Scrapbook & Cards Today: You Are The Best

Hey everyone! I know I sort of, kind of, disappeared on you all. It's been a busy few weeks around these parts. In the last two weeks, I've send my fifteen year old back to high school, had two seven year olds go back to school, had a two and a half year old kiddo leave my daycare, started watching a new eight month old baby girl, and moved my almost eighteen year old into the college dorms. That last item deserves a post of it's own, but I'm not quite ready to type that up just yet.

I do have some things that I want to share, and I'm pretty sure I had mentioned sharing a certain project a month ago that I just let slip through the cracks. I'll be getting back to some more normal blogging later this week, but in the meantime I thought I would do a simple card share just to get something new up on this blog!

I created this card for the Summer issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today. I was asked to pick a card from the Spring issue, and then "lift" the design to create a new card. I found a card that fit my style perfectly, as this is a straightforward design (paper placement wise) that I use often.

I used some patterned paper from Bella Blvd, along with some Bo Bunny tone-on-tone dotted patterned paper. I actually started the card with the flower, as it was left over from THIS layout. It was on the desk, and fit the card design I was lifting, so I just went with it. I love when projects just fall together on their own.

Congrats on surviving moving your oldest to college! Having moved my oldest to college 4 years ago, then my middle to college 2 years ago and now my oldest (who went to college just an hour from here) to med school 2 weeks ago HALFWAY across the country I understand how gut-wrenching it is to move them out! Hang in there, eventually you'll get used to your "new normal" (how I call my life now) and you'll find things you enjoy but oh how hard it is. The worst is the first time you walk into their bedroom after they leave....
