Finding a Rhythm

Hope you had a great weekend! We certainly did...a trip to Mt. Rainier yesterday and then just hanging around the house today. Grady found a lady bug in the back yard and thought she'd like to "hang out inside" for a while.

Since I really started doing this at the end of January, I've noticed it usually takes me A LONG TIME to get a card finished. Its frustrating (isn't it?)! I know getting a project done quickly sometimes isn't always the goal but it seems like I should be able to finish a card in an afternoon. But, its at times where I'm lagging that I find my work self telling my hobby self to pick up the pace.

Guess what? Today I did!

I think I sat down around 2:30 and by 4:00, I had my card done. Yay for me! And here she is...

Another Cr84fn challenge (I like this color challenge blog ALOT!)

I love this paper from Making Memories - a new line called Dilly Dally. Its so fresh and cute. I got a few of the accessories too but I didn't end up using them on this project.

I used a journaling label for the sentiment. I have a bit of an addition to these little labels although I don't scrapbook so I have stacks of them waiting to be used. Thanks to Betsy Veldman (who uses journaling tags from time to time on her cards), I tried it on this card and it turned out perfectly!

I'm excited to get more details from Paper Crafts Magazine about their Gallery Idol - deets tomorrow so keep your eyes and ears peeled!

Have a great week!
