Still Nothing from Immigration

So we are a couple of weeks past the five month mark and we are still waiting on Immigration. The attorney did contact them a couple of weeks ago and they said they were running three to four weeks behind. That puts us another week or two out I believe.

Kevin is having a hard time for the past few days. We have had trouble with the internet working well (his wireless) and the waiting is really getting to him. Not to mention that there is really nothing for him to do. Everything we do cost money and we are trying to save as much as we can. It is really hard having him like this and knowing there is nothing I can do. I try to be careful about what I talk about. I know he is stressed and down about everything. And it is really hard, really frustrating. He has no one near him, so he is alone. I miss him and I would do anything to make the time pass. He has been more than patient through all of this and I know it is hard on him, as it is hard on me too and I'm surrounded by kids, a dog and cats. I really hope we hear something soon.

I worked on a card for the past couple of days. At was using a specific hot air balloon image. I added some additional balloons to it:



I used all scrap papers that I had. I inked clouds behind the balloons on the white, but it is really hard to see because it is pretty light. I colored all the balloons with my Prismacolor pencils. I printed the 'Just Flying By To Say Hello' onto the banner.. The font was Scriptorama Hostess JF. The orange paper already had an emboss to it and I added the emboss to the green behind. I popped the balloons into different layers to give them depth. The front balloon that is brown is from Fresh Brewed and that is the challenge image. All of the other images were freebie images from Birds Cards.

Not Square!

So, I was working on this card for a "Not a Square" card. Then I realized when I was finished that the challenge was over LOL But it was still fun to make! Just for Kevin... :) So here it is:

Me and my fussy cutting.. LOL I fussy cut the card, the stars, the stamps LOL I popped a lot of things on the card. The stamps are Lawn Fawn "Critters Down Under".. the koala and the boomerang. I inked around the edge and colored everything with Copic:  Leaves:YG63 and YG67; Tree: E25, E27 and E13; Koala: I colored his nose with 100, C10, and C5; his body with CC5, C3 and C2; Boomerang: E25 and E13, YG63 and YG67, C10 and C5 and then I used Sharpie Stained pens to paint the circles. The G'day Mate! was done using a white opaque Painters Fine Marker.

Since I missed the one challenge LOL here is where I will put this one:
 And tonight .. still no kids! My sister called to see if they could stay another night. An extra night and day all to myself.. Woot!
