Happy Memorial Day

I hope you were able to read this post that I put on my blog a couple of days ago. It's nice to know why we celebrate this holiday, not just consider it an extra day to shop the sales.

Thanks for bearing with my blog dysfunction. I still can't believe I lost all of my great links on the side! I hope that I got all/most of them. Let me know if your link is missing, and even better, if you know of any shopping links I forgot! ;)

Below are my two cards for this weeks CPS challenge. You can see CPS #66 here. To the right is the sketch for you to see. I have never made a circle card, and it was a little difficult for me in that it was harder to get the card to feel balanced because there weren't any corners to use as a guide. I think the cards turned out cute - nothing spectacular. The dragonfly one I made for one of my 5-year old's friends who is also turning five. It's for a boy, but she absolutely insisted that the wings sparkle. I guess real dragonflies wings are kind of iridescent sometimes, so hopefully that doesn't make it seem girly to the little man! :)
