It is sooo hot here 80 something today and it just feels unnatural. Everybody is lovin it I think but me. Too hot too fast. My lawn needs to be cut and the annuals are growing before I can mulch!! Anyhow since its this hot I left work and got a pedicure.... Such a treat!!! Open toed shoes tomorrow!! My friend recommended this place last summer that gives the BEST foot and leg massages EVER... They never rush and you leave feeling so relaxed.
No scrappin tonight. Everyone is scattered with things to do and it is giving me a chance to catch up on some of the laundry. Normally I am a big weekend laundry person but with this upcoming weekend being so busy tonight it is a bonus to get a little ahead.
In between loads I worked on some cuts for my bulletin board. I think last year or the year before I made this welcome spring bulletin board that I am recycling.. I laminated the pieces cause they were tons of work. Well I tonight I cut a few new little things to add to it to give it a fresh look. I used the Paisley Cart and Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cart. I used regular solid color paper for the big cuts.. .the bugs are cut at 3" and the frog at 3.5. For the smaller cuts instead of loading all those little pieces of paper I thought I will print and cut. Then once I started I added a few patterns as well. Stickles added to a few of the cuts.
YES I finished all my homework last night. Took a couple of hours but got all 5 chapters read highlighted and flagged :-)
This layout isn't complete. It still needs a little embellishing and around the letters cleaned up with the gum eraser but I wanted to put up a picture of my first cut on the silhouette. The red swirls are so thin it is amazing. It did take me a few tries to get it right cause I just play and go and read minimal directions. LOL The cut was from the silhouette store for 99 cents. I need to learn the features. I know how I will be spending my weekend now.
I made 6 of these last night. I think sweet treats font and mostly papertrey ink paper. Swiss dots cuddlebug. I also picked 4 birthday cards from my stash. I am donating all of them for a raffle at work. We raffle off things every Wednesday to help raise money for an outdoor space we want to create to honor our dear friend Linda that was killed by a drunk driver. 
So lucked out yesterday in NYC that we had no rain. (apparently we had rain at home) Busy day of workshops and a fun dinner in midtown with teacher friends. Isn't this tree pretty. It was in Riverside park which is right next to all the Columbia University buildings. 
This is my son's birthday card from me. I used the Imagine Yummy cartridge. The inside you see here is popped up but had more stuff added unique to him that are private that's why not a finished project picture on that.
