I can't believe that Kyle, my oldest nephew, is 10!!! It seems like just yesterday that my mother called me and told me he had been born!! At the time, I was driving home from Arizona and I was in South Dakota when I got the call... I couldn't wait to get home and meet him. Kyle quickly became one of my favorite little people.. he is very smart and sweet, also very stubborn and bossy! I just love him! 
I had this piece of embossed Wild Wasabi lying around and thought it would be great for this week's Tuesday sketch by Mercy. Since I had already embossed, this care came together very quickly. I used Verve's Beautiful You set as well as last year's in colors. I made a bunch of cards tonight... plenty to post throughout the week, I hope!
This is a horrible picture taken w/ my phone... that takes really bad pictures!! My camera takes 3 pictures and then the batteries die... so please forgive the bad picture!!
My oldest nephew, Kyle, has a big birthday coming up... breaking into double digits!! Kyle has a spiral bound notebook of drawings and "other ideas" so I thought I would make him a special notebook. Drawing inspiration from these notebooks (BTW, LOVE Kerry's blog!! She has the cutest stuff!!) I used Cosmo Cricket paper and K&Company chipboard stickers, this took me no time to make. I covered the back w/ Cosmo Cricket paper, the coordinating robot piece. I had to buy this paper at AC Moore as I really don't have appropriate stuff for little boys. AND I have 5 nephews!! These chipboard stickers are super cute and make decorating very easy! A wave of exhausted just hit me and feel I'm rambling so must say good night!!

I started out with a great sketch... but it went downhill from there! This is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch from a couple weeks ago.
I love this color combination and I love the SU Cutie Pie paper. First, though, I had trouble cutting and cut the piece behind the sentiment at least three times and the other smaller panel had to be redone once. I have never mastered tying bows and I was SO frustrated trying to get this one right... finally I gave up and used this cheater knot!! So, then the card was done and assembled and I realized that the largest panel is SU Blua Bayou and the smaller are Baja Breeze. I thought about taking it apart but instead I think I will keep it in the "send to a good friend" pile;) I blame this on the fact that I wore myself out on the elliptical machine tonight!!!
