Almost the Weekend!



Well it is for me! I am off on Friday so today is my last day of work of the week. I am ready for it too, I could use some extended time in my craft room. I have a huge stack of images that have been colored and I hope to get a large number of them made into cards this weekend. The card I have to show you today uses a Sweet Pea image from Rachel Anderson called Sunrise. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists from Sweet Pea too. Everything is colored with Copics, paper is from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon I got at Target a while back. For a while, Target was carrying this ribbon in their stationary section with some wedding stuff. I like this ribbon too, it is very silky and came in about four or five colors. I went in one day and they had marked it on clearance really cheap so I was able to grab a several rolls. I love this gray one most of all I think. Ribbon is one of those things that I buy all the time and just seem to collect more than I use them! My goal this year is to use up quite a bit of my ribbon before purchasing any more. A couple of weeks ago Jenna and Samantha were here and Jenna wanted to look through my ribbon for some hair ribbons for herself and I let her. Even after we cut off enough for several hair ribbons, it still didn't make a dent in my ribbon stash. "Must not buy new ribbon" is my catch phrase I am repeating when I am in a craft store right now!

Have a great day!
