PPC-CC #38

Hello Bloggers!
Sorry for the lack of blogging lately...as usual, things are hectic here at the Sajkowicz house and with the coming of 'Baby Sajk', I really DON'T have ANY energy or motivation to do anything. I'm approaching 38 weeks pregnant and I couldn't be more exhausted and uncomfortable, but yet extremely excited and ready to meet my baby boy! :) So my truest apologies for not being so active in the blogging world...I'm hoping things will get better once the baby comes and I have some time off from work, but I suppose we shall see. I've been told that I won't have any more time for myself, but I WANT to make time for myself to get crafty, even if it is only an hour a day...who knows though! Any advice how to balance my time is always welcome! :)

Anyway, here is this weeks color combo from PPC...

And my Card Creation:

----------------------------------------------------------

Card Size: 5-1/2 x 4-1/4
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.
Stamps: Tags til Christmas
Paper: Baja Breeze, Concord Crush, Bravo Burgandy, Very Vanilla
Ink: Concord Crush
Tools: Ornament Punch, Big Shot, Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder, Very Vanilla Embossing Powder, Heat Embossing Gun, 3D-Dimensionals

Please take some time to hop on over to the other PPC Creators' blogs then get crafty and create something with these beautiful colors! Make sure you link your project on the PPC Challenge site. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Yes, I am alive...and PPC-CC #34

Hello Blogging Friends!

So sorry for the lack of posting lately! Things have been hectic here at the Sajkowicz house with the coming of our lil guy in 6 weeks or so! Ahhh...can't believe it has gone by so fast! We've been super busy preparing for him...getting his crib built, organizing all of his new things, etc. So with all of this, my crafting has been put on the back burner...But I didn't forget about our weekly color combo challenge at PPC!

Here is this week's combo #34:

I haven't had the chance to get crafty yet with it and I'm really hoping I have the time too this week, but I still want to encourage you to head on over to check it out and participate! The PPC Creators Design Team and October Guest Designer sure have some great inspiration to share, too! Click here to go now!

I also hope to have my 12 Weeks of Halloween posts caught up this week, as well, so be on the look out for those! :)
