General Check-in

What I am making: lots of cards and maybe a mini about all the places I have visited

What I am worried about: my health/Crohn's & sinus issues :(

What I have planned: I am going to a crop in July and Jojo is coming to visit us for Memorial Day Weekend!

What I am watching: The Killing (so good!), The Good Wife (finally took Lucinda's advice and started watching this), The Wire (on HBO GO)

What I am into: Obsessed with Taco Casa, my recent discovery!  So so yummy for fast food.

What I am thinking about: Still learning about Texas, both good and bad.  There are a lot of things I really like about Texas (the people, the open land, the cost of living) but I struggle with some things (the highly conservative politics, the pro-life stance and what seems to be less acceptance of gays).

Sharing some cards

I have really been into card making in the last few months and realized it might be nice to share some on my blog.  One thing I recently did was to create a few of my own printables to use on my cards.  I made a 4x6 sheet of hearts that I then created in various color combos I had pinned.  I printed them onto everyday photo paper and then cut circles and clouds out of the paper.  The reason for using photo paper is because the colors are so rich and vibrant.  

By making my own printables, I was able to pull together colors that I didn't have in any one paper line.  I used the color combos of the hearts to then gather papers from various lines for my cards.  It was a great way to use up left over papers :)

I have also been into layering, as you can tell from these cards!

The two cards above were both inspired by this color combo I pinned:

The one above is MY FAV colors lately, but I also played with some other combos...

 

I will share more cards soon!  Thanks for looking :)
