In the last 24 hours my little town in Central New Jersey has been in near panic mode. We had a mini crisis last evening, around 10 pm, when all the power went out on our block. At the time I was cranking out some cards for a few weekly challenges and my hubby was studying for his boating test. While most people might have thrown in the towel and just went to bed, my hubby pulled out our emergency power source-- an old car battery and Jimmy rigged a light source in our bedroom. I secretly call him MacGyver, secretly because he doesn't know who that is.
This morning everything was back to normal, so I thought I would take my little guy out for a walk to enjoy some beautiful weather. I love walking with him, obviously it's a great way for him to use up some of his energy, but it also gives me a chance to slow down and really focus on him. We stopped to look at all kinds of things along the way and even had a bit of adventure at the Library. While we were there picking out some books the fire alarms went off and the building was evacuated. It seemed to be some kind of glitch related to the blackout, but even still every fire company in town responded. We got to stand by while three firetrucks pulled up, sirens wailing and lights flashing, and about ten firemen streamed into the PL to make sure things were A-OK. My little guy was in heaven--what more could a 2 year old boy hope for, except to get a chance to sit in the fire truck, which didn't happen.
A few cards to share with you today; The first one is for Laura's sketch on the 2S4U Blog-- I really had fun making this card. I got to combine products from two of my favorite companies, Papertrey Ink and Basicgrey.
The next is based on a sketch from the Card Patterns blog; I used Making Memories Sabrina Paper and matching paper flowers. I also got a chance to use my new Martha Stewart border punches, a recent splurge of mine.
I hope you enjoy,
Tina
