Thanks a ton!

Good morning friends! No, I haven't run away or stopped blogging! I have just had to put blogging on the back burner for a little while. Between work, Origami Owl, and re-doing the yearbook for my PEO Chapter (in Publisher...I had no idea Publisher was such a friendly program!) I just haven't had the time to craft or to post anything but here I am today to show you a card I made with the fun Oh, Whale Stamp Set and Sunshine & Sprinkle DSP. 
I used a sketch from the Fab Friday challenge blog.  (Gosh it has been a long time since I linked up to a challenge!) It is a pretty straight forward use of the sketch but I just love this card and the fun whale.  I immediately liked the Oh, Whale set in the Spring Catalog but for some reason decided not to get it but my Inking Everything team sisters just have been making the cutest things with it so I had to jump on board and I'm glad I did because I loved using it!  I also used one of the framelits from the Apothecary Framelits set. 

So, that PEO yearbook I told you about.  Yeah, it was a 42 page total redo of the yearbook.  I could copy and paste a lot of it from the old yearbook in Word but I had to edit the font size, margins, yeah...you get the idea.  Then just when I thought I was done I went back in to look at something and noticed that I had the page size wrong for some reason.  That means I had to change the page size and go back to redo the pages again...that took an addition 3 hours last night.  Ugh!  It will be edited by three more people so hopefully I haven't made too many more mistakes!  Then it will be off to be printed and ready to hand out to my PEO sisters at the end of the month.  Wondering what PEO is?  Check it out HERE.

Remember, that while I no longer have a SU! website for you to directly order from I can still order for you so let me know if there is anything you'd like!
