long time, no blogging.

I’ve missed blogging. In addition to planning the new house, I’m not adjusting to the temporary apartment well. It’s just not conducive in space or lighting to make crafting easy for me. But I managed to suck it up last night and do some projects that have been neglected while I spent my extra time taking in episodes of Holmes on Homes and Sarah’s House and researching appliances. I didn’t feel truly inspired but I managed to make a scrap half sheet of 12×12 American Crafts patterned paper work to my advantage.

hello friend

I had this flowered American Craft scrap paper sitting in the stash just begging to be used.  So, I decided on a simple layout and went to work. I would have never thought this in a million years but Papertrey Ink’s Friends Til the End stamp set is one of my most loved and used sets of all time.

I made these card with all different bows. I managed to use up the rest of my Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush Satin Ribbon. The colors match the gift tote that I will be sending out to a few of my girlies. I’ve meant to sent them out for the 4th of July but ended changing it up because well, we are almost one month past. :) I hope everyone has been well. I can’t wait to make the rounds and see what everyone has been up to!
