(Scroll down for my Retro Sketches card....)
Today has been one of those days that is so productive, you have no idea where the energy came from. As I mentioned in my Retro Sketches post, I woke up ridiculously early. I typed up that post....and then the cleaning started. The kitchen....done.. Floors...done. Sliding glass doors...cleaned. Beds stripped. Then what do I next? I go to the gym. An hour of an amazing work out. Then home again....and some more cleaning. Where is this all coming from? I wouldn't normally share this kind of stuff but....these days are few and far between. And I must document all that I accomplished or I might forget. lol! With the kids playing with their cousins today, a quiet house had been a productive one.

So now I am stopping in to share my first stenciled card. If you are not taking the class...you should. So much great info in one place!
I loved Debby's video and card so much, I had to give her technique a try....and of course, CASE her card!

Instead of making the tag, I used a Lil Inkers square to cut the vellum and then heat embossed that amazingly gorgeous sentiment with white embossing powder.
Then I sewed it down. Yes. I sewed again. I may sew on every card ever now. Not really....don't hold me to that but right now it feels like I might. There is just something about that easily accessible sewing machine now. So handy!
Ok. I am off to switch the laundry. And maybe fold towels. Yay! I am thinking now that I sat down the motivation is wearing off. A nap maybe? :)
Have a great day!
