Today's post is bittersweet...a sweet little monkey card for my last Reverse Confetti project. I pulled out lots of RC stamps and dies to make this one. It's a combination of Monkey Business and Weather it Together along with various sizes of circles from three separate sets of Confetti Cuts to create these fun little windows. 

Goodbyes are the hardest, aren't they? So let's not say goodbye...let's say we'll see each other on blogs and social media. You know I'll be watching you! Where else do you think I get so much inspiration from?!?!?

For the past week I've been cleaning up and reorganizing my office which is a huge undertaking that needs to be done sooner or later. A couple of the things I love about getting my office back into shape is that it feels so good when things are organized and not bursting at the seams! I donate things and rediscover other things I haven't used in a while like the fancy die cut used for this Scraptastic Club card design.

It's from Top Dog Dies and it's makes such a pretty background for this Free Fallin' November 2014 kit. What do you think of the great big bow? This ribbon looks like it was made for this card! Score! Love using up more of my stash! :) 

Making the Team

Well...Hellooooooooo!

Today's a great day! The sun is shining! I get to work on a scrapbook page using a cool new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket and I finally get to show you one of the cards I submitted to Bella Blvd. that earned a spot on their fabulous new team! Yippee! This week on the Bella Blvd. blog they have been introducing the team and showing you two of the projects submitted by each gal. Today is my introduction day and I hope you can take a moment to hop over and see my cards!

Here's one of my Bella Blvd. card submissions...

These two owls are quite a hoot! So cute! I had to create a card just for them!

This patterned paper was perfect for showing off my love of stitching on projects.

I created this 'together' flag with a sticker and toothpick. One of the little owls volunteered to hold it for me! ;)

I used the 'Finally Fall' collection from Bella Blvd. for this card and the others I submitted. It's really an amazing collection! I got into my grove with this line and had a great time with it.

Hey!

I'm in my office this morning checking e-mail, posting a card share on my blog and stalling...I don't want to clean house! I really enjoy a clean house, but I hate the work it takes to get there! Who likes cleaning anyway? And it's not just the work I don't like, it's how fast the work gets trashed! My sweet boy will come home after I've been cleaning all day and put both hands on the front door leaving prints on the glass I cleaned only hours before! Then the dear boy goes to the coat closet to put his shoes away, which is so cool of him, but proceeds to leave a bunch of playground sand on the floor!

Then there's our furry cats! Have you seen a photo of them? I'll attach one at the end of this post. Anyway, they are extremely furry! It makes them the softest lovable little beasts, but the fur! It's crazy how much fur wafts around in clumps and gets everywhere, even in the freezer! Just how furry is it? It's soooooo furry that I often have to vacuuming the walls! Yep! Little clumps stuck to the walls! It's insane! If we didn't love those two little fur bags...well you know where they would be! On the curb with their kitty dishes! The ones with the little fishies on the bottom! :)

Okay, enough complaining. And whining. I have it good! Real good...to live in such a lovely home and have such 'huge' problems! ;)

Onto my card...

I like this card! Isn't the little house adorable? It's a chipboard accent from the 'Finally Fall' collection from Bella Blvd.

Everything on this card is from the line except the craft string bow and the little button I added to the house!

A little stitching, some pot dots and ta-da! I hope you like it! And I hope it gets you to go to your crafty space to create something fun. No, you don't have to clean the house! ;) You can put that off for a few days, or another week! :)

Here are the fur boys! This photo was taken yesterday morning. They're in my craft room. They're here this morning too looking much the same! I joke about them being so helpful and full of energy! ;) I herd the two of them up to my office in the morning saying,"Come on boys, let's go work!" Then I follow behind them as we make our way up to the attic where they take their spot in the morning sun! It's a tough life!

Well, whether you clean, craft or take a nap with your lazy beast, I hope it's a wonderful day! :)
