When I sat down to make the card, I had no creative thoughts, no ideas, nothing. Then I remembered the Sunday Scrappin' challenge to use an embellishment(s) that I've had but haven't used before. So I scratched through everything and found these super cute lady bugs. I'm not sure if they are technically embellishments. Even if they aren't, they helped prompt a cute birthday card for my mom. So thanks for the challenge. It was a great help!
I went to Michael's and Hobby Lobby and managed to catch some pretty good sales. I restrained myself though. If I didn't I'd have to declare bankruptcy. I got some journals at Hobby Lobby for $2 each. They're already pretty cute but I may add some bling. They're for my girls at church. I try to encourage them to keep prayer journals or to use them during their quiet time. At Michael's, their albums were 30% off, so I picked out a real pretty 12x12 I'm going to use for a friend at church (see my ToDo's below). They also had the punches 40% off, so I picked up a square punch. I've had to borrow a friend's punch when I need a square, or cut it down the hard way. I spent about $35 for everything, so I think I did pretty good.
This week's ToDos: I will be going to my craft club this coming Saturday. We're there from 2 until midnight (or until the last person decides to go home). Hopefully, I'll be able to get a lot done. I'm going to start on a scrapbook for a lady at church who has helped me with my God's Girls group. (Here's an older post about them and a project I was working on.) I've got most of the pictures ready, just a few from the past month or two to get printed. So I'll be deciding on picture order and starting on layouts. I can't wait.
Pop on over to Sunday Scrappin' to see what others are up to!
Thanks for reading.

On my To Do list for last week I had listed to mail cards out and I never got around to it, so don't feel bad. LOL! Your card is cute! Sounds like you got alot of goodies for a decent price. I mean it's easy to spend just $35 on an album but you got an album and a bunch of other great things.
Pretty work. Sounds like you got some great deals, too. I didn't scrap this week, but I'm having fun visiting everyone's SS posts. Have a good week.
Love the card!!
Your poor mum, I hope she isn't in pain and she has a speedy recovery.
That is a gorgoeus card Kara Joy.
I hope you get all your goals achieved this week and have a wonderful week.
