We seemed to be running all week long. I think it started Tuesday when I started a basic photography course. It is going to be a lot of fun and I am really excited about it but there was a lot to remember and take in the first week.With Joe still away I ended up having a babysitter 3 times this week. For the photagraphy course, a dentist appt. and stamping Thursday night. We haven't had a babysitter in months so I was a little worried about how the kids would do but they were great. Both nights they were in bed by the time I got home and the sitter said they were great! That makes it so much easier on me (and them) when I have to go out.
Wednesday morning Emma went to the daycare and had a blast with the other kids. I had been thinking about sending her once a week to get her around other kids and since she had such a good time we have decided to do it. When we go to playgroup she is stuck to my side most of the morning. I am hoping this will help with a bit of that "shyness". Is that a word?
Anyway, only 2 more days till Joe comes home! I have been doing a bit of stamping but I plan on doing a lot more next week :) I broke down a few weeks ago and ordered copic markers. I colored a few images with them but I haven't made any of them into cards yet......maybe tonight.
Oh! I should say somthing about the card, shouldn't I? The layout was cased from a card I saw somewhere online that was shared at leadership. Sorry I can't remember where it was.
I don't know how well you can see it in the pic but there are 3 half circles under the bashful blue piece. I punched them out of terrifically tacky tape and then once they were on the card I pressed them into the blue micro beads. I added the micro beads on the bird with Tombo Mono Multi (my new fav glue!). The beads on the right side are on a staple. I just opened one side of the staple, slid them on, bent the side back down and then pushed it into the card.
Time to get some cleaning done......blah. It is a really damp, cloudy day here, we had a bit of snow last night. Hopefully it will clear up later so I can get my homework done for my photography class. I don't want to be doing it at the last minute Tuesday. Although, I am a procrastinator so chances are that is what will happen :)

Karen, The card is gorgeous...I've never thought about punching out the terrifically tacky tape - hmmm - did the adhesive do any damage to the punch?
I am sure you will LOVE the photography course! I took two of them and learned so much (I didn't like the technical stuff though). Good luck with it.
You??? procrastinate?? actually, you do your best work under pressure! I can't wait to see your pics after the course, they already were great!
Hey Karen I am missing my thursday night stampin fix. See you when you come down for paper arts a thon in May. Mom and I are going to stop by and say hi.

Ok, what photography course are you taking? I need to fit that in our schedule here..you have reminded me... and like everything old is new again, Ria & I have had a lot of experience with tacky tape... it's not easy on your punches so be wary. goo gone kind of works ( but don't drink it ...ok, I just realized I haven't posted THAT story...I must!).The best stuff is the undo & punsch lots of tin foil...card is sweet!
