Ahead of the Game

So it seems that I have been behind in everything that I have done for the last 6 months. Oh yeah, I was at the beginning of my third pregnancy, but seeing some of the things that other bloggers are capable of, I have no excuses.

Take for instance why I am ahead of the game. I took an idea from a fabulous blogger - check out Controlling my Chaos - and made AG's valentine's cards with the help of my fabulous friend Monica. Valentine's Day is 11 days away, Ava Grace's party is on the 11th (8 days away) and I am done with her Valentine's. Sure, anyone could say that by just going to the store and buying the same old box of valentine cards. But, Not me!! Not this year!

We went to Ryan and Monica's for dinner last night and I told her I wanted her to help me with this project. After dinner, we snuck away to her computer and got right to work. Essentially, we were digital scrapbooking, but not for a book. We didn't quite finish last night so I went back this morning and thanks to her and one hour photo, they are done. Check'em out...













The first picture is the finished product in PhotoShop and the second is the printed (wallet-size) card with the sucker inserted. I punched holes with a handy scrapbooking tool that I have and it was perfect!

I hope Ava Grace is excited to give these to her friends. If not, at least I enjoyed making them and seeing them come to fruition.
