A Cringeworthy Pun

on September 29, 2010

Sometimes its necessary to make a card that just doesn’t include pretty papers.

I only said sometimes though. :0)

Usually, of course, this is when it involves a boy, and for Olly’s leaving card, I knew that I had to pull out all the stops.

Olly never fails to make me laugh, smile and likely roll my eyes, and although I have mostly only hung out with him when he was under the influence of a few tipples at the pub, its easy to see that he is a genuine guy. And I have a lot of respect and love for people like that.

Another thing that I love is that I don’t think Olly knows how to take life seriously. And we can all learn something from him in that respect. Life’s too short to be unhappy or grumpy, or serious…live life with a smile. It’ll feel much better I promise!

If any of you know this Olly, you will know why I have made this card, as he is the only guy i know that can grow such an impressive beard in a matter of days! Although there is simply no excuse for such a cringeworthy pun! haha!

This was the first card i’ve made using my birthday pressie, my Wacom Intuos 4 (thank you Bear) and it was so much fun. It’s taking a while to get used to it, but it is definitely much easier than the other graphic tablets i have used before. Two thumbs up from me!

So here is my first digital card. Okay, I admit, I missed using buttons and ribbons and bling….but at least i got some fuzzy felt paper on there to add a little texture.

Thanks for stopping by, and Olly – We miss you. xo

Waiting….

Hey everyone,

Happy Saturday!!

I want to share a secret layout with you today.

I made it earlier this year, a couple of months before we found the pink lines. I hated waiting every month, just counting down the days to see if this time, we might be lucky. Well, that is if it has anything to do with luck.

There were a few months of disappointment, and a whole lotta frustration, not to mention a few hormonal temper tantrums, but finally we got the two lines that we were hoping for. But every time, there was always that feeling of excitement. The wondering. The imagining. The waiting. A bitter sweet experience to say the least.

So, sorry for making you wait until I shared this with you, but we wanted to be past the dangerzone before we announced our family plans….and anyway, they say that good things come to those who wait!

xoxo
