exactly like that only different

going to five softball games in four days is pretty awesome. i love watching my girl and her team play. finding spots to take photos without looking through the fence makes me happy too. the downside to all this fun is that my house looks like a tornado went through. not kidding.

so with a three-day weekend i'd have plenty of time to get it totally clean, right? um, no. i did get the wash hung out, but other than that, i just did whatever i felt like. and it totally rocked!

• i finished reading The Glass Castle. it was amazing, and it's a memoir, which i like.
• i went for a run with Lexi - so glad the weather was cool.
• i re-organized my alphas and chipboard so i can see them easily.
• i played with inks and embossing - total thumbs up!

i have been following along with Jennifer McGuire's Thinking Inking series  and was inspired to try some of the techniques. i loved just playing around! i definitely recommend having a heat tool if you are impatient. ahem.

here are the cards i made:

they really are prettier IRL, but you get the idea! i used the same general design for each one but i love how they are all different. just like my little girl used to say, "i have one exactly like that only different" !
