You're The Best

I know I've been gone for quite some time.  I have honestly been trying to get to the craft room and film a video, but life has a way of keeping me extremely busy right now!  Luckily, today I got out of class a bit early, so I raced home to film a video while my kids were still at school.  I actually ended up getting two filmed...so I have one ready for next week (great for me since I'll be with my mom at Stanford most of next week).

I was able to do some serious crafting this past weekend.  I actually was playing along with all the National Scrapbook Day challenges posted on My Pink Stamper's site.  She does a big blog party every year with tons of giveaways and challenges.  This year there were 12.  Since it was Mother's Day weekend, I didn't feel a bit guilty about holing up in my craft room to play for a while on Saturday and Sunday.  You can see all of my projects on my Flickr site (linked in the left sidebar of my blog).  I was keeping the projects simple in order to create something for every challenge.

Today's card is actually a card I used for a Mother's Day card.  I combined several tools, stamp sets and techniques to create this card.  I used my Lifestyle Crafts dies, my Cricut, stamps by Hero Arts and Stampin' Up, watercolor wonder crayons, a Sakura Gelly Roll pen, a Viva Decor Pearl Pen and paper by DCWV.  There's even a button!  Wow.  I think there's something for everyone!

I'd love to hear what you did for Mother's Day weekend.  Did you get spoiled?  Did you find some "me" time?  I hope you did!

Enjoy your day!  I'll be back soon with another card and video for you!

Just a note...I'm always open for suggestions.  Is there something you want to see?  Let me know.
