Day off

Its been a quiet day off. Had the dog to the vets first thing this morning for her yearly check up. Came home and wasted alot of time playing around with the music on iTunes trying to change around the music on my iPod.

I made this card last night. I believe I saw it on heroarts. They have so many good ideas. The cupcakes are colored with a brush and my little cat eye inks. I saw this technique on a video recently. It was either heroarts or I think Linda Duke site. She has had alot of videos I've been watching lately.

Have a happy Tuesday :o)

Rainy day

Awhile back I put all my stamps in a binder. I don't have alot of space, and I wanted them all together. I stamped the image onto white cardstock, then placed the stamp on a piece of film used for overhead projectors. I then slid it into a page protector. That works great, but when your looking for a stamp to do a project, you have to get the binder out and sometimes the stamps are hard to tell what they are, especially the words. So I saw a while back on someones site(don't even know who's it was a day I was just surfing for ideas) a book they had stamped all their stamps in. So it's taken me a couple of week to do this. I had a small scrapbook just laying around, and I stamped an image of all my stamps in it. Now all I have to do is looking through this one when I'm designing my cards.

It has rained here all day. I have laundry to do of course (it's Sunday). I haven't even gotten out of my PJ's today. The kids are board today they can't go outside. They have pulled all the couchons off the couch downstairs to make a fort on it. Along with all the extra bankets they have in their rooms. THEY have to clean it up.

Have a great rest of your weekend

happy birthday

I haven't been working on cards lately so I have had none to post. Friday night I didn't have to work so went to crop night at the local craft store. I made these three Z-cards. I got the idea from Linda Dukes site. She has a great blog.

Good Friday

Today is a lazy day. A holiday for everyone, most stores are closed today. I had a cleaning job to do this morning, but then I came home and finished my little baskets.

I got this pattern from www.heroarts.com . They have alot of great ideas. You can even download the template for this project. It was really fun to do.

Have a happy Easter

April Birthdays

I'm finally done work for the week. Tomorrow is laundry day. I haven't done any all week. No cards made this week, I'm back to working on my album of my trip.

These are the invitations I came up with for the kids birthday party. They are sharing a pool party on the 19th. It should be alot of fun.

Have a great weekend. (Whats left of it)

New week

This is the last father's day card I have made. Last night I finished the kids birthday invitations. This stamp came from Stampin'Up with the car stamp from yesterday. I think I got the card idea from the stampin' up idea book too. Right now I can't remember.

Have a great week

Rainy Day

It's a blue rainy day. The only good thing the rain will take away the snow. It's Sunday, a relaxing day of house work, laundry, drywalling the bathroom(still), and driving my daughter to her friends.

I saw this card in a Stampin' Up idea book. This is my favorite stamp to use for male cards. You can leave it uncolored, which looks great too.

I have to get busy doing invitations for the kids birthday party. Just haven't felt like card making this week. I've been reading Harry Potter. I have to keep on the books my daughter is reading. Just to make sure they are appropriate for her. When I went away I watched a movie on the plane. She had gotten the book from the school library. It became clear to me that they don't watch what books the kids are taking out, and making sure they are age appropriate.

Bye for now have a great rainy day

Friday

Another end to a week. It seems to go by so fast. I'm always so busy. Though things are better with the second car. I've done my cleaning job this morning, home in time for lunch. Vaccuumed the house. Had to run back into town for bread that I forgot this morning. (Need it for supper) Now its time to start supper, so I can eat and off to work for 5:30.

Here is another Father's Day card. This week end I have to make birthday invitations for both kids. They are sharing a pool party this year.

Have a great weekend

Freedom

It's really nice to finally have two cars. No more rushing in the morning. I can take the time to blog before I'm off to work. Yesterday my daughter had violin. Usually I would drop her off, go get my husband from work, go back for her. Yesterday I asked my husband what I would do for a half hour while I waited for her. He said he would pick her up I could just go home. It's going to take a bit to get used to this. Freedom.

A couple of weeks ago I made a few father's day cards. This one uses a stamp from Stampin' Up that I'm very fond of.

Off to work now.
Have a great day

MP3 madness

Last night and this morning I've been trying to put music on my daughters MP3 player. She's had it for almost a year and not much music on it. It says its transferring but not showing up on player. I'm not that good with the computer, so it takes so long to do anything. Last night my husband showed me another way to do it. This morning she now has Hannah Montanna on 3 times. Hope she likes that one. ipods are so much easier.

This card is similar to another one I did. It's done with stickers. I got the idea from docrafts.

I'm off to work now. Have a great day.
