Monday Monday

I woke up today with a case of the Mondays. I feel like Im stuck in some bad comic where a frazzled woman sits at her desk all squinty eyed holding a massive cup of coffee. I honestly didnt think that was possible to get the Mondays since I'm a stay at home mom and my kidlet is still in diapers. Hell there are many days where I swear I have to THINK about what day it actually is. .....

Anyway.... here I am... in the Monday zone. My kid is cranky. I am cranky. Im crampy. Im dressed.... but that just involved getting out of my pretty nightie and into yoga pants and a tank top so it almost doesnt count. Aubrey is wearing pants and no shirt (she has taken it off 4 times and I have finally given up trying to put it back on) All she wants to do is nurse nurse nurse. I just want to go crawl back into bed and sleep til tuesday..... but i cant... too much to do. The most I can hope for is Aubrey taking a long nap so i can have some peace and play with paper.

Is it nap time yet?

Ugh!

At least I was able to get my crop on this weekend. Thanks to the lovely Zarah I checked out a My Scrapbook Nook. They had a wild crop going on this past weekend and I was able to create 5 layouts and a card for challenges! Here are a few of them

For the random placement challenge.... where you glue and you go and no moving stuffs. I used Webster's Pages Lullaby Lane

For the doodling challenge...  for this I used Sassafras AppleJack

for the sketch challenge using October Afternoon Modern Homemaker

Obviously I had a thing for pink and kraft this weekend :)

Hopefully my Mondays will go away soon. Im sure a little crafty time (and perhaps a Vicodin for the cramps) will make it all better. I hope you are having a better Monday than me.

Are you in shape?

Today the day that the new Some Odd Girl challenge goes live! This time its ALL about the shapes! You need to create a shaped card for a chance at the prize. Anything other than a square/rectangle will do just fine.

Here is my scalloppy card for the challenge using the darling Stroller Tia

Papers and most embellishments are from the May kit from Tidbitz in Time

Im also entering her into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly (anything goes and something round)
Tip Top Tuesday (open)
Cupcake Crafts (begins with C... circles)
Pollycraft (anything goes)
Aly's (shaped)
Ladybug Crafts (going dotty)
Craft your passion (anything goes)

Picking Flowers!

Are you ready for some spring? The May kit from Tidbitz in Time is just that. A happy vintage romp through the spring flowers! *swoon*

Check it out!

Its sooo pretty! Papers are a mix of Webster's Pages Spring Market and Jenni Bowlin. Embellies are Maya Road and some super cool unique finds. I *heart* this kit! I managed to make 4 layouts and 3 cards with it and I want to make more more more!

Here are the layouts... we'll visit the cards in a few days as some of them are still top secret til thursday :)
