Viva la Verve May week 2

Good morning crafty friends and happily hump day! How everyone is having a great week!

 My son is two weeks old today! We are headed to hour appointment shortly.

I'm hoping he is back to his birth weight as his pediatrician said that's what they like to see

at 2 weeks. I think he will be. He was only down by 5 ounces at his first 

appointment when he was 5 days old. Anyways before we head out I wanted to share a 

card I made following the May week 2 sketch from Viva la Verve.

Enabler's List:

Viva la Verve June week 1

Good morning crafty friends! I sure hope y'all and a great weekend!

I definitely had a nice and relaxing one! Even better is I got the day off work

today! I can finally take my mom out for the lunch I have been

planning since Mother's day! Not going to lie, I did ask my boss if I could

take off. We have a part time guy who is wanting some more hours

so he worked for me today. I am actually supposed to be going part time

sometime... I don't know when this will actually happen. I'm thinking

my boss doesn't actually want it to happen. lol. Anyways, I was

able to get a lot of cardmaking in over the weekend and wanted to share

one this morning. For this card I followed the June week 1 sketch from

Viva la Verve. I am also entering this card into the current 

Verve Inspiration Challenge and the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Mojo Monday #400 and Coffee Lovers

Good Sunday morning crafty friends! What a lovely weekend it has been so

far here in OK! It has been so nice to have not had any rain or 

severe storms in the last week! We've been able to take a walk every

evening! My hubby mapped it and our long neighborhood walk

is 1.5 miles. We've been trying to do that with the dogs every evening.

Since it has also been a pretty uneventful weekend I have been able to sit 

down and get some good crafting time in! Tonight I wanted to 

share another card using the special #400 sketch from Mojo Monday.

I am also entering this card into the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 and the current Verve Inspirations Challenge.

Viva la Verve May week 3

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great weekend!

Sorry I haven't been posting much! We closed on our house this 

past week so I haven't had much time to craft. Probably wont either

for the next few weeks until we get completely moved.

The house is getting painted now, should be done by this coming 

weekend so we can get the new carpet down. We were working on the 

fence yesterday. A storm that had gone through a few months ago

took a few posts and panels out. Once that's finished, we will

move on to building the shed base... Busy busy but it's going to 

be so worth it! I will post before and after pics when it's finished!

Last night I was able to create one card. For this card I used

Viva la Verve's May week 3 sketch.

Enabler's List:

Paper: Prima DP, CTMH Ruby and Kraft cardstock

Stamps: MFT Birthday Greetings, Verve Sunny Days

Ink: CTMH Exclusive Inks in Ruby, Goldrush, Crystal Blue, and Chocolate
