I've been such a lazy pig this weekend. Come to think of it, every weekend really. LOL!!! My body got so used to sleeping till noon during my vacation, and now that I'm back to work, I don't think it's fully recovered. I'm also not used to not being able to digiscrap every night. I guess I spoiled myself during my vacation, and now I have a serious case of digiscrapping withdrawal syndrome. LOL! To make matters worse, Tracy (my2boys) just came out with October's element challenge and an impromptu challenge for the admin team at RAKScraps, and Tania's color challenge for October is out too. I sooo want to do those challenges, but oh, where do I find the time!? *sigh*
I got a bit done today though. See, the sister of a friend has asked me to make birthday invites for her daughter's first birthday. Was quite pleased to be asked, really. Tickled pink, actually. LOL! I tried to start on it yesterday, but I don't know. I couldn't seem to get the creative side of my brain to work. I managed to make only one layout using Shabby Princess' Shabby Tea Party kit, but when I showed it to Mr. S, he just gave me a shrug and an ok. Crap. I thought I was in for another dry spell, but thanks to Ronna Penner, the juices are flowing.
I got Ronna's All Girl kit from Scrapbook-Elements, and it's such a pretty pretty kit. As soon as I downloaded it, I got to work immediately and produced 3 more samples. Since I didn't personally know these people that I'm making the invites for, I figure I just make several and let them choose what they like. I also showed them to Mr. S and it got me a nod of approval.
Here are the 4 samples I've made. If you notice some open spaces, I really left them there for the details of the birthday party. So what do you think?
Personally, I like the second invite. And isn't she such a cutesy patootsie???
On the homefront, my dear husband surprised me yet again last Friday night. I had just gotten home from work, and when I came in our room, I saw that he was chatting (YM) with some of his friends, and in one of his IE windows, he had my gallery at RAKScraps open. I was surprised, and so I asked him why my gallery was open. And my dear darling husband says "I showed my friends your work." Wow. I was floored. I was flabbergasted. I must've floated my way out of our room! LOL! In retrospect, I'm surprised he even knows the link to my gallery. And once again, I am reminded about why I married this wonderful man.
Ok, so it's back to digiscrapping for me. Hope your weekend is good!

what an honor! to have some ask you to do such a big milestone bday invite...I am so thrilled for you. I love the one with the color blocks, the denim down the side with the lace and the pink bow in the bottome left corner either 2 or three...depending if you are going down or up...if I were her, that is the one I would pick. great job on them all!
I hope my husband will do the same for me but I DOUBT IF IT WILL HAPPEN! LOL!
