handmade birthday card

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, Box Cards, Pirates

The holidays are over and it’s back to work. We celebrated two birthdays while on holiday. Two 20 year olds. The first card was for my niece. I’m pretty sure I won the contest for the best card! 😉 A box card works great for a money holder.

Birthday, Box Cards, flowers

Good Evening! Lots going on around our place! We needed to get a new POS system which is a point of sale cash/computer program. Groan! Lots of data entry which I am not a fan of.

I finally realized my blog had gotten disconnected from facebook so hopefully that is fixed.

I cracked a tooth! Most annoying 😩 so it’s either a $2500 root canal and cap or pull it. I’m leaning towards pulling it. This is the 5th tooth I’ve cracked! I need to stop clenching my jaw. So was at the dentist on Monday, today, and need to make an appointment for whatever it is I choose. I don’t have time for this 😜🤪😝

But I LOVE making box cards so fun and easy. My class this year includes a box card. Information for my class is on our 2019 schedule. Here is the link to our schedule: 2019 Schedule

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.
