Here is another 3.5″x5.0″ Triple Circle Card from my 40 birthday cards…so sweet…

We have had a busy morning today.  We are staying with Kevin’s sister here in Portland who has 3 children…which makes any day busy :)… but this morning we babysat the youngest who has afternoon kindergarten… as people with very old children…you sorta forget how busy their “chatter” makes things!   We went to Lowe’s to get some bricks because Kevin is building some sort of patio for his sisters dog kennel!  I haven’t ventured out to see what he’s building but he enjoys doing that sort of thing.

I have gotten my Brother Scan and Cut machine out this afternoon so I plan to play with it and see what else I can learn to do with it!  Have a great “HUMP” day!

Thank You Puyallup WA!

Here is another cute little 3.5″x5.0″ made with the sizzix triple flip it circle dies.  This card was part of my 40 card birthday present.

We had an awesome time is Puyallup as usual.  So fun to see all the regulars Darlene, Yara, Sharon, Linda and so many more!  Had some awesome students in my classes and enjoyed our time here is WA!  Getting ready to head to Portland, OR today.  Washed some clothes, got my orders all together, and re-packed and got all organized again.  Hope your week has started out good too!

 

Off and Running!

Good Morning!  It’s bright and early here in WI as we pack to get moving and head to Seattle, WA and Portland, OR area.  We usually stay in MN with my brother but it makes the last day of travel difficult so we are heading all the way to Bismark, ND today.  We have 3 full days of travel.  We have a new series of books downloaded from audible so we should be occupied.  Have my knitting bag so looking forward to a few days of knitting.

Karissa has been working on some cards and so I’m stealing them for the blog!  Love this sweet simple card.  She found some lace tape…yes it is actually tape…I would love to be able to sell it but haven’t been able to find it…but it is cool.  I still looking for it….

Have a great Tuesday…

rose triple 2

so I found another triple die!  It so needs to be cut though!  Love it!

We are still working on the laundry room…my husband can do anything but he usually does it really slow!  On the flip side, it is usually done right.  So yesterday we had to go to town and  get  some end pieces for the transition from the laundry room to the hallway.  Since it is a little hike to town (a tank there and a tank back- that’s $8) we decided the tiling looks so good that we would do the mudroom since we already have a big mess.  While there I got this idea to tile the counter in the laundry room.  We had everything updated but the counter and the closet.  So Kevin said “if we are going to do it – let’s do it!” So we came away with everything to tile the counter and ideas for the closet.  This laundry re-do is never going to be done 🙂

Thinking of You

Well it’s the last day of March!! Where does time go?  I have about had it with the remodel project 🙂  I can take disorder only so long and then I need order!  We are just starting to tile today. All the other days have been just getting the floor ready.  I was glad for a day of rest yesterday.  Last night at 6 pm I thought about doing some knitting but decided I was too tired so I closed my eyes and promptly feel asleep.  Woke up at midnight to put pj’s on and went back to sleep till 6 am! I guess I was tired.

Love how the border stamp separates this top layer of the card.  But then again I love border stamps!  We have been using this border stamp in Design & Treasure at the Heirloom shows for those of you who have attended that event.  We used it on the coffee cup liner.  Here is another way to use that stamp.  It looks like this:

HH28

It is a nice back to back stamp.  Stamps Used in this Card:  B28 Rose small,   G17 Rose large (these stamps go way back to the beginning of our company!) F60 Thinking of You Vertical, and HH28 Lines & Dots Border

Well better get my orders done so I can do some tiling!  UGH! 🙂  The sad part is that this is the first room of many rooms that need re-modeling.  I love the planning part and the designing part but the actual work…not so much.  I guess we could pay to have it done but that just seems too expensive and I know that Kevin will do it right because he is a perfectionist.  He measures once, than twice, than again, and again by this time you can imagine me…almost over the edge 🙂

rosyWell,  the day has certainly gone fast today but I guess the whole month has gone fast since we are staring March in the face!  I hope this cold and snow goes away soon.  Snow is fine.   Cold is not fine.  We loaded the trailer today and it was – 9 degrees.  That’s cold.  Indianapolis will be significantly warmer at 30 degrees this weekend.  Looking forward to that 🙂 We begin travel in the am…onward rejoicing we go!

hope everything is rosy!

Get Well Soon, Thinking of You

floral gardenWe are up early here in Brooks, KY and getting ready to head into Atlanta, GA.  Hope the roads are off grid lock there!  We got out of the truck and it was what I thought was “warm”  so I looked and it was 20 degrees!  It’s all in perspective!  20 degrees seemed so much warmer than the 1 degrees we left in Green Bay,

Love this new cuttlebug embossing folder!  again just a simple card using the floral garden stamp!

 

TofU Vellum

Thinking of You

realtouvellumHere’s another vellum card!  I did emboss with detail gold a solid flower on it along with the words and the edges.  Really Easy but elegant.  I have also discovered that the newest version of the Glue Tape Runner is really clear on vellum.  I’ve been taping down my vellum and you can’t see the tape.  I think vellum needs to make a come back since we can tape it down now!
