Card Case

Wow!  This day did not at all go as I had planned!  I woke up this morning, expecting that my 3 year old son would be going to pre-school for the day, and at 7:30 AM my plans were ruined.  His school called that the day had to be cancelled since the teacher had an emergency and they could not get a replacement!  Well my plans for a day working and filming and creating was gone in a space of 1 minute.  My day was instead spent trying to entertain my son and keep him out of trouble.  He himself was not happy about missing his school.  He loves to go, and being such an active child, needs the company and environment to burn off his excess energy.  It is now 10 pm and I finally have a silent house with no one calling out anymore.  Things have just been so crazy for both Andrea and I that we just have not had as much time to blog as we would like to, so we do apologize and hope you can be patient with us as we try to slog through our workload.

OK, so for today’s card, I wanted to try something different.  Every month I get the Paper Craft magazine, and I just love reading it and looking for ideas.  Well there is one designer in there who’s work I just love.  Her name is Betsy Veldman, and I always look forward to seeing her work.  She has such a beautiful Vintagy style that is just gorgeous!  Well I saw a card on page 53 of the March/April 2010 issue of the magazine that was created by Betsy Veldman.  I wanted to see if I could create the same sort of feel/card  using our Stampin’ Up! products.  The ledger paper I used actually came from an accounting ledger book which I purchased for 10 dollars from an office supply store.  I am not sure If I like how mine turned out, but here it is anyway.  I don’t have anything else that I am ready to show yet but figured I may as well show my iffy card for lack of anything better.  This thursday I have a puch project to share which I am just tickled pink with!  I will have the PDF for you tomorrow.

Hugs,
