Still Here

yup, still here, just not making cards these days. i miss being creative, but have to prioritize:) in the last couple of months, i spent some time in hospital due to a blood clot from the c-section and then my mom was here for 5 weeks, which just flew by. the weather was awesome, we did a lot of walking, sightseeing, coffees and pastries at outdoor cafe's and visiting relatives. school has started for the semester too. here are some pics of the little muffin; she's a very happy, easy baby:

Shabby & Vintage Style Seeds

a quick post today... i started this card before the baby arrived, and wanted to get it into moxie fab world's shabby and vintage style challenge before the deadline :)

She's Here!

our beautiful baby girl arrived, almost 2 weeks early. we are at home now and enjoying her very much.

Thank You Clean & Graphic Style

over at moxie fab world, it's card style week, featuring different card styles (all of which i'm going to try to do). this is my card for the clean and graphic style, which is a style i love!!week 3 of heat wave ... yes, i realize that the weather is all i complain talk about these days. but my due date is two weeks away, and it's just hot, sitting and waiting. moms, you know what i'm talking 'bout :)

i did manage to meet up with some friends from school on the weekend at starbucks. it's the first starbucks to open in budapest. while i don't like the idea of having one on every corner in any city, it is nice to order a tall iced decaf latte with non-fat milk without getting a strange look :) budapest has acquired quite a coffee culture in the past few years, lots of places with the comfy chairs and sofas to hang out in.

Make a Wish Squares

loved the sketch at card patterns this week! here's my card: the paper's basic grey, which took 2 months to arrive from vancouver!! note to online retailers: ask how customers want their orders shipped, don't assume everyone wants the cheapest method :). i thought it would be sent airmail, not ground so good thing i didn't order it for anything specific.

the crochet flower i made myself. i added a srm sticker to the little frame.

i'm off to clean up my craft table! i enjoy that part almost as much as making stuff ... anyone else like that?

Enjoy the Journey

the winner of this week's challenge at 2 sketches 4 you will be given a spot on the design team starting in august! very exciting!!i made this card for a friend in miami. we met years ago while both traveling in croatia and have stayed in touch since. she loves traveling and has been all over the world. the paper, which has names of cities printed on it, and which i've been saving for ever, is packaging from a clothing store bag. everything else is from various kits. i printed the sentiment on light yellow.

thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your day!

Good Marriage Wall Hanging

i made another wall hanging for the bride and groom whose wedding i attended this weekend in romania. it was very similar to a canadian wedding in most ways. dinner was served over many hours (from appetizers to the cake at the end) and the main difference was that, due to the groom's families' religion, there was no dancing or drinking. but they had some entertaining games.

the church:the reception: i was a bit nervous as i didn't want to deliver in romania :), but everything was fine. we only stayed one night, and drove around the area a bit before coming back.

the heat wave continues here, we are into week 2 of temps in the upper 30's.
