Ok I’ve been super busy and I know I’ve been neglecting the good old blog. I do have an excuse though… classes! It takes a long time to prepare for classes. Cards for example. I like to have everything cut for students, and even inked if I have the time. Anyway, all that takes time, and a lot of it. So thus the lack of posts. I’m full of excuses.

It is finally nice out here. I’m guessing it is in the mid 70’s, and sunny. Weather like this makes me happy and hopefully it holds out though tomorrow so that I can spend some time outside with my family. We plan to work in the yard and I’d like to get some flowers planted in the yard. Cross your fingers for me!

I did this layout a few days ago and I love how it turned out. It is really very minimal on embellishments but I don’t think it really needs anything else. I painted the “2″ with a Ranger Acrylic Paint Dabber. Those are super handy and I’m slowly collecting them in each color available. Each one is equipped with a built in applicator and if you want to paint freely just remove the cap and dip your brush. The jewels are Prima as is the flower accent. The printed paper is Basic Grey. Anyway I really like how it turned out. It helps to have a cute photo though!

Get out and enjoy your Saturday!!
