The One with the Day O' Fun!

So, today I had the day off of work. I worked a ton last weekend, and was able to flex my time and take today off. WOO HOO! My lovely husband took the kids to school and went to work, leaving me with the house to myself ALL DAY! **BLISS**

I had birthday cards to do, as well as a banner for my son's soccer team, so I decided to play with some toys that I had yet to use. 1) The markers for the Cricut and 2) my new Cuttlebug!! The markers were actually pretty cool, but I was doing 12x12 letters so the markers made a nice outline around them. I have heard that many people wish they were finer point, which I can see, but for this project they worked nicely. I will post a picture of the banner tomorrow when I get one at the field.

The birthday cards were my first experiment with the Cuttlebug. I used the swiss dots and somekind of floral embossing folder. I can't remember what it's called, and I threw away the package **sigh** I like the way these cards turned out tho. With those two embossing folders and the package (doodlecharms, birthday hat (doodlecharms), and parentheses (George) from the Cricut, I think the recipients will like them. Oh yeah, I inked the edges of everthing with chocolate chalk ink. I am working on my inking technique, haven't perfected it yet, but it looks OK I guess.

Tomorrow I am working on getting all my supplies sorted out so I can move everything onto my new table that my husband built for me to work on. I have stuff EVERYWHERE, so I am bound to find some hidden treasures in my pursuit of organization!
