Love my Bug!

Love my Bug!

It’s pretty late, yet I’m still up.  I know I will be tired tomorrow, because I am getting up with my 6yr old who gets up around 6:30 am.  I am short one child this weekend! My youngest went to stay with his Aunt and Uncle for his first ever weekend away without his brother! He was sooo excited about it, that when I hugged him goodbye, he was pulling away after a second saying ” O.K…Mom… I gotta go now!”  He is only 3, and thinking he is a real big boy now that he is going away on his own!  I promised my older boy that he would get to play video games on Saturday, because his brother wouldn’t be around to play with.  Hmmm, if I’m really lucky, I might just get some time to play too! Stamping that is….

I made the card above for the limited supply challenge on SCS.  The challenge was for us to use a single non-neutral colour, with white, and that’s all!   I decided to keep it simple, keeping in mind that I wanted to use my cuttlebug again, and maybe make something I could mass produce.   It’s a top fold card.

  • Stamp: SU Curvy Verses
  • Paper-White Paperbilities, navy blue Bazzill Basics
  • ribbon- unknown
  • Ink- SU Not Quite Navy
  • Cuttlebug & cuttlebug folder in floral fantasy

Have a great Saturday!

    this is awesome! Simple, beautiful, elegance! I love that cb folder–is it a new style? I’ve not seen it before, but I just got mine recently so I’m behind in folders and still haven’t got swiss dots, shame shame! :) I love that sheer dotted ribbon too! Wonderful card! Have a great weekend!

    Beautiful! Sleek and classy, the ribbon is just the right embellishment!

    Hope you little guys have fun apart! I always remember thinking how much I wanted them to be independent, and then when they actually were, as in your story, I was a bit sad! Mommy moments!
