Well, you asked!!
This is a squashed pic of the card I made last night. I managed to make it while watching Inception (again, what an awesome movie), and I also managed to pay attention to all the movie details! I hope it wins movie of the year, and not only because Joseph Gordon Levitt is so hot, but because the Asian guy is, as well. :) No, but really, it was very entertaining, I highly recommend it. I must run it back to the Red Box machine very soon, otherwise that damn thing is going to rob me again. I love renting movies for $1, but when you forget to return it for a week, it's annoying. Anyway, back to the card... I used my glue gun for the little embellishments on the top and mastered the round things that I have had so much trouble with in the past. I guess it's all about that hot glue. Tonight, I'll keep going with the V-Day cards so that I can hustle at work and make enough for a down payment on a movie this weekend. That's a joke, but only sort of... I mean, the damn movies around here charge $14 per ticket and then $5 per soda and $10 for popcorn! It's highway robbery, and by the end of the day you feel like you've gotten it up the center divider. Not fun, not for me, even if I'm not paying. Valentine's Day falls on a Monday this year, so I plan on just making dinner at home, maybe movies during the weekend. I see V Day as another money-making, cheese ball "holiday" that is mainly for children and new couples... I mean, if you're in a great relationship, every day should be Valentine's Day, don't you think? If you're in a shitty one, well, who gives a fuck? I'm in the third category: I don't need a special day and chocolates for an opportunity to say, "I love you". Further, I don't need those things from somebody else to FEEL loved. No, all I need is a pat on the back once in awhile and the good sense to be lied to when I ask, "How was dinner?" :) Don't you dare tell me my enchiladas were anything less than a miracle... I don't wanna have to slap somebody (although, I've been feeling an itch to do so very recently). Any volunteers?
Have a nice day.

Good Effort, Chowder-Head!
These two cards were made last night especially for my co-worker Cindy. I guess I work a little better with a direction in mind, with an idea of who the card is for. I had these little foxes in mind for the birthday card all along, but to do a passable Hello Kitty? Yeah, well. I think they worked in the end, and I'm happy with the outcome. I'm concerned about the appearance of the glue, though... not happy about that. The "good glue" is super expensive, but I guess it's necessary here. The flash catches it a bit more, I think.
So, tonight I have to make some more Valentine's cards and unload them at work... I wish I could just take one day and make cards in my office where I have great light and I'm not half-dead sleepy like I am at the end of the day. Maybe I will next week. Now that the intern is doing much more and has the hang of things, I'm finally feeling some slack here. It got crazy for a minute. I will be getting one more client on my caseload, but that's IT. After our new electronic system gets going, things should get even more simple around here. It's been a tough year, but I'm better under pressure... :)

I'm being...
WATCHED!!!!! Woo-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhhhhh!
Moving on... I have things to do today, must get moving on the finishing touches of the baby shower that is this Saturday. Oooooh, and it's Valentine's Day this week, as someone reminded me... I wonder what I'll get! I plan on making little cards for my co-workers and to my immediate family as well. Here's what I did last night, and the night before:

Sew Happy Together!
I CASE'd a card from Denise January's site (stampwithsass.blogspot.com), because lately my creativity is tapped... don't you hate it when you hit a wall and get blocked? I am there... it's very frustrating, because it comes at a time when I feel like doing the most. So, there you have it, I'm a biter (sorry D!) Anyway, I've been neck deep in baby shower stuff, so I have tons of pastel colored paper and embellishments, I have to begin my Valentine's cards so I can get everyone covered. I plan on giving some away at work, and sending some to my friends' homes as well. This is a card-giving holiday, I need to get a move on. I hope today continues to stay sunny....
:)
