so this is the layout that i started using the star-diecut paper. the scraps that came from this went into the card i posted yesterday … with some scraps from another layout that is still needing to be finished.
i wanted to use the star die-cut paper as part of a challenge that nichol did on the ki memories blog last week. i had the red star paper … and i’m loving the red/pink/green color combo lately. with touches of black and white to really make the colors "pop"! the decorative scalloped notecard is from the april KOTM. the ribbons, shimmer chipboard letters, mini button brads, and shimmer star brads are all from making memories. and the jumbo brads are heidi swapp.
i just love this die-cut paper … but i won’t even tell you how long it took me to get up the nerve to cut it. lol! huge decision … and you just can’t rush cutting paper like that.
back to work i suppose. my girls are back in school this week … after a month off. so we’re adjusting to getting back on schedule. and i’m adjusting to spending my days with little ones that just don’t give me much conversation … nothing i understand at least. lol! haley is learning to talk … saying so many new words every day. she doesn’t always want to say "laura" … so i’m trying to get her to call me "dude". nikolas is so close to learning how to walk. he’s 10 months. he cruises around this place like no one’s business … flying from furniture to furniture without even a second thought. he lets go of things … and has that look on his face like he really does believe that he can make it to where he wants to go. so cute! and today he managed to somehow take his pants off twice … pretty good i thought since they have a good elastic waist. lol! ariana is ariana … full of funny stories and tons of questions.
and with that … the babies are both awake! back later!
