Hey, I'm Back!

I want to thank all of you who stayed with me, commenting on my blog posts when I haven't been able to reciprocate.  I know how sporadic I've been lately.  I have missed out on so many of your fabulous cards and all the news buzzing around the blogs.  Moving both of our parents is fairly complete.  Mom and I will have a winter project of going through about 30 large boxes of photos (yes THIRTY and LARGE)!  I also know that many of you are way busier than me and you still keep up consistently, so you probably think I'm just a big baby.  Well, me too, and maybe that is what influenced my card:
I looked back and CASEd one of my own cards for the current challenge over at AAA Cards where the challenge is to use words as the focal point.  I love this font called Recorda Script.  I cut it out using the Silhouette.  The panel was popped up with foam over a piece of dp from My Mind's Eye, My Girl.  The onsie stamp is an older one from Stampin' Up!, colored with Copics.  I made the hanger out of some wire and hung it on the word.
This card is joining in on the following challenges:

Thanks so much for coming over to visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Kara Lynne, the Big...

    Cute, cute card Kara Lynne! CAS and perfect!! And you are NOT being a big baby! Life can be tough and very busy at times, and you do the best you can with what you've got. My mom is 83 now and has gotten very demanding of my time this past year too, but I love her, so I drop everything when she calls and try to be there for her. And all those boxes of photos will bring back tons of great memories to warm you while the snow flies this winter! :0)

    Certain to be a winner TOO! Just love the retro feel and to hang the little onesie adds the smile factor. Having just spent the summer dealing with parents and health issues... I'm with you sista! Hugs.

    AAck! That tiny baby onesie is just too cute! Love the big scripted 'baby', too.
    Welcome back!
    And no, you're not a 'baby'...I often feel overwhelmed, that I just can't do it all. I still need my sleep at night! That's important! HOpe you're getting yours, too. :-)

    Love that fantastic cut with the little onesie! So cute, and going through boxes is such a chore, but good for you for getting it done!
