playing around

So, I found out this week that I have been randomly selected by my professional college to undergo a professional audit. Groan. Whenever something potentially stressful comes up that I can't immediately deal with, I try to push it to the back of my mind until a more appropriate time. With the kids around and daily life, I can't start figuring out all my professional development paperwork etc. I will carve out a chunk of time...LATER. As a escapism strategy, my mind and hands start wanting to craft.

This is just a couple of things I was playing around with this afternoon. I felt the sweet scoops card that I made a while ago needed a co-ordinating envelope. I made it using the builder wheel.

The other card came as a result of some scrapbooking I was doing. I used my big shot to roll out a beautiful flower border 12" long from some melon mambo dsp. (who's with me when I say that the big shot is one of the best crafting tools EVER!) It was so beautiful I couldn't resist rolling out another one. I didn't know what I was going to use it for but it seemed right to cut it in half and mount one on a piece of chocolate chip cardstock. I then used the new Favourite Thoughts set from the summer mini (I LOVE the sentiments in this set...every woman can enjoy them) and then ta dah...a card materialized.

Okay, escapsim commerical over...I've gotta go make dinner now. :-)
