Let it be said that when I do something, I do it wholeheartedly... For the last eight weeks, I have been buried under the five books of the ongoing epic series of A Song of Ice and Fire. Plowing through 4,500 pages in eight weeks have reduced me to a shadow of a scrapbooker emerging to create only when a deadline is looming! I am both happy and sad to say that the quest has come to an end finally tonight. I shall have free time again! Maybe I will finally clean the bathroom or something! The sad part is that now the long wait begins for the author to pen the next two books in the series. I think I will scrapbook while waiting the next few years for him to write, lol.
Meanwhile, I squeezed in making this card this past weekend. Gosh Doodlebug is just too cute to describe!! I used the "hello spring" collection. I also broke into the new Doodlebug stamps and ink pads!! Those stamped balloons are so colorful and matches perfectly with the cardstock border sticker! I should mention that I actually had the balloons cut using my Cameo. I had purchased the Make the Cut software a long time ago so I could trace an image and import it to cut. I did that with these balloons, while they are not perfect, it sure beats having to hand cut them! I hid the biggest imperfections behind the jewels I added :)
I have a few more close-up photos, tips and tricks that are on the Doodlebug's blog. Now it's time for me to head to the sack, without a book in hand :)

Glad you're back! what an adorable and sweet little card!
Great series - I just finished the last book too! Welcome back to the scrappy world...

I haven't picked up a book n about a month and I always read, but thats the problem...i don't DO anyhting else lol!!! But your card it so cute and I bet you miss scrapping!
congrats on finishing the series!! i think i have a crush on Jon Snow.
Wow, that is an amazing feat that you read so much lately (I think I will pick up reading once my card-making virus died--LOL)! Love your cute card!! You make everything looks so easy!
Well, it's good to have you back, Jing Jing! But I know what you mean about the books, and getting sucked into them. I go for long periods without reading at all, because I have the hardest time putting a book down once I start reading....and everything else falls apart. :)
Your card is adorable! Those balloons are just so happy and fun!
Ok... so I have no clue about that book series, but I personally have just finished Fifty Shades of Grey. Something tells me these are totally different in topic. LOL!
I can totally relate to becoming completely sidetracked & not creating though. I think that's a good thing... ;-)
