I am officially in my 2nd trimester now... 14 weeks along. Sometime in June we will be able to find out what this baby is, I am so excited to know!
The kids are done school the last week of May and it will be wonderful to have them home! I am planning on doing a few crafting projects with them and will post pics as we get them done.
As for today... It is the day I usually post my Wild Card, I didn't get it done yet for this week because I ended up in the ER on Wed night and didn't get home til after midnight the next day.... I am just not use to staying up that late! Since I've been pregnant I've been in bed by 8-9pm most nights! So I'm going to try to get it done today if possible but we will see. Still have to do all the things I missed Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Lastly, I want to say thank you to my faithful followers on this blog. I know I am not posting like I was but I hope to get back to that starting in June!

Wild Card #39 ~ the Gift Card
Today we have #39 in our series! (only 11 to go!) I decided that I wanted to make something usefull for me and made a graduation card for my oldest nephew who will graduate from highschool in 3 weeks!! (I feel so old!! ) I actually cried at his 17th birthday because I remember when he was little and babysitting him. I can't believe he is all grown up now!! He is at least 6'6 and has to bend in half to give me a kiss now!! LOL!!
Ok here is the card... burgandy is the school color!
I used two stamps. The cap is stamped then cut out and I used dimensionals to pop it.
'Thanks for looking & for all your comments!!

Wild Card #38 - #1 card
It is teacher's appreciation week so I thought I would make the kid's teachers a card.... thinking about getting some flowers as well to bring them after school today...
Here is my card:
I tried to use some papers that are 'school' themed. I didn't make the envelope since it will fit in a standard A2 one, and I plan on giving it to someone specific already.

Wild Card #37 - The Pumpkin
Can you believe we are on #37 already? I think this might have been one of the cuts I bought this cart for! LOL! That said we really don't do 'spooky Halloween' at my house. I always try to keep in mind how I will use the cards I am making in the future (sometimes I make them with a specific use) so I thought 'Harvest' since I would be more likely to use that.
Did I mention I LOVE pumpkins? I must own about 20 pumpkin stamps!!! LOL!
Ok here is my card:
I used Stampin Up cardstock.

Yardsale - Stampin Up Mother load!!
Ok I got yardsaling just about every Saturday from April to September.... and today I hit a good one!!! I missed out on some of the stuff because there was another lady snatching things practically out of my hand! I bet she was going to sell on ebay! She said the classic - oh this is for a friend bit and you know that usually means ... EBAY! So I bought 62 sets of stampin up stamps....
This bin of assorted beads, buttons and tons of metal tags ( I have no idea what to do with them!)
A few stacks of pattern paper and packaged paper (I think I bought 4 whisper whites, one natural and like 5 others)

Then the MOTHERLOAD of paper!!!
I have no idea how many sheets there are but it is a lot and many are normal everyday colors!!! I also got a full bin of precut card making supplies (this lady was a demonstrator) so all you have to do is assemble the cards! How easy!!

I was so excited... I have to say I went twice to this yardsale because she had a full bin of stamp pads & reinkers and for some reason I didn't buy them up the 1st time...went home and knew I had to go back. Of course the ebay lady was snatching them up too... who knows what else she got because she was buying like crazy!
I still did good. So most of my NSD is going to be organizing...now.
Oh I didn't mention the price I paid.... $100 even!!!! I think it was WELL worth it!!
