Creatures, Valentine's Day

A switch from the big fox to the little fox today!

We made it to Batesville,  IN last night around 10 pm.  We are up and ready for set up today in Cincinnati, OH and for my class at 2:30 pm.  We have about an hour drive this morning into Cincinnati.

Here are some pictures of my niece who loves horses!  She was at a horse show of some kind this weekend and took home several ribbons.  Way to Go Hallie!

Here’s a card to go with the cup we posted last week!

Sooooooo we are off again!  Leaving today at noon for the last leg of this journey!  I admit it!  I am weary!  🙂

Have a last few stamps to make this morning but we are mostly packed!  I don’t really unpack.  I wash the clothes and just put them back in the suitcase.  So they went back in the suitcase this morning and the suitcase went back into the truck…Looking forward to Cincinnati!

Happy Friday Saturday! Sorry for the delay. I’m not sure what is happening with my uploads but I kept getting an error message. I think I have it working now. Here are two with sympathy cards. One is portrait layout and the other landscape. I colored the flowers with Copic markers. Stamps used: A190, EE40, EE39 and G335EE40 EE39

Another day…

Halloween

photo 1-1it’s another halloween card today.  It’s been a complicated day beginning with no milk for breakfast, no cream for the coffee, and no groceries in the house!  But I do have my laundry all caught up, groceries in the house, suitcases put away, all the orders have gone out, the bills have all been paid,  and I have a good start on getting stamps done for the next show which is in two weeks. Not bad for a Tuesday 🙂

I have been working on a quilt for my niece and I have three rows left on it so it’s in my plans to have that done before I leave for the Mesa, AZ show.  I got it all cut out and basted together this evening so now I just need to get sewing…so I think I’ll do that!  Have a good evening.

Halloween 2

Halloween

halloween2We made it to Cleveland, OH last night.  Our hotel room has no heat so it’s a little chilly!  Not sure what’s wrong with the heat but it’s a good thing there were two beds in our room since we stole all the covers from the other bed!

Here’s another halloween card to get you in the mood for halloween.  Still haven’t gotten the new stamps on the website yet but we should have good internet most of the way today.  Almost to the weekend!

Here’s what the halloween fun cube looks like:

Oh, Baby! Giraffe card

Baby Cards

Finally a few baby girls have been born. Sadly one is way down in Texas so I probably won’t see her for awhile and the other is here in MN. So excited! It means I can finally pull out my pink paper. After making the last 3 baby cards blue, it is a good change. I like to use purple and teal if I don’t know whether it is a girl or a boy though and that breaks up the traditional pink and blue, like the elephant card from last Friday. The tag in this card is a punch by EK Success that I ran a copic marker along the edge to add some pink and embellished it with a little heart brad (I love these brads!).

Stamps used: B266 Oh, Baby!, DD53 KB’s Baby Giraffe, J33 KB’s Baby Animals Border,

Copic Markers used: E33 Sand, E29 Burnt Umber

you light up my heart.

Welcome to Saturday! We do not typically post on the weekends but thought today was special since Valentine’s Day is less than a week away. Has everyone made their cards already? We love this little lightbulb that matches so well with “you light up my heart”.

Stamps used: A190 Small Solid Heart, C213 KB’s Heart Light Bulb, C221 You light up my heart.

Today we are in Clearwater, Florida at the 16th Annual StampFest. Click on this link for more information: http://www.stampfest.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SFBTBREG

Frog Card 4

Frogs & Bugs, Uncategorized

BB54, D227, F210, D231

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!
