BAD BLOGGER OKIE! But here's a card

Yep I have been a bad blogger. I haven't posted since Wednesday and there really isn't a good excuse *okie isn't sure she really does excuses much anyway*, I just haven't felt like taking pictures, editing, writing, and posting.

I made this card I think last weekend, or it might have been before that. I can't really remember. My friend Nancy asked if I had a card for a boy who was into remote control cars. Of course she asks this and I tell  her "uh, no, don't have many boy cards" and then I ask when she needs it. And like most responses I get she said "oh tomorrow". I told her if I had time I would see what I could make. I was able to make one for her but it wasn't a very good one in my opinion *okie so hates working under pressure*.

When she came to get the card she said it was perfect. However I am not sure I believe her since she hasn't contacted me since then and I have no idea of the boy liked the card or thought it was the most stupid card he ever got in his life.

Either way I figured I would post the card for you guys to see.

I used Groovy Times for the car and Batman for the words. I also used the Cuttlebug Diamond Plate embossing folder for the bottom strip on the card mat. Like I said it is a pretty simple card but at least it was a car like what was requested. Oh and on the inside I printed "Hope you have a Winner of a birthday" and added some clipart checkered flags.

I didn't go to the Swarm this past weekend, had a pretty stressful week with work and personal life situations. I did however, work on the layouts this weekend and got them all done anyway and will be posting them throughout the week. I really like one or two of them.

  6. Knowing boys a bit, I'm sure he thought it was great, but if he is like my "boys" he was most interested in what might be inside that was green.

  8. Oh Okie you sound like you are in need of that swarm. But I know when you just are drained you just can't get out the door. I wish I was there I would take you for a nice long walk in nature. That always renews me. I hope this is a better week.
