Graduation

Good Morning. so the painting job is done…the wood floor goes in today. Yippee. I ended up doing a lot of the painting; I sent my nephew to get food at lunch time and he comes back and says to Kevin and my other nephew “there is something wrong with my truck ” and the boys put their paint brushes down and were out the door! ๐Ÿคจ

So the truck got fixed and we still got the painting done. It was a great day!

Today’s card is a quick and easy graduation card.

Crazy Z Fold, Friendship

Hello! It’s been a couple of crazy days around here. We’ve had lots of orders and one huge order that we have been working on. Got them all out today but have some odd little orders to get out now.

So this was a fun card to do! I did notice that I could see my copic coloring on the back of the owl and kite (see third picture) so on the second card I made – I cut out extra pieces to put behind the colored one. It also added weight which was good.

I’ve been designing word stamps to go behind these little flaps since it’s hard to find stamps that fit ๐Ÿคช. Hoping to have them by the MN & TX shows.

Birthday, Clear Stamp Sets, Crazy Z Fold

good morning! We got home at 2:30 am. long night but Kevin is a night owl so night driving is better!

I ran out of my girlie birthday cards on Saturday during the show in Collinsville so I quickly designed another and today’s card is the sample. We liked doing this make n take format and might add it to our other format. It was received well! Fun Card.

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Funky Folds

Good Morning โ˜€๏ธ

We are frantically getting orders out and trying to make stamps for Collinsville. Our booth placement stinks in Collinsville so likely don’t need to worry about making stamps anyway ๐Ÿคช

So we are changing our make n take format for Collinsville. We will not have our usual set up but we will be doing two different make n takes. Four spots. More like Paper Cut format. We are doing two different birthday cards. This masculine card and a girlie card that I will post tomorrow!
