I have been terribly sick this week. I am finally feeling better. I don't like to cave and take antibiotics, but this time around, I had no choice. (The Dr. prescribed THREE different kinds, too!) I wasn't able to be "Mommy" to my girls and that was HARD!! I had such pain in my throat, ears, neck and body. Imagine feeling like there are charlie horses ALL over your body.... pretty terrible, right? Thankfully, (I think) my girls understood. Unfortunately, Layla (who JUST got over strep) now has a sore throat AGAIN! Poor little girl....
Anyway, now you know what i have been up to this week and know why I haven't been in the gallery!
About my card:
Kim, thanks for a great challenge! My nephew, Gavin's birthday s right around the corner and I REALLY needed to make him a card! I always dread making a boy card, cause I am soo used to "girl-y, girl" cards! lol
I KNOW this card has a bow, but he's turning 1, so I thought it was OK to add that in? Honestly, now that I am looking at it again, is my card just too girl-y?? Oh well! If it IS, just let me know and I'll take it out of the challenge!
Hope you are all having a happy Thursday!

Oh and BTW, I have been quite obsessed with making these LOOOONG cards lately! They fit into a normal business size envelope which is: 4 1/8" x 9 1/2"
I just realized this card matches the Fan Club DIRTY DOZEN theme this month: "Punches and die cuts and shapes - oh my!" So I decided to add this into that gallery!~

I have never met a boy who doesn't love a bug! This is so cute! Glad you are on the mend - egads, charlie horses are bad enough in the leg, other parts of the body sounds awful.

This is precious Jenna, and not too girley-girl at ALL!!! It would work for either for most people, but for you and I, it wouldn't WORK for a girl, right??? ;) Adorable little boy card!~
