BACK TO SCHOOL & A BAZZILL SWAP

I have a "use it or lose it" mentality with my craft room right now.  If I don't create, then I won't keep the room....it's as simple as that!  (if this doesn't get me going, then I don't deserve a craft room at all)  Thankfully, my three monkeys started school last week and I wanted find my crafting mojo.  Then strep throat reared it's ugly head and I've been in bed all last week.

 To add to the excitement - Friday, our new little dog Coco arrived.  (Thanks to my brother for driving her here from UT!  THANKS, JEAN-JACQUES!!!!!)  She needed/wanted lots of love and attention, so did Roscoe.  They have both been by my side all weekend!  This morning I was bound and determined to create my cards for the Bazzill Swap.

 It's very simple, but I was just happy to have finished them.  I used their Wayfarer paper.

 I used these two background papers (since I didn't want to go to the store for cardstock).

I'm so happy to have accomplished something today!

Now, I'm off to take my meds and hopefully wake to a better tomorrow!

$1 BIRTHDAY GIFT

 $1 frame from IKEA is basically all I needed to buy.  I asked Tony to design this for me (although it's not hard to find something similar on the internet)  He put it together and printed it out to fit the frame.

Next, I cut a piece of cardstock 4x6 for the other side.  Super easy and I love it!  I hope the birthday boy loved it too!
