Coffee, Friendship

Good Morning! So we were planning on leaving in the morning for the 4 southern shows but Kevin looked at the weather…and yep, he’s says pack it all up we are leaving today. oh gracious! Had an appointment to get blood pressure checked so off to town I go… was worried it would be high but was perfect! whew! Then further into to town, the dealer was fixing our truck when something went wrong with the lift and damaged the truck so they wanted to fix it while we were gone. Next back home and load! I hope I don’t forget anything. And did I mention it is -4 today ?!? 🙄 yes! negative!

I cut this valentines paper wrong for a card so I needed to find something to do with the paper that was cut wrong…hence a cute coffee card!

Christmas Cards

Good Evening! We made it to Grapevine this afternoon. The weather was a little sketchy this afternoon so we are glad to be here! It rained a bit and temperatures were right around freezing so we were a little worried but made it with no problem.

We needed to add a Christmas card to our make n take’s and I love this empty joy stamp…it’s so versatile.

Aliens, Birthday, Crazy Z Fold

We are back on the road! Yesterday Kevin looked at the weather and decided to leave. We packed in a hurry; hopefully didn’t forget anything 🤨

We spent the night in Bloomington , IL at the DoubleTree since no water in the toy hauler. We had a nice travel day but today we have had nothing but rain! Rain is better than snow but we have seen three accidents already.

Another fun pop out z fold card!

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp

Hello. Spent a little time in the studio today. Cleaned! Boy, did I have a mess. Why is crafting so messy??😝

Since I’m teaching this type of card fold in my class this year – I like to make a bunch of them so I’m very familiar with the card. They are a little addicting.

Crazy Z Fold, Friendship, Funky Folds

So I’m rocking and rolling and getting things done around here. 🙂 so much organizing that I forget to blog! Just cleaning up old make n takes and re-organizing things. Heat went out in the studio so we had to get a new heater- lucky we’ve been having beautiful weather in WI!!

Today’s card is one of our Fabulous Friend cards from our class. We will be teaching at all the Heirloom shows, Akron, and possibly Stampaway.

It’s a fun swing fold!
