so I was so busy yesterday I forgot to blog!  I thought about it several times but Kevin and I were working on the website and it got kind of  involved!  We made a lot of progress but have a ways to go.  One thing about websites and technology is that things often change fast.  We put a lot of time into the website a few years ago and now with all the smart phones and tablets we need to update the software and so that means a lot more hours spent on it.  Being stuck in a hotel sorta forces us to work on it 🙂 otherwise it’s easy to ignore.

Another easy watercolor swipe card.  I used both a yellow and a black pencil but was afraid the black would over power so made that mark small.  Stamps Used:  EE19 KB’s Bees Lg, and D193 Beecause I care.

Friendship, Frogs & Bugs, Hello, Just a Note

Good Morning!  It’s been a crazy week!  We are trying to get ready for the Colorado show and then to leave for a few days without thinking about work.  We leave this afternoon for our annual church convention and we will not think about working at all.  And it takes a little bit of work to arrange it all!

I have been wanting to try little index cards for some time now and they are so fun, so quick, and so easy!

Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home

Frogs & Bugs

so happy to be home and off the road for a little while!  🙂  We are very far behind on things though so it will take us a little while to get caught up.  Especially the paperwork ! UGH!

Had a little chance to play in the studio yesterday after we got home and got all the suitcases unpacked.  I have been wanting to take the svg. files and convert them on the brother website and then cut them out.  Here is an eyeglass svg. file that I got for free!  so adorable.  Should have made it just a bit smaller but I was still happy with it.  The card is actually a scallop heart card that I also did on the brother website.  Working on the big computer screen is easier than the little screen on the machine and then I just download it to the usb port and take it to the machine and there it is!  Love it!  Today I’m going to try and cut some felt that Amy sent me.  Have to get a few orders out this morning first!

Happy Monday!

Off to Minneapolis!

I managed to get another MNT (make n take!) ready for the Bloomington, MN show!  So excited about our new cards…the old ones were getting boring.  Love these Flag Cards from The Paper Cut, Inc.  We hope to get them on our website soon.

I went on a shopping mission to get these blue owls that my sister got as a wedding present…

they are the EXACT blue that my planters in the front of the house are…but no success!  But I did manage to find these blue owls…

not  quite as cute but still adorable!  He looks like he’s scowling 🙂 The price was right $24.99 with 70% off plus an additional 25% off.  I think times are tough!  Have a great weekend!

Another MNT!

Birthday, Frogs & Bugs, Studio Pictures

so it was quite a successful shopping trip!  Got this vinyl chalkboard for by my cutting table for $1.79!  All those little yellow sticky notes will be transfer to it.  They have typical measurements on them.

What does a girl do with all those left over 1″ red stripes of paper from another project!??

Design another Project!

Here’s to another MNT Project!  Hopefully I will have it done for this weekend.  We are leaving at 5:00 am in the morning.  The dog has already been taken to the kennel, the suitcases are all packed, and the showers will be done before we go to bed so we are ready to roll!
