A Sunny Sunday of Leisure...

sunday is such a lovely day of leisure, don't you agree? my hubby and i get up, make our coffee & tea (i've never liked coffee, tea's my thang...) and plop in front of our computers to hang out and surf, read emails, and whatever else we want. for me, i'm usually opening about 50 tabs in firefox to view the crafty blogs and sites i follow daily. it's not unusual for me to have about 10 tabs open at once - i flip back and forth oohing and aahing all the fab cards and ideas i see. it fills my head with inspiration to tackle whatever challenges i want to try!

today is no different - i opened up 365 Cards to check out the sketch since today is Super Sketchy Sunday, day 127. i was immediately inspired to pull out the citrus stack from DCWV. the colours are so bright and cheery, and really match my mood today. it's nice to wake up rarin' to go!

i made 2 cards for the sketch cuz i wanted to use so many of the papers - this cardstock stack is awe-sum! totally... take a peak over at DCWV! but DO come back now, you hear?!












i've included a closeup shot of the fab brad i used - it's big and awesome and fabric-covered! i love it so much i almost don't want to use them... that happens with so many of my more incredible embellisments. i buy them but can hardly bare to use them up. i'm sure most crafters are of the same mindset.

same goes for this card - these yummy metal ribbon slides i got from Making Memories are almost too good to use! i'm gonna have to hunt around for more cuz this was the last one in my stash. this closeup is to show you the depth of the blue wave paper i used here. i have had 1 sheet of it in my cardstock stash for literally years, and i have no idea where it came from. it just seemed to fit so well with the colours and patterns from the citrus stack!

so this has been pretty lengthy today - i'll leave you to get to your day after sharing my list of supplies! hang loose!
