Hello there...

Good morning!

Mmmm... a day off... there is a lot on my home 'to-do' list so it is nice having some time to focus on them. Hopefully I can get everything done quickly so that I can play a bit as well. ;)

Anywho, the card that I made for today was totally just for fun. Geeky Mae has been printed off and sitting on my desk for awhile and when I saw the colors in this paper they looked very geek chic to me so I paired the two up. The color scheme wasn't the only thing that I liked with Mae, considering she is supposed to be kinda geeky and nerdy, I also liked that the print is dictionary text. It's like this little Mae has been busy studying and taking notes with her tabs and paperclip in place. Oh, and I couldn't help myself... that blank tab needed something on it and that funny smiley stamp seemed to be a good fit. I can totally see Mae using that smiley when she writes an email or something. ☻

Okey dokey, I hope you have a wonderfully crafty Sunday my friends. See ya in 24!

Mae looks fabulous in those colours and with that background. Love the fun tab, too!
I'm trying to get a little work done today, but I had a very crafty Saturday.

I love it when you do SOGs and I am so glad I already have this one because you have totally inspired me to pull her out! The way you did the glasses is so amazing and so realistic and this chevron background is perfect!
