Hi Again!

It's been a while!

Welcome back hoppers! If you have hopped in from Janelle's blog you are in the right place!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!

I feel I still have a Christmas hangover :)

Leading up to Christmas we had (and still have) major renovations going on so we have had a lot of sleepless nights painting walls and ceilings etc so I missed the last hop... The mad rush to get everything ready was due to us hosting Christmas celebrations at our house! Also we had to accommodate a full house with my sister and her family visiting from Townsville and friends from NZ here to enjoy the Sydney sunshine and to tinker on cars.

So I was going to miss this hop too as we are still playing host and my new craft room (instead of being completed) has turned into a storage room of paint, building materials and tools till we get back into it.

Current craft room state :(

But... I couldn't miss out again so it was Lou Lou to the rescue and I got to raid her craft room YAY!!

This is hop #9!!

Sitting in Lou Lou's craft room I couldn't think of a card to make :( My mind was blank... I didn't know what kind of card to make?!? I missed out on making a card for my dear hubby's birthday the other day and I really wanted to make up for it... All my handmade stamps are packed away so my Kombi stamps were out of action
AAAAHHHHHHH what to do?!?

I started out by picking out the Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Bermuda Bay and this was the start of my colour base for the card. I spied out the new happy heart textured embossing folder which I HAD to use too!!

The Just sayin' stamp set was mixed up a bit as I used two stamps... the 'love ya' stamp is in an oval bubble but I wanted to use the rectangular bubble framelit instead (I had to make it difficult)

The last thing I added was the buttons... It was a should I or shouldn't I moment... Decisions?? Decisions?!? Executive decision was made by Lou Lou and three were added :)

It's not a very masculine card that I would normally make him but it shows how much I love him.

I hope you love my card! I am so happy I joined in again! I will be even happier when I have a craft room too where I can de-stress more!!
