Feelin' Crabby

Hey y'all, we are officially a House of Plague now, Ryan has a fever today so he'll be staying home with me.  I'm feeling better than I was on Monday, but still not 100%, so we're going to have a rot on the couch day.  Maybe I can talk him into watching The Princess Bride.  I like that idea.

The hubs called yesterday to check on me and at the time I was just sitting in my craft room doing nothing but listening to a podcast.  Eventually I mustered up the energy to work on something and I made this:


Lookit me, making good on my resolution to use patterned paper!  The starfish and the stripes are the two sides of one sheet, and my crab was die cut out of another.  The only stamping is the greeting.

Here's the Atlantic Hearts sketch that I used:


The greenery on the sketch made me think of that coral die cut in the Ocean Friends bundle so that's what I went with.  Plus I just love the bright colors in the DSP, even though my photo came out a bit dark...I need to see if I can find a better place to photograph my stuff, I don't think I have an OttLite anymore.  Maybe I'll check the light coming in the guest room window on the front side of the house.

Anyway, that's it for me today.  I might still get some crafty time if Ryan is resting or playing video games, we'll see.  In the meantime, stay healthy, y'all!
