Happy to be home for a short while! Planning a friend weekend with some of my girlfriends up in Door County and it’s coming up in a few weeks so getting excited! But I have to go to work this weekend!? Just seems like work gets in the way of life 🙂 necessary evil 🙂 lucky I have a great job!
Love the colors in this card: pink, black, and grey! Stamps Used: JJ16 KB’s Snowman w/mouse border; E248 Coolest Friend,
so this weekend while we were in Mandan, ND we had 1.5″ of snow and it was a mess but beautiful large snowflakes. So this week I have a couple snowman cards and then Karissa has made a few halloween cards which will follow. If you notice I used the AA10 and AA15 dots in the background. I often use them in middle of flowers and different ways they are just a simple addition to cards.
Well, we are still in Fargo, ND and have many hours to travel today so that we can have a couple days in our own bed and then off again for the York, PA show.
We could use some coffee this morning! It’s a cold one…they are expecting snow here. Kevin’s all excited, my brother who spent most of last year overseas is excited, Kevin’s sister Tamara who is from CA and doesn’t see much snow is excited…I think I’m the only one not excited!
I like the chevron border. It can take the place of ribbon and balance out a card. Have a great weekend!
Here’s a little 4 oz coffee cup decorated up for a gift! How cute to put a starbucks gift card in this!? I was just thinking we could cut a slit in the top and do something cute with it. I’ll have to try that when I get back home.
We are in Bismarck, ND where snow is being predicted?!! gasp! not ready for snow but I do have a winter coat and boats so I guess I am ready! We are attending a church convention with my brother and sister in law so very special.
Enjoy your day, I know that I’ll enjoy my day! 🙂
Ok so I goofed! I meant to do this card yesterday and yesterday’s card today! Sometimes I just do not have it all together 🙂 I love this embossing folder from Darice. I used it on the front of the card too but only a section of it. This is how the folder looks.
We have arrived in Bismarck, ND for our mini vacation. Kevin lived in this area until he was in sixth grade and so we are on a grand adventure. Hard to imagine that we travel for a living and traveling for a grand adventure but such is life. We traveled to Elk River, MN yesterday and stayed at my folks for “bed and breakfast!” and then off to Bismarck today.
Have a great hump day! We are half way to the weekend!
Oh my goodness…it’s a beautiful day here in WI! It’s perfect, the sun is out and the temp is a perfect 70 degrees!
This morning I have a card from Sarah at The Paper Cut. It is their topnote z fold card. How cute is that!
We are leaving this morning for a little mini vacation! We are turning over a new leaf and taking time to smell the roses! I really have the itch to stamp this morning so off we go!
Well, here it is Monday Morning Again! The days just keep passing by. Kevin and I will be very busy today making stamps for the York convention. We are going on a little mini vacation since Kevin’s sister Tamara is still in the midwest so we just have a few days to get them done.
This is a new Make n Take that we will be available in York. It came out so adorable. Stamps Used: BB51 KB’s Snowman; DD61 Snow Fun Cube, DD63 1″ circle & dots.
This adorable flip card comes from my friend Sarah at The Paper Cut, Inc. It uses their Topnote Z Fold Card. Very bright and cheerful colors!
Finished cleaning my house so now I’m off to make stamps! Little tripped planned to see the kids this weekend so that’s exciting. Have a great weekend.
I got my box of 4 oz coffee cups and lids! These are tiny plain coffee cups that you can decorate into a treat cup…how cute are they!?? I wish that I would have had some yarn in fun colors other than black and white but we are headed into town soon to go truck shopping (ugh, not so fun) but they have stores down there and soon I will be the proud owner of orange, purple, green and whatever other 🙂 color yarn!
I finally got my orders done (whew, they took what felt like forever!) so I could work on making some cute cups. I want to make more but they will have to wait.
I also did a project with some spray paint since I was going into withdrawals. This was a silver paper towel rack and I decided to make it into a cookie cutter holder and of course orange is my new favorite color.
the picture does not do it justice! I did update my IPhone to IOS 7 and it’s awesome. so for those of who are chicken…I really like it! I still want an IPhone 5s but we will have to wait a little on that 🙂
Pat, one of my customers, sent me a card using these colors and I just loved it so I set out to make one for myself. It’s hard to tell on the picture but it’s an olive green, lighter olive green, and then some cream too! Nice and Simple-just the way I like them.
Well it’s been quite a day…I feel like I accomplished nothing but worked all day. We started off cleaning the house and only got the second floor done…hence nothing complete I still have the first floor to clean in the morning. Went truck shopping (our truck has 371,000 miles on it and yes I didn’t make a typo) so we keep thinking it is going to stop one of these days…didn’t find a truck…hence that’s not done. Got home to try and get some of my orders out…ran out of time so I headed to town to get my niece from school. Hence no orders got out. I had to pick her up at 2:35 but she had a dentist appointment at 4:30 so what’s a girl to do with a little time? Yep, go shopping! So thanks to my good friend Luanne Erickson I’m the proud owner of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Can’t wait to start using it.
and we won’t be eating for the next month but I’ll be painting 🙂
So this is Sarah my little friend from Denver CO! So Cute!
Pam and I have been having fun…well Pam more than me…I have had to do some work so I think I stamped one card and now it’s time for supper so…there goes that!
I made another coffee card today. Which I have to mention that nobody told me that I did the same card twice in the last couple of weeks 🙂 I think I was a little tired last week. A vacation will do that to you! The little coffee fun cube sold very well in Denver and it is a ton of fun. We ran into someone in Denver doing Make n Takes with 4 oz coffee cups and they were absolutely adorable! and yes I hope to have them in York, PA which is our next show. I ordered the coffee cups and they have shipped already so I’ll try to show them to you all when I get a chance.
Here is the inside to my card from last week! I’m liking fun folds.
We are still traveling home from Denver, CO. Had an awesome time in Denver. Saw some old friends, Sandy, Joanne, Tina and company! Met some new ones…met a young girl named Sarah who was the sweetest little girl. I really would have like to take her home! Me, who’s happy with my empty nest. I took a picture of Sarah because she was so cute and polite but my email not working so great this am so I’ll try and post it in the morning.
We should be home sometime this afternoon and then Pam and Monty from Morning Star are coming for a little visit. Pam and I are going to spend tomorrow stamping so hopefully I will have a few new Make n Takes to add. Hope your Monday’s a good one!
