Girls just wanna have fun

Hello friends!  Well, I've been in a stamping slump this week - I just can't find the motivation to work on cards when there is crappy daytime TV to watch, or kids to take to the park for the first time all winter, or that dreaded pile of laundry.  When the kids go down for the night, all I want to do is fall on the sofa and crash!  Come on motivation!!

So, since I don't have anything new for you today, I'll post something a little old - it's one of my Dirty Dozen cards from January and the challenge was to be totally feminine in the classic style of Audrey Hepburn.  This was one of my favorite cards from that month. 

I'll be back with new items soon!  I promise!
Karen

    I hear you, Karen. My kids get a two week Spring Break and with my little guy having more energy than the rest of the family combined, we have to get out and about or we pay dearly LOL! I have your wonderful sketch sitting on my desk ready to go but no time so far...ugh! Loved this little black dress when I saw it in the Fan Club and loving it all over again now :D

    What a great LBD (little black dress). The colour combo is so classic as is the dress. It put me in mind of another blog that I watch call the Uniform Project - http://www.theuniformproject.com/ in which an LBD is being worn each day for a year to raise money for Akanksha Foundation and school uniforms in India. A great project.
