Lookie Here...

it's Friday! I feel like I missed a whole day. Wednesday afternoon I found out I had to organize a lunch for 75 people at church following a funeral the next day. That meant planning, shopping and making a huge pasta salad on Wednesday and then setting up, serving and cleaning up yesterday. Needless to say anything I thought I was doing with that time was quickly shelved. But I was glad to help serve a family of our church during such a difficult time.

Last night I took my Copic markers upstairs, put in Pride and Prejudice and colored a bunch of images I had stamped and printed from digi files. I have seen P&P so many times I was content to just listen and look up during the good parts. My favorite is the 5 hour A&E version but last night I opted for the shorter movie version. Then this morning before work I used one of the images to make a card. I find I create so much better in the morning, not sure if it is because I am more alert or because I know I only have a certain amount of time and I want to get it done.

This image is a digi file I bought from Mo Manning's Digital Pencil Too site, it's called Out There. Isn't it a fun image? The sailor outfit makes me happy! I paired the image up with some paper by Prima and some navy card stock I embossed with a Cuttlebug star folder. I cut out 2 of the stars to use for embellishments. All the papers and twill have been distressed a bit with ink.

Since this card was made without a recipient in mind, I have left off a sentiment for now. When the time comes to use it I will add one. Or maybe I will just hoard this card along with most of the ones I make, lol.

My boys come home today! I can't wait to hear all about the fun they had at camp.

Have a great weekend.
