Am SO an Angel!

...even if my halo's slightly tilted. lol This layout is from the October Sheetload. I love this layout and will definitely be using it again! The sentiment says Laugh with me. All dp is BG Sultry (ironic with angels, right?)

Always hard to photograph, this card has lots of sparkle. The angels are colored with Koh-i-noor, then covered in clear Spica AtYou. The wings are silver Spica. The image is double-matted and both the first mat and their halos are traced with gold Spica. Super sparkly IRL.

Thanks for looking!

Today I'm grateful for: playing games with my daughter this morning, good school pics by both boys, warmer than average temps, homemade quiche, and that it really is okay if my halo is crooked - God loves me anyway.

Shout Out to SheetLoad

You know I'm trying to get rid of my scrap stack, so I was quite happy to find SheetLoad. Each month brings a new issue with a sketch, samples, and diagrams to cut enough for 8 cards with minimal waste. Oh what a happy girl I am! I can make a stack of cards and not add to the scrap stack - yay! Go check out the February issue, sponsored by Unity (one of my faves). Feb has a cute layout and tons of fab samples for your inspiration:

My card uses Cupcakes a la Yummy stamp set and DCWV dp. The cupcake frosting has Crystal Lacquer and microbeads. The dots on the liner are colored with gold Spica.

Thanks for looking!

Day 28 - Today I gave away our double bike trailer.

Today I'm grateful for: my husband was not one of the guys laid off from his employer today, oatmeal with apple chunks, my kids goofing off together, dog sleeping with her head in my lap, whole family hug
