Thank You Cards

Thank You to KB for posting last week since I was really busy!  We made it home at 2 am on Monday morning from Collinsville,  IL.  We had an uneventful trip.  Those are the best kind!

I have promised everyone that I would make samples with the new CottageCutz dies that we are carrying in our booth!  I love the detail to them.  Here’s the first one…a simple butterfly.  This card also has one of Cuttlebugs new embossing folders.  I might challenge myself this week to use it on every card…we’ll see how it goes:)

We have a few weeks of rest before the Milwaukee, WI show on September 22 & 23rd at the State Fair Grounds.  Visit http://www.rubberstampevents.com for more information.  We really won’t be resting…Kevin is putting a new dishwasher in today.  In the morning we plan to start on a deck in the back yard.  Our back yard is a mess and we just need to clean it up a bit!  Maybe I’ll take some before and after pictures!

Here is the same border from Frog Card 2 again! The frog and flies were filled in with Copic Markers.

This card reminds me to worry less and laugh more. This is one of my favorite sayings to put on a thinking of you card for someone going through tough times. Life is hard but there are so many things to find joy in and be thankful for. Here are some things that bring me joy, maybe you share some of them…

1. sitting in the sun with a good book

2. getting an unexpected card in the mail

3. hearing about animals being adopted into wonderful families

4. family reunions

5. getting a whiff of the basil in my kitchen window

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday and is able to find joy in the day!

Christmas Cards

This is a cute and easy Christmas card!  When time is of essence, that’s what we need!  I added this card to the make n takes. We had a good drive to Novi, MI.  Watched the Packer game with Ron and Sarah from The Paper Cut..don’t know how it ended since we had to go to bed before the end of the game!  It’s off to the convention, with two classes today, set up, and Design and Treasure…it’s going to be a busy day!  Good News about my voice!  It’s Better!
