Birthday, Crazy Z Fold

hello! Today’s card is my girlie birthday make n take for Collinsville! We are about 45 minutes to the convention center at a campground. It’s. Hot. 😝

Our internet is lousy so this will be a quick post! Hope to see some of you in Collinsville!

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Funky Folds

Good Morning ☀️

We are frantically getting orders out and trying to make stamps for Collinsville. Our booth placement stinks in Collinsville so likely don’t need to worry about making stamps anyway 🤪

So we are changing our make n take format for Collinsville. We will not have our usual set up but we will be doing two different make n takes. Four spots. More like Paper Cut format. We are doing two different birthday cards. This masculine card and a girlie card that I will post tomorrow!

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Funky Folds

Good Morning! We have a lot going on here with the new toy hauler and modifying the booth to fit.

Spent yesterday afternoon in the studio and only got one card done 😬🙄🤨 it was not a productive afternoon. I was trying to do a new fold and have lots of crazy scored things that didn’t work.

Today’s card is from a few days ago. It is a favorite of mine. I’m planning to teach a class next year called Funky Folds and this card is going to be one of them.

Birthday, Funky Folds

good evening! Another day is done! the days seem to go by faster and faster.

Just a cute story for today… my sixteen year old nephew comes and plays video games with Kevin and he came upstairs tonight and was watching me stamps cards. He wanted to know if I was working or having fun??! I said both and he thought it would be easier to just go buy a card. So I told him my making cards was like his playing video games! He wasn’t convinced!!

I’m having so much fun making funky fold cards. I started this one early this afternoon and it took me a quite a while to get the measurements right but I was having fun!!

Crazy Z Fold, Get Well Soon

Good Morning! I keep telling myself to smile! We have been slowly getting things back together when we had a pipe burst in our bathroom. groan! Again, almost all fixed and back together. Glad we were home when it happened or it could have been a disaster.

Our new toy hauler will be ready for us next week and we can get that packed again. That’s like moving only on a smaller scale. 😊

We added about 24 more dies so that’s exciting. Now to get caught up😝

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold

the crazy z folds continue!! We’ve have been very busy with our broken trailer. We have come to a resolution with the manufacture and are satisfied. We need to empty the entire trailer which is a huge job! I need less stuff!!

I’ve been using our dies that match stamps. I don’t know why I resisted so long! They really are too much fun and easy to use.
