CAS Kissing!

Hello!  Happy Tuesday!  Can't believe it's Tuesday already!  :>  The weekend was a waste for me as I spent Saturday and Sunday not feeling well!  No fun but happy to report I am back at it!  :>  Currently as I type this post I am making turkey soup and working on cinnamon buns!  If your wondering how come I am making turkey soup it's because my mom called us up on Sunday and said "come for dinner I had to pull the turkey out of the freezer since I need the room!"  She sent me home with lots of leftovers!  And cinnamon buns?  Well I've never made them with yeast and I am needing a change from muffins and loafs!  Plus who doesn't love cinnamon buns?

I was quite excited about the current Lily Pad Kissing Challenge as well it's one of my favorite techniques!  So I had to play!  Here's my card:

I kissed a leaf from Leaf Clusters with Envelope Pattern Background stamp both by Hero Arts together.  I used shabby shutters distress ink with chocolate chip ink by SU.  I tied some matching twine by the twinery and added a button.  I made this card on Friday and left it sentiment less.  I didn't know where to put it so I put the card aside, I considered leaving it sentimentless but it didn't feel finished.  Today out of the blue it dawned on me to put a brown strip with the sentiment across.  So off I went embossing in white the sentiment while Carter played the piano next to me, maybe a bit with his feet (I told him not to!) And there you go a card that I am happy with using my favorite technique!

Life is pretty good over here lately.  Working on more wreaths since I figure if I am going to open up an etsy store I should have a decent inventory, no?  Also have to go to the other side of the city to get boxes for shipping!  :>  It's gotten cold here once again.  Been hearing a lot of people complain about wanting winter to end.  I don't.  I enjoy the excuse to stay home.  I enjoy the less busy life I lead in the winter.  I love being home making stuff and baking and cooking!  And all that without feeling guilty that it's beautiful outside and I should be out and about with the kids!  :>  Well I am off to feed the family and kneed some dough!
