I'll give you a bit of an update as to what I've been doing. We've been so busy with the new house. You know how it is when you decide to paint... then you need to replace baseboards and while we are at it, we might as well upgrade the flooring. Sheesh... every weekend after work we zip off to the new place, work like fools all weekend so we can get back to another work week at home. On the upside, we've finished painting the main floor, the baseboards are on and we will be putting in new kitchen cabinets in a couple weeks. It is a good thing there is no rush because we have all summer to get this done.
Anyway, back to my quickie card. I used Taylored Expressions Party Grumplings for this one. I love that set. It's perfect for quick cards, especially guy cards and I like the sarcastic humour of the sentiments.
I hope to get by to visit some blogs this weekend. I have been taking quick little peeks at some of your pages and the plan is to pop back this weekend.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good week!

That sounds one busy life - I have family who have been doing that the past month or so - they move into the 'new' place this weekend amid paint and plaster and general chaos!
Your card is wonderful Marilyn - love the grumpling, and I feel a bit like that about birthdays now :-)

Wow, you must be exhausted! Don't make any rash decisions about your card stuff. When everything is finally finished and you have some spare time again you might want to start your cards again. Hang on in there.
Your card is hilarious and has made me smile, a great way to start my day! Debra x
Oh wow! You have been busy! And you're considering stopping making??? NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Don't do it!! But seriously - I can see how it must be tempting when you've broken the addiction for a while...

It's a fantastic card, my friend! You haven't lost your mojo at all...it's just hiding under all the hard work and exhaustion! It will be waiting for you when you've got some creative time! :o)
Oh, I know what it's like when the Mojo disappears Marilyn, and it takes a while to get back to the crafting. You have obviously found your Mr Mojo now, judging by this brilliant card - it's perfect for a male! I'm sure your Son-in-Law will love it!
Hope you are well, and enjoying the new house. Sounds like you are very busy!

Hi Marylin,
your card is great! the sparkling red Balloon is the highlight for me:)
life is so busy, I feel it often too, and time runs,
but if you have done it and it is finished you can be proud on your work. It's a much more better feeling, to have done it on your own.
then its fun but now its hard.
yes you can!
