Thank You Cards

Photo Dec 27, 10 04 02 PM

a simple thank you for this morning as we get ready to go set up for the Grapevine, TX show.  Hard to believe that we are starting a new year of shows again.  Where does the time go?  For those wanting to know our 2015 schedule…we did up load a partial list yesterday.  There are a few more shows that we are signed up for that we need to add.  ( we could work on the website 24 hours a day 7 days a week and it would never be done or up to date 🙂 )

Stamps Used:  A208 KB’s Oak Leaf mini; A209 KB’s Maple Leaf mini; A210 KB’s 3 Leaf mini; B183 Thank you tina

We cannot to forget to add GO PACK GO!  🙂 🙂 🙂

You are Cool!

What a cool card?  So much fun…brand new stamps!  I’ve had them a couple of days but too busy with orders to touch them.  I finally got all the orders out today so I could touch the new stamps 🙂

I found a new cool product…I wasn’t sure about it but I really like it.  It’s called Stick It.  It is a sheet of double sided tape that is made for dies.  You put it on the paper, then cut the paper, and then position the cut die very easily.  A little hard to explain.  It is re-positionable to begin with then become permanent which is a great feature.  I should be able to demo it in Grapevine and at the shows this year.  I was able to apply these little glasses very easily with it.  We will also be carrying a new brand (to us)  called Taylored Expressions in the booth this year.  We are carrying their embossing folders and a few of the dies.

Happy New Year!

Hard to believe that it is 2015!  The years go by so fast.

Today I have a birthday card that I needed and, of course, it’s late so it’s a belated birthday card 🙂

No holiday for us today 🙂 We got a big wholesale order that needs to go out before we leave on Saturday so it’s out to the shop for us.  We did stay up to see the new year in so we are running a little late this am.  Hope your year is a good one!

Hump Day!

Anniversary/Wedding

Good Morning to You!  We are half way through the week.  We are looking forward to Grapevine, TX in a couple weeks.  We are leaving on Saturday to spend a little time in Minnesota and then on the Nebraska with my brother.  Was hoping for some warmer weather but it’s not looking likely 😦

Here is the wedding card.  I love the Silver Encore Metallic ink.  It makes a simple and elegant card.  Lots to finish up today so must keep moving 🙂

Stamps Used:  H81 Wedding Bells Lg, G336 Special Couple, D64 Wedding Bells Sm

Christmas Cards

seasons greetings

Good Morning!  Hope your Christmas was good!  I’ve been doing a lot of cooking!  When you have 10 adults in the household you nearly get breakfast cleaned up and you are making lunch, then cleaning that up and then you start supper and then you clean that up! Whew!  Glad these people don’t all live here 🙂

Fun to have but I don’t want to keep them 🙂

Here’s an easy card if you want to get next year started.

Snowman, Winter

We have to make our own snow for Christmas!  It’s raining!  Yesterday was the first day of Winter but the long johns have come off and we have no snow.  We got some things done this weekend.  Well, not a lot but we did manage to tile the mudroom.  So now we just need to get it grouted before all our company comes 🙂

Love the colors of this snowman card!  Stamps Used:  EE42 KB’s Snowman Looking Up Med, F228 Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Have a great Monday!

It’s Friday!

Love this winter card by Karissa.

We will be making stamps today.  We are close to being completely done with displays and I really want all the stamps for Grapevine done before all my company comes next week so I don’t have to worry about them.   Exciting days ahead 🙂

Enjoy your weekend!
