Which color do you prefer?

This is what I came up with first.

Then I tweaked it a little.  Now to decide which one is my favorite.

cardstock: red, orange-Bazzill, black, white, purple-don't know

ink: Stazon

stamp: SU! Echoes of Kindness

extras: ribbon (Hobby Lobby), brads (The Paper Studio)

Stampin' Pastels and blender pens

Simple and Versatile

I made this card for our card swap.  I actually ordered the square punch AFTER I cut all these squares out.....I made 8 cards.....32 squares were cut out.....by hand......hence the reason for buying a punch.....much easier!!!

I also sent this one out as a Birthday card to my cousin's daughter who celebrated her 17th birthday.  I thought she needed a "grownup type" of card.  After all, she is not one of our babies anymore.  She has blossomed into a beautiful young lady.

I will probably use this layout alot.  It's simple and versatile.  

That's my kind of card ~ simply versatile.

cardstock: SU! Kraft, Naturals Ivory

ink: SU! Chocolate Chip

stamp: SU! Sweet Stems

Stampin' Pastels

Masculine Card

This card was my first masculine card.  I find it a challenge to make "guy cards".  My husband asked if I could make one for a co-workers husband who was celebrating his 60 birthday.  I really like this couple, they are so sweet and have helped hubby out in many a tight spot over the years.  So, how could I say no.

Rainy, cold and cards

Turned off rainy and cold. YUCK!!

We had a taste of Spring last week.  Didn't last long. :-(  Please Spring come back to us!!!!

My friend, Tanya, came over today.  She wanted my help, and use my stuff, to make some bookmarks for her co-workers.  I didnt get a picture cause she didnt finish them.  She has a friend that can do Caligraphy, and she is wanting her to put their initial on it.

And I made cards for our stamp club card swap.  Stampin Up paper, ink and chalks (used with blender pen), and Stickles on the flower.  I ♥ Stickles.

After Tanya left, I made a card for my cousins birthday and a baby shower card (which I am not happy with so we won't talk about that one).  Well, I made it for the wrong cousin.  *crap* Oh well, the correct cousin will receive a belated birthday card cause I am done for the day.  (sorry Aslinn)

I have a job interview next Monday at a company that is literally a mile down the road. Well, you have turn a couple of times, but still A MILE.  That would be soooo cool to work that close to home!

Till next time....... :~)

Blog much?

Umm, no I don't. LOL

I haven't blogged cause I have nothing to blog about.  Well, I did have surgery.  It was my gallbladder causing me troubles.  So, now it's gone.

Here are a couple of cards I have done for various family birthdays.

Stamps and ink are Stampin Up, paper is whatever or Bazzill cardstock.

We are starting to build our shop.  Thought I would get to landscape the front this Spring but it might have to be another year.  Got to get this shop built, so hubby has somewhere to work on our vehicles at.  I should really say, Kyle's vehicles.  That boy and his trading cars.  Drives me crazy.  

Anyway, that's an update from me.  If you can call it an update. HA!
