Woo Hoo I did it....

well for one day at least LOL My goal this week is to make the cards for the 365 Cards blog on the actual day they're posted... one down six to go :) The award for this great feat goes to Mr. Coby who is actually.... wait for it.... SLEEPING :) Who knew he could do that at night like a reasonable person? So Sunday's challenge was this fabulous sketch by Pam.

I just love it! I flipped it on it's side and created this sunshiny card:

I had these scraps left over from a layout I recently did and I just can't get enough of the rainbow paper :)

Ok so here's my new love.... Ott Light. Are you kidding me WHERE has this thing been all my life????? So I've been thinking about trying one for awhile and we ventured to the craft store today and there was a 40% off coupon so I figured eh what the heck. I bought THIS guy.

and oh my gosh it's awesome. It really is like real sunlight in my living room! Usually the only time I get to take pics is way late at night.... and really let's face it even during the day I have no natural light 99% of the time. "Great" northwest my arse. I guess I could save up all my layouts and photograph them every six and a half weeks when we have ONE day of sun. Anywho.... the above pics were taken in my family room. Lex and I were watching a show and Coby is actually sleeping a marathon in his swing. So the overhead light is off.... it was literally darn near pitch black but for the TV. Unbelievable how much better the pics are under this lamp :) YAY lamp :)
