Yess, it is finally Friday! And since I was supposed to work today but they called me and told me not to come in due to a low count kid day, well, that means I have more time to do other things here at home! I just need to decide what all I should tackle first... there are many things I could easily put at the top of my to-do list! Painting for one! Oh gosh, there are so many rooms in this house that we want to paint and the problem is, it's a big game of procrastination. So I am thinking that removing the wall paper border down in our basement would be a perfect place for me to start this afternoon perhaps. And I also believe it's a good day to start cleaning out some cupboards, closets and the hutch in our living room. Then in between all that I guess I might as well do a few loads of laundry too! I think that's a good start. When the dh is home on vacation two weeks from now we plan to do some more painting, primarily the front door and the window shutters. The door is white and the shutters are currently hunter green and we plan to re-paint them all a black/gray color. Can't wait to see what it'll look like!
Before I move on to the to-do list though, I will share with you some of my latest cards that I made with Core'dinations cardstock. They are all Summer related themes, so I hope you'll enjoy them!
This first card I used "A Child's Year" Cricut cartridge. I love the nostalgic and silhouette imagery on this cart!
For the sand and accenting on the starfish, I used Tim Holtz's Distressing powder in Frayed Burlap to give the perfect grainy effect with the Vintage and Core Essentials cardstock!
And this card was a fun and easy one to put together with coordinating products from SEI's "a FAIR day" collection. I love the glittery accenting in this line paired up with Core Couture glitter cardstock. I also used some Core Essentials spritzed with Glimmer Mist.
And last... a card with some Core Essentials in the Pastels range. Mmmm,some cotton candy would taste sooo good right now! I cut the banners and cotton candy with the Cricut Carousel cartridge.
And speaking of Core'dinations... I just had a great box delivered to me yesterday containing all the new releases of Core! Girls, it all looks sooo wonderful... esp. that dreamy looking Tim Holtz Kraft Core line! Ohh my, I can't wait to create with it all, so I guess I'd better write that down on my to-do list as well! Think that's it for now. But, I will be a busy girl for the rest of the day. Time for me to crack the whip on myself! Have a great weekend everyone :)
