TGIF!! Today's posting is a first for me! I'm participating in 2 Sketches 4 You challenge this week. I love challenges, but sketches are a real challenge for me. I stared at this card forever and asked Mac about it about 5 times. I'm sure he was sick of it! He did help a bit because I moved the twine down just a tad and it made the layout look a little better (to me, at least)!
So, while I was on my way to pick up Macwell (Mac's nickname because people tell him he looks like Maxwell, the singer) and was a bit early, soooooo I stopped at one of my LSS to waste some time! I picked up a few goodies you see used here, like the glitter paper and that felt sticker! I got a few other things too. I may do a video of it, but you all may think that's boring now! Who cares what I buy, right?! Well, I ended up still being early because I had to wait in the cell phone area. So happy Mac is back...big sigh! We talked and talked and talked and talked. Boy, he can talk! Tomorrow is his b-day...OMG I forgot to do a card...seriously as I am typing this it hit me that I didn't make one. I sure hope I have time to sneak one in tomorrow night! Anyway, I was saying make sure to check back tomorrow for a special posting - but of what without a card, silly! I'll do one - I have to because he'll be expecting it that's for sure!
I hope you have a great weekend! I'm sure we'll be doing something worthy for the birthday boy...I mean man! :) Thanks for visiting!

Simply gorgeous! LOL, I think I have ohhhhh 300 cards in my stash, and yet, I'm always scrambling around at the last minute trying to find something for my hubby. Haha!
pretty!
a circle on the face of a card can be a challenge for me. I love what you did here.
This is a great card, Miss Ashley. I love that you used eyelets -- don't see those much and I know I rarely use them.
LOL @ you don't have a card made for your husband's birthday. It's like the shoemaker's kids going barefoot - - how can you not have a handmade card for the occasion!?
I love the new goodies videos -- bring it!
Wowzers gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Beautiful, I love that woolie. I think you should make a video, I love seeing what other people pick up!
sooooooo pretty! love this so much!
This is so cute. I love the glitter paper with the twine.
Oh and I really like your shopping videos!
GREAT colors! Indian Summer makes me MELT... lol... no pun intended. SO glad you're playing along with 2S4Y!!! And YES, it will be a challenge, but you may surprise yourself! :-)
happy friday!! yipeee!! i have a ton of glitter paper that i need to use thanks for the idea :)
Awesome card..need to join challenges again i havent made cards in a long time. my husband didnt even get one from me hahah i sang to him though which isnt much coming from a tone deaf karaoke loving girl.
happy birthday macwell...you're right he does sorta look like him. i will have to greet him on his blog. can you tell him to post. i havent seen anything on my reader lately.
take care!!!
So pretty! I love the colors and the felt tree! My daughter's name is Autumn, so I am always drawn to cards with that name on it (and of course, with Winter on it)! :) I think you have a Winner on your hands here!
I love this card, but I know how you feel when it doesn't feel right to you. I love fall, and fall colors. This is just a great card. I also find myself without cards for important birthdays or other occasions. Seems a tad ironic that us cardmakers can get caught up in other things and nearly miss important occasions. At any rate, I'm sure you will come up with something amazing for Mac, and I hope you two have a great weekend celebrating his birthday.
This is so cute Ashley! I always forget to make cards for my hubby. Why is that?? It's not like we don't make cards daily. LOL
BRILLIANT!
I love it! That paper is SO pretty!! Thanks for the encouragement about the cards I had accepted. It really meant a lot to me to know I wasn't the only one! Thankfully I already heard back so now I have to get them in the mail and hope they arrive well. This is totally nerve wracking for the perfectionist in me!!
Ashley, another beautiful card - love it! Makes me want to go and put a comfy woolie jumper on!
This is stunning work Ashley! Happy Birthday to Mac too! :D Thanks for playing at 2S4Y!

You should recognize the football brads. They were perfect! (But, unfortunately, the game was far from it.) Thanks again!
