Getting Back With the Program

Wow, I feel like I've been gone forever!! I have been so tired lately. I guess the last stage of pregnancy is hitting me hard. This baby boy cub is busy and we anticipate his arrival in the coming weeks-unles he decides to arrive early...which is fine by me!
I have not crafted in so long. My nesting has taken over in the last few weeks and I have become an organizing and cleaning machine. Needless to say after a day of cleaning and organizing this Mama Bear is exhausted! So, much for busy crafting hands after a day of cleaning like mad. I must look like a wild woman to my husband when I get going on a project. I feel like after our girl cubs birthday I settled into a rhythm of work, nest, rest. And a major joy for me...crafting has taken the back burner! What in the world? How is that possible? Pregnancy did it! And the excitement of the soon arrival of our little boy cub. But today I set aside an hour...which turned into an hour and a half of crafting a card. ONE CARD took an hour and a half. One moment I sat down and had an idea in my mind the next I looked up and realized two things one my card was pretty cool and second it took an hour and a half to make one card!! I guess that's my cue to get back into my crafting rhythm. Especially, since I am planning on doing another class toward the end of September. Like the title of this post it's time to Get With The Program.
Here's my hour and a half card...haha.

And the inside:

This one took a while because I stamped the flowers then colored them in with Stampin Up Markers and the final step was cutting the flowers out. I enjoyed making this card. I used some new Designer Series Paper that I just ordered called Gold Soiree- which I have to admit I am in love with this double sided paper. I used the stamp sets Work of Art and Bloom with Hope. These stamp sets are great and leave you open to create different cards using the same set. Oh, the possibilities.
Well, this Mama Bear is tuckered out! Hey, I just spent an hour and a half on one card! haha. I must admit it was fun crafting again. I hope to post again this week...and make another card. Maybe this one will only take an hour.
Love and Blessings
Mama Bear out!
