A little eye candy

January 23rd, 2008

I got around to making a couple cards last night before my cold set in. I have had a fever off and on all night and today and I have a sore throat. Just plain icky feeling!

But before I got sick I tackled the MFT sketch challenge and the SCS sketch challenges. Here’s the MFT first:

Umbrella

I just love this set and my new paper! I got my package from All that scraps yesterday and there was loads of new paper for me! And some new dew drops, gotta love those! I colored the flower from the SU pretties kit with a copic to get a better match to the DP. I also drew under each raindrop with a sakura glitter pen, the rain was done in irridescent ice EP. And I added some waterfall stickles to the puddle. It’s raining glitter!

And here’s the SCS sketch challenge:

Perk-up

I’ve had this crafty secrets set for about a week and I have been dying to ink it up! I have been debating about this set for about 6 months or so and I finally caved in and got it, I love it! I just love retro stuff, so I knew I would like this set. I have my eye on 2 other crafty secrets sets…..in time. I used some more new DP ‘catching butterflies’ on this, the colors seemed to go so nicely with the image.

I am hoping to get the tutorial for the stamped pendants this weekend and also get the dimensions for the recipe box together too! I just have to do some other stuff first.

Tomorrow Sean and I are going to the Childrens Hospital for a class that is for parents with children who have autism. They hold the class once a quarter, so we “lucked” out that it happens right now. No luck I don’t think, too many coincidences for it all to be luck. Next week will be super busy for us, well actually the next 3 weeks and then I’m sure it will get even more crazy.

I still have my training at the gym Wed and Fridays, every other Monday is my therapist, every other Thursday is my psychiatrist,  on Tuesday Audrey has her OT/ST and then next Thursday (and the following 2 Thursdays) we are the the UW autism research center for the official diagnosis and to decide on treatment. And then the following Tuesday at 2pm we have someone coming to the house that’s from the Snohomish County autism center. They are meeting with us and finding out about Audrey and then they will send someone out to the house to work with us at home. Not too much time to spare.

Oh and next Wednesday is Ava’s 4th birthday, so throw that into the mix.

I’m gonna go crawl under a blanket and watch some tv with Ava. Have a great Wednesday!

    Great cards! You are going to be VERY busy over the next month, huh? I guess I didn’t understand you live at least semi close to me. I’m in Kittitas county. Nice to meet you neighbor! :o)

    Oh sweetie take a deep breath. It is alot at first. You are taking great steps to help your daughter! And maybe the birthday with put a big distraction in there! Hope va has a great birthday! Remember the HARDEST part-you still need to do for the other kids and not let them SEE you too stressed. They don’t know WHAT is going on bu tthat will affect them. DOnt get me wrong you can fall apart just try not to let them know it.

    You KNOW i LOVE you coffee card!! Good for you for getting it! Don’t you love it?
    And of course your MFT card is super sweet.

    Keep us posted, Im praying for you all!

    Oh, you seem to have more on your plate than you can chew! :-( I hope you feel better very soon!♥

    Here the spirits are down too, Noah blew his 1st fuse yesterday night, a big bad tantrum, he was so upset he was shaking, that never happened before and made me freak out! :-(
    I’m trying to take one day at a time.
    That’s the first recommendation his therapists gave me, back in the beginning…

    Elizabeth - I had just commented on your amazing entry to become the next MFT Guest Designer. Then, I clicked on your blog. The first thing I noticed is that we designed a very similar card this week. Here’s mine
