Hellloooo Out There!

I have become the world's most neglectful blogger. Sorry about that. I guess I've just been having too much fun offline :) I've been creating lots and sharing very little. Let's remedy that.

To ease myself back in to blogging, I thought I'd post a seasonally-appropriate card. I put this baby together for today's Limited Supplies Challenge at SCS. The challenge was to make a long and skinny card, which (aside from shaped cards) is one of my very favorite kind of cards to make! I don't make them nearly often enough, so this was a fun one! Yippee! :)

I spent ALL DAY yesterday cataloging stamps from the last 6 months. They are finally all indexed and put away, so I have some desk space back! While I was doing that, I came across this Kim Hughes set that my mom had gotten me for my birthday. It was uninked until now, but I think I'll be pulling out this set a lot! I have a not-so-secret girl crush on Kim Hughes.

On to the card! :)



I hate how everyone skips right from Halloween to Christmas, forgetting that there's this whole very-important occasion in between (that a lot of people don't understand is NOT about how much you can eat in one sitting). So I thought I'd make a card to remind myself. :) I colored my image with Copic markers and assembled a pretty simple card.

I had some "issues" with the bow. I must have played around with different ribbons and formations for about 45 minutes before I came up with something respectable. All in a day's work right?

Here's a closeup of this adorable image.
