Hey there, everyone! Sorry for the little bit of a break I took from my blog. I had a wedding fair to get ready for this past weekend, and it had been taking up most of my time. The wedding fair was definitely a success, and I had a lot of great compliments on my photography {and on my super cute booth. I will try to remember and share a photo of it once I get them uploaded!!}
Today I have two cards to share with you, both based on CPS Sketch #250. If you frequent my blog at all, you will know that I love both CAS and extremely layered cards. I have used the sketch to create both types of cards, and I hope to do this on my blog more often in the future!! For my first card, I used lots of fun papers, diecuts and embellishments...here is what I created!

...can't get any cuter than that!! So- happy Friday everyone! I can't believe it has almost been a week since I posted last! It has been a super busy week! Let me give you a little recap. Last Friday-Saturday we were in Great Falls at Casey's state track meet. It was cold and super rainy...and just pretty darn miserable. Casey took 6th place in the 300m hurdles, but struggled in the rest of his events. It was really cold, and he definitely couldn't keep his muscles warm. After the track meet on Saturday, we drove to Sheridan. A bunch of family was already there for Casey's graduation the next afternoon...so we chatted and had a great time. Casey graduated on Sunday afternoon!!! So proud of him!! Came home on Monday afternoon, and had a photo shoot that night. Tuesday I uploaded and started editing graduation photos, and did some Glitz cards that were needed. Wednesday I got the house ready for two girls that were going to be staying with us that night. They are here to serve as missions/interns to a church in Hungry Horse, but needed a place to stay for the evening. Yesterday I finished editing graduation photos and made the bazillion DVD's....with card making in there also! And today we leave for Sheridan/Butte to attend the Class C All-Star banquet tonight, and the football game tomorrow. So- my days have been packed lately!
But, I do have a couple cards to share with you today! First up is my card for CPS 169 this week. It was a pretty fun sketch this week...I loved the rainbow top! My rainbow actually comes from the banner cut in the Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge....who would have thought, huh? Love that!

(This is a little interjection...of course, I took this photo of my beautiful rose from Casey after the ceremony.)
Well all...I need to get going for now!! I hope that you have had a wonderful week, and have an even better weekend ahead of you! I will be watching the boy play some football on Saturday....so super excited about that! I don't have access to the field, but I still plan on taking photos. They might just be further away than I am used to! So- I will probably be sharing some more photos later next week! ♥♥♥
Until later,

...tee hee! No, I am not having one. Let's not get that rumor started! I just have a baby card to share with you today, and then some sweet images from a newborn shoot I did this week! So, let's get started!
First up is my card for sketch 163 at CPS this week. I had a heck of a time photographing this card for some reason! I did custom white balances, auto white balances, different angles...it just didn't want to be photographed very well. This was the best I could get it to look...and I am sticking with it!! See- even professional photographers struggle at times! Tee hee!
