Wow, did I not realize how spoiled I got to working only half days! Didn't like the half-time pay, but sure loved only working half-time. Kind of threw off my schedule last week, trying to get back in the groove. I finished my daughter's formal and made a matching purse (will post picture later). Chuck, Tyler and I did yard work yesterday and this morning, so this afternoon was the only paper playing time I've had this week. I was tinkering with a new Cricut cartridge I got, and saw this cut called "finial" but it looks like it could be a vase. So I cut it out as a tag, made a bunch of different flowers and created a tiny little bouquet. Lots of Stickles on the flowers, and as patina on the vase. Hopefully this week I'll be more in a routine so I can do some more paper creating, though I know I won't be able to keep up the pace I had been. Just not enough hours in the day. :)

Last card this week, as we are going camping this weekend, leaving this afternoon. Can't wait!! Monday I start full-time hours at the law firm. Finally! The part-time hours were playing havoc on the savings account! I've been at the law firm four months a 20 hours a week, and they asked me to go full-time. Still getting used to legal side of things, considering I have worked in medical field since I was 15, but they say I'm doing a good job. Okey dokey!
I had planned on using this "Ballerina Resting" digi image from Priscilla Styles for the Midnight Madness sketch, and when I saw that Crafty Cardmakers challenge was decoupage, this is what I came up with. I printed the image three times, colored it with Copics. Then I cut out the full skirt and then part of the skirt for the top layer. I used scraps of Grunge Paper to pop the images up, as foam dots were too thick. Added some Stickles and a few pearls for a bit of bling.
