SC111 - Easter Wishes

Why can't I sleep? I hate colds. They seriously suck! Both my kids have a cold right now as do I. The kids are coughing and so I worry, so I can't sleep right now. I am just sitting here, nose drippy, and listening to them cough while I stamp. I gave them medicine already, but it does not seem to be helping. *sad*

SO, to pass the time, I decided to be a sketch challenge stalker and get my card in real nice and early today! This card uses a set called "Bunny Hugs" by Stampin' Up! It is in the Spring Mini catalog. I absolutely fell in love with this little guy and just had to get this set. I watercolor glazed the eggs and ears and noses. By this, I mean, I colored with my watercolor wonder crayons and then I used my gelly roll glaze pen to blend the color. The aforementioned parts are shiny like they are embossed, in real life. I paper pierced the sides and then decided it would look cool with brads, so I threw in a brad every other hole and I love how that works. On the right side, it is pierced just the same as the left, even though you cannot really see it right. The little pom pom tails were an afterthought, but I think they work! This is the first time I have done the sketch challenge in a long time and I had lots of fun!!!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

You can post your guess as a comment to this post and then I will do a drawing of every...
