Happy Wednesday : )

Quickie post today- my desk is a mess....that's what I get for leaving early yesterday!!  Had to leave for my fun dentist appointment, but at least that's over & I don't have to go back for almost a month : )  

I had to play w/some more of my new Xmas scrapping goodies on my new card : )  I got sooo much for Xmas it will take me years to use it....remember, I've told you I'm spoiled-lol! 

Used a lot of Simple Stories on this card, the turq. pp & both red polka dot pps & the couple image (too cute).    Can't remember the pink pp- I can see the sheet, but the brand just isn't coming to me. 

Have a great day!!  TFL!  Lynn

 

to brighten your day : )

Okay, we made it through Monday : )  Now gotta make it through today... I'd say it shouldn't be that bad, but I'm back to my weekly dentist appointments-yuk!!!   I'm really we are hoping to be almost done!!  I'm not looking forward to today, as I know what we have to do, but I'm really thinking this will be the last of the really yucky visits.  Positive thinking : )   I'm off from work this Friday, my bet friend is visiting, we are off to the casino Friday night!!  yeah, I'm so looking forward to some "stupid down time", oh yeah & winning some money : )

Better get to my new card & get to working, I can see my voicemail light flashing away.   I used some new Xmas pp on this card, American Crafts, it's a 6x6 pad- love'n it.  The flower & butterfly are from Current.  Used my fav. Martha Stewart grass punch & the Fiskars scallop border. 

Have a great day!!  TFL  Lynn

 

Monday- why, already?!!

Every notice how fast the weekends go, especially ones when you don't have anything "special" to do?!!  We had a very relaxing weekend, though I did get all the Xmas decorations stored away until next year...I even started getting out some Valentine stuff.....the house needed the "pop" of red after being decorated for Xmas it was looking a bit drab : )  I spent all sorts of time at the scrapping table....If I could only get lots of cards done when I'm there, but I'm pokey & like to enjoy the whole card making process : )  I have the best customer's in the world...my one girlfriend Pam, picked up a  bunch of cards the other day & brought us homemade manicotti-yummy!!!  My other friend, Karen stopped by yesterday & brought me 2 books of pattern paper...you know me, in Heaven w/paper & a gift card to AC Moore.  Too darn sweet, huh?  She did place her order for some cards & tags, too.  I can't believe all the friends I've made through my wonderful hobby, whether it be from craft shows where I've gotten some customers, who have become friends, to sb.com,where I have made some wonderful, life long friends...who would have known : )

I better get to showing you my new card, which I must admit I made a month ago or more.  I need to find time to take some pics of my new cards : )  Anyway, background pp is Crate Paper, green paper is Echo Park (Xmas).  The awesome 3D sticker is K & Company.  Stamp is Fiskars, used the EK Success border punch, added some pearls, inked my edges & done : )

Have a great day!!  TFL  Lynn

One for the girls lol!!

What a bright sunny morning- totally helps the mood!!  It's suppose to be a beautiful day w/a high near 40...it would be the perfect  day to do some shopping, use those Xmas gift cards & make a couple returns....oh wishful thinking, stuck at work : )  At least I have a little window where I can see the sun-lol.    You should have seen poor Wilson last night, trying to stick to the snow patches outside..he must be getting older, more mature (LOL)...usually he'd be running & jumping in the water/mud.... that'll probably be tonight when there's more mud : )  Besides work, it's been a quiet week, most of my Xmas stuff is put away & I've just been working on cards : )

Speaking of cards......................
It was time for some pink!!  I hate to admit it, but I didn't use one new thing on this card.  The fuzzy bear & moon stickers are super old, they were dollar store finds.  Pink polka dot pp is oooold My Mind's Eye, stripe pp is Crate Paper, yellow paper is Recollection.  I think the little pink stars are Sticko.  Used some rick rack from my stash & as usual, inked all the edges.

I hope you have a great day...tomorrow's Friday, hope that makes you smile : )  TFL  Lynn

half way to the weekend : )

I know, don't wish my life away & really I'm not, just looking forward to the weekend : )  Not that we have any plans, though those are sometime the best weekends, but really work has been a "bear" this week so far, so obviously just wishing that part was over : )   It's suppose to be near 50 degrees this weekend, that is beyond a heat wave for us in the middle of January.   We do have about 6+ inches of snow on the ground right now, so the backyard ought to be a giant mud pit this weekend : )

 

 

I must be on a "boy" kick w/my new cards.  Sticker is October Afternoon, as is the rick rack border.  Blue-ish background paper is My Mind's Eye.  The alphabet pp is Basic Grey  Used the Fiskars scallop punch.  Stamp is Inky Antics.

 

I hope you have a great day!!  TFL  Lynn

trying for 2 days in a row : )

Ok, let's see if I can get this computer/blog to cooperate this morning.  I tried to post last week & then again first thing yesterday morning, but it's not been letting me upload pics....hard to do my "card" blog w/out showing my new card of the day  : )   I did a little investigating yesterday & it seems I'm not the only one on blogger having that problem....hmmm, computers!!!    I've been working hard on new cards, I literally had ZERO cards in my house after Xmas, seems I spent the last month plus on just Xmas cards : )   I am 100% spoiled, you should see allllll the new scrapping goodies I got.  Mom got my goodies from my wish list on Tea Peas & my honey went nuts on my wish list on sb.com.....  then my brother & SIL got me all sorts of 6x6 pads of pattern paper.  If you know me, you know I LOVE patterned paper, oh yeah & stickers, & ribbon....oh I could go on & on, love it all!!!!

Yeah, blogger worked!!!   I used some new Xmas goodies on this card.  The tag & rattle image are both Crate Paper- their Little Boy Blue line.   The yellow gingham pp is Crate Paper also.  Used some lace, ribbon & button from my never ending supple.  Used the Cuttlebug for my mini tag.  Got out the bakers twine for some bows- boy that stuff can be snotty to use- kept twirling up on me, but as you can tell by the pic- i won-lol.  The stamp is Lawn Fawn.  I inked allll the edges, as usual.

Well time to get to working.  My desk is a mess, typical day!!!  Have a great Tuesday!!  TFL  Lynn

Happy New Year!!!

Happy 2013!!!!  Yes, like usual, a day late & a dollar short : )  I hope everyone had a safe, relaxing & enjoyable holiday season!!  Can you believe it's over??  I feel like I had just started my Xmas cards & now the Xmas goodies are put away for another year.....I'm hoping to work on Xmas cards through out the year, but I say that every year.  I did have a lot, and I mean a lot of Xmas card orders this year....yes, it's a good thing to have such great customers : )    I had "good" plans on coming in Wednesday morning & getting back into my blog....well my car, really a mouse, had other ideas : )  A mouse chewed a wire on my car & then took the wire along w/the sensor it was attached too....what a way to start my year, and of course this was not covered by the warranty, but at least our insurance covered most of it.   Needless to say, I had Wednesday off.  I had to play catch up on Thursday & then my blog was acting up on Friday, wouldn't let me upload pics- naughty computer....anyway, I just figured out how to upload pics again, so hopefully tomorrow, I'll be back like normal : ) 

This was one of my many many Xmas cards from this year.....snowman chipboard is Hobby Lobby.   Sorry, I can't remember any other brands on this card today.  I've been fighting w/computer all morning, brain is tired-lol!!!

 

 

Have a super great week!!  Happy Monday!!  TFL  Lynn
