Sorry I've been gone for a while. I've been super busy! So I changed my background which I love! and decided to do an update that is 3 months long over due. The reason why I was so busy was I was going to school part time. The semester ended last week. I've been going to school straight since last april. I decided for the next semester I need to slow down to one class and then pick back up after that. I'm so close! I need to keep going. I almost feel like I've lost my momentum.

Besides doing homework, I've been making cards like crazy. I wish I could have done more. I think I have done a card or a crafty item every day since the semester let out. During school I think I did one once a week or less. Here is one I did yesterday. I haven't posted it on my other blog yet. I'm going to stretch myself and make a video of me doing a similar card as a tutorial to see if it is something I like. You can check it out on my other blog later today: http://www.tawnysdesigns.blogspot.com/ What do you think?

Let's see, what else have I been doing? Oh yeah I cut my hair. I had to because cassie kept pulling on it and it was making my head, neck, and back hurt. We went to Yellowstone. I went there when I was in my early teens and didn't remember much. We went camping up there. It was so much fun! Deven loved it! Cassie was just along for the ride.Oh man can you believe that she is 5 months? Time has just flown by! She is getting so big. Have I mentioned that we nicknamed her Sassy? Because that is how she is. If it's not her way, it's the highway. But she is so cute! And deven loves her. She thinks that he is fascinating. She wants so much to run after her brother and play with him. Deven wants this too. So much so that I have to watch him because he doesn't know how to play with her. Fun stuff huh? I need to get some new pictures of my growing family.

I almost forgot! my brothers came home from their missions!! It feels so unreal that they are home. I'm so proud of them because when they gave their talks on sunday I realized that they had grown up and became men.

Cards

I've had a side hobby for a couple of years. Card making! My husband Cory especially loved this when he found out that I do this. I don't know if he was impressed at the creativity or the money saving. But why blame him. That's why I started making cards, to save money. My cards looked like this one a lot. (my son helped by coloring the cake) I started getting more tools that would make my cards better. I haven't taken a picture of all of my cards. I know that I've made over 30.
These two Cory helped with. He really liked embossing a card. Some times when I'm in a crunch I have him do the embossing.



I made this one at a stampin up demo. Notice a theme yet? I mainly make birthday cards. I'm trying to expand my card making abilities.

Then for my birthday (Sept. 3) I got myself a CRICUT!! I've wanted one of these machines for a while. This is one of the cheaper machines. The bigger ones can fit a 12x12 or 12x24. This one is called a Personal Electronic Cutter and holds a 12x6 mat. I've used it quite a bit! I'm so glad that I got it.
Here are some of the cards i've made with it so far. I'm still trying to get better and I think I am.
