Yep, that's why I haven't been updating my blog these past days. I am just plain lazy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol! That, and I'm tired and right now I'm sticky hot on this Memorial Day Weekend. Today I went to a family picnic and now I'm at home catching up on laundry and prepping my 2 rocking chairs on my front porch to be repainted. That's what I love about these extended holiday weekends... gives me the opportunity to do extra household chores and home projects that have been on hold for so long! Ohh, and of course, being lazy and chowing down ice cream AND all the other favorite picnic foods ! ;)
So this week I had a very heavy box delivered to my front door. We are talking about 35 lbs. of heaviness... 35 lbs. of pure LOVE! My first Core'dinations dt box arrived and it was overflowing with cardstock. I just couldn't believe my eyes, and tearing into that box, I felt just like a little kid on Christmas Day! I've started creating some things with it too this week, mostly card designs.
Most of them I can't really show just yet, but I'll share one card that I made using the Vintage Core collection, which is one of my favorite lines.
This card also uses some yummy Sassafras papers and one of their chipboard flower accents. And to you see the denim strip on there? I rubbed some cute Studio Calico button rub-ons over it and added them to an old Creative Cafe diecut frame as well! The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink stamp.
I also participated in a fun card kit swap this week at the Nook and here's a card that I put together to send along to my swap partner...
For this card I used up the remains of my Pink Paislee (House of Three) Daily Junque paper scraps, and the darling flower I created using the Cricut Give a Hoot cartridge.
So that's all I have for this time, but I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We don't have much at all planned for tomorrow but we'll probably hang out with some friends at their camp-site... and maybe I'll even have some more ice cream! ;) Perfect plan!

First, I wouldn't call you lazy when it's been so stinkin hot & humid or so cloudy, you just can't get motivated to do anything.
