New cards

Both of these cards are so boringly me. When time is of essence, I go right back to my "box". Sheesh!!

Spellbinders Butterflies

The first one I purchased is called Butterfly Reflections.

The second one is called Butterflies 2. Weird, they don't show the littlest one.

My first observation: I think I'm going to like the first butterfly reflections the best. It's closer to what I wanted.

Anyon have these? I'll let you know if you need them after I play with them.

Good News lol

I am offially DONE playing Tibia (the computer game I was hooked on). The first clue that I needed to move on, my hips were killing me and I couldn't figure it out. Did some thinking and realized I was spending hours sitting in one place playing that damn game.

Second clue: The laundry was hitting the roof of the laundry room.
Third clue: The refrigerator was bare.
Fourth clue: My family threatened to divorce me (haha not really but close).

Looking back, what a colossal waste of time!!! Sheesh!!!

I got some big card orders, made up the 3 sympathy cards and forgot to take pics. I have graduation cards to make so I hope to remember this time TO TAKE PICTURES.

Also, I will have another blog candy soon with the last of the nestabilities that I double ordered (duh on me). Stay tuned.
Thanks for sticking it out during my addiction. Do they have a group for computer game addicts?????

PS I got my shelving from The Best Scrapbook Shelf. Stay tuned once more for pictures of it in my craftroom. Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!

Where have I been you ask??? Here's a hint. DO NOT, repeat DO NOT go to an online computer game called Tibia. I have wasted more time on it and am COMPLETELY hooked!!! My mantra for this game is: Just one more level!!!!!

Repeat: DO NOT start playing this game!!!! LOL

Card Book/Bind It All

Here's some pics of a project that I did awhile back.

Materials: chipboard

Bind It All

5 X 7 envelopes (these are the book "pages)

matching paper & embellies

In each envelope is a matching card that goes with each envelopes' theme (birthday, thinking of you...)

This is super cute and easy!!!

Miss Ronda

There are tons of talented card makers/scrapbookers (including you people!!) out there. Sometimes you meet someone whom you just click with, right?? Well I have a friend that meets both of these criterias..........................let me introduce you to Miss Ronda from Danica's Scrapbooking. EVERYONE at Danica's is so creative but I'm highlighting Ronda because of a card.

Ronda has more creativity in her pinkie than I do my whole body!! Her projects are usually simplistic and that is what I tend to love.

She sent me a birthday card that is just so much fun but also simplistic. See, she doesn't buy/have all the go gahs that I have to have. But she creates the best cards!!!

Here is a birthday card she sent me. I laughed and laughed when I got it. It's just so funny and sweet at the same time.

Oh yeah, the inside says,

"In this day and AGE, life is so uncertain!! Just Eat the frosting."

THANK YOU MISS RONDA!!

Please note the fake eyelashes.....so cute!!

Lucy Lou

I love this cat!! She's always with me. So much so that if you haven't seen my crafting room, she has her own "perch" right above where I stamp.

Yesterday I was working on a labor intensive card for a friend of mine. I had stamped and cut the mask for the second stamping. Earlier I had paper pierced and colored another area. Anyway, Lucy was sleeping and twitching..........normal while I stamp. I was just getting ready to do the second round of stamping and this silly cat rolled off her perch in her sleep right on my card!! Of course it ruined my stamping but what was funny was that she landed on my black Momento teardrop shaped ink. She had a perfect teardrop stamped on her rear end. I tried to catch her but she was freaked!! She spent the day with the mark on her rear end until I got my hands on her!!!

Here's another card that I finished:

Fiskars Punch

Fiskars: All A Fleur Edge Punch

I meant to post this with Dana's birthday card....forgot. No surprise there. This is the inside of the card. What I want you to look at is the design of this Fiskars punch. It's at the top and bottom. This is an eye catching and absolutely beautiful punch. It embosses a little too. I am so glad I invested in it. I got it off Ebay. You know you need it!!! LOL

Candy

Crop-A-Dile Big Bite

I bought one of these when I went on my birthday craft shopping day. It took me a full 15 minutes to get it out of the packaging. Now mind you, that was just the Big Bite!!! It took me another 5+ minutes to get to the directions!!! And guess what!!!! The sheet of paper said INSTRUCTIONS in English but everything else was in French!! I finally found the instructions on a scrap of cardboard and it was white typing on baby blue. Ya can't read it!!!! Sheesh!!!
Anyway, whoever invented that hard plastic, heat sealed at the edges packaging should be shot!!! Anyone with arthritis simply would not be able to open it!!! And can I return it if I choose??? Not a chance!!! Grrrrr!!

I haven't used it yet but I seems heavy although it is designed to "stand" on the table not like the basic Crop-A-Dile.



I would love to hear from you that have one. Comments???

Birthday Card

I finally received this stamp from Paper Pretties. I wanted to use it for my youngest daughter's birthday card (her birthday was only a month ago). So yippee I got it done this weekend!! My daughter is in her first year of college and has taken ballet since she was in the first grade. She's so graceful with her slender long arms and legs.

Anyway, this is for you Dana.

March 31

I had a great birthday yesterday. As you may know already, I live in the boonies. I always tell everyone the nearest McDonalds is about an hour away with mostly wheat fields, deer, elk, cougars and game birds in between. The town I live in has 650 wonderful people but it's not much on the shopping for crafts side.

So my husband took me to the big city (The TriCities in Washington) for dinner and some craft shopping!! First stop was Michaels. I did a lot of looking but didn't find anything that I really needed. I did pick up a few stick pens and found some photo boxes for a project. I was excited about those two items. My husband went to Sportsman Warehouse.

Next, Craftware House. This is one of my favorite stores. I bought everything from the Big Bite Crop-a-dile to cowboy up paper for my two boys I scrap for. I found some Heidi Swapp Ghosts. I've been looking and looking for them! My husband took a nap in the car.

Then we went to Costco which I love. I bought some groceries but I mostly I looked and looked.

To top the day, we went to Red Lobster for their Lobster Fest. Heavenly!!!

Thank you to all of you followers!! You make my day with your comments!!

New Card

I needed to make 3 get well/thinking of cards. Here's one:

All paper is by Papertrey

Stamps: Thinking of You....Verve

Flutter by Stamp by Queen Cat Designs!!

Other: nestabilities, Cuttlebug border & folder, black Momento Ink, ribbon ?? Kaiser Craft rhinestones

I first colored the butterfly with Copics and then Shimmerz. It still didn't pop out enough, so I tried my Smooches. Luckily I could find a corresponding color for each of the Copics (pure luck!!). The Smooches jazzed it a lot! Of course the pic doesn't show how much Miss Butterfly glimmers. She's very pretty.
