I had been so busy with my mom, then my dad, that I was not able to go on the annual Christmas Card making weekend with my card making girls, for the past two years. Well, I was able to go this year.
Oh my, good thing I went. These girls were going a bit crazy. They needed some reigning in! {look at me act like I don't fit in!} Just what I needed three days away, some card making, some good food, some good friends, some shopping, oh okay, we day drank one day - again, reigning them in!
We go to the beach each year. The rental we used prior was sold, so we have a new place to dwell. It was awesome! We rented a lake house at the beach. I know! The best of both worlds, lake and beach. The weekend was in October and a little questionable for weather. Lucky us, it was perfect out!!!

I still have a lot of work to do!!!! |
Usually, I finish my cards during the weekend. If I had not chosen 5000 layers, I might have! Did I mention I have 5 layers on the interior too? Nuts!!! Everything is still in the box that I brought it home in. Aaaahhhh!
I used a Whipper Snapper image that my nice friend Barb sent me to use a few years ago. It was a fun image. I did a use what'cha got with the exception of the rhinestones and the ribbon, as I did not have enough of either. Yay! There are 50 of these little 'little gems' {insert eye roll} for a total of 700 layers. Nuts!!!
Okay, I have to get going on these. I cannot wait to see all of the cards this year. Post what you have. I wanna see. Looking forward to it!
