I didn’t fall off the face of the planet, I promise. But, I would like to ask, where in the heck does time go? It felt like the beginning of March just yesterday. I’m trying to get myself back into my schedule, but it’s not working very well. I did only have a 15 minute nap today. I am also trying to get some school stuff done as well. Again, not going very well. Well, it’s going, just very, very slowly! 
Emailing and writing a letter counts as something, right?
Tomorrow is my birthday! I turn the big 2-4! Exciting stuff, I tell you. My mom and step-dad are taking me for sushi tomorrow. That is, after I stamp all day tomorrow! That’s my present to myself. (Among other things! LOL)
Here is a card I made last week.
This is my second card with the Butterfly Kisses set from PaperTrey: (the first I’m going to send in to see if I can become the guest artist – (I wish!) )
I randomly positioned the circles on my acrylic block and stamped them on my card. I stamped the blocked butterfly image off once before I stamped it on the paper. Then I stamped the circled butterfly image. I wanted a touch of black and ended up stamping the little butterfly outline along the edge. I wish I hadn’t, but oh well.
I am in a distressing edges and direct-to-paper techniques recently. It’s a simple look, but I love it.
On another front, I’ve decided to start writing. I bought a bunch of books the other day… (Why is it that B&N decides to stock EVERY book possible on a topic and I feel the need to buy them all?) mostly things that you can use to start writing. I have no idea what I’m going to write about, but perhaps if I start writing maybe inspiration will hit! Of course, I bought them Sunday and still haven’t written anything. Setting up a “daily time” would probably work, but I’m off schedule. (My poor children are going to be so weirded out by “schedules” - LOL!) Do you suppose I should wake up earlier? I hate waking up early!
Anyways… I probably should work for a little while so I can have fun on my birthday! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I promise I will be better!
Thanks for dropping by!
I am so glad you are back…I totally think you need to send this in for Guest Designer…love it! And yes, go for the writing thing…I have always enjoyed writing and everyone tells me I need to get published…we will see…sometimes I have more fun reading about writing than I do writing! *snort*
Just found your blog, great stuff and I love your card. I am also sending in some cards for the Papertrey Guest artists contest…Good Luck! Happy stamping, Ida
Great card (did wonder where you had disappeared to. lol) glad to see you back. Oh to be 24 again!!! hope you have a fabby birthday and get lots of goodies.
That a beauty of a card! I think the little black butterflies up the side are a great balance look. I think I’m going to have to invest in some more stamps!
Stamp away the day tomorrow and enjoy the sushi! (not for me but DH loves it!)

Beautiful card! I’m not a huge fan of DTP, but it works awesomely here!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy the sushi!! And good luck with the writing!!
I’ve been considering buying some PaperTrey stamps. I’ve just never used any acrylics. For some reason I’m skeptical. Any thoughts on them? Are there some companies that are better quality, etc?
I love your card! Love the colors and the circles.
Great job!
Chris
Happy Birthday Kendra!! Keeping my fingers crossed…have fun on you b-day. You card is gorgeous!!!!
