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

Can you believe Xmas is next week?!

Oh holy, hustle bustle....I can't believe Xmas is next week already.    I'm still working hard on my Xmas cards, I think I have @ 13 more to make.....I will get them done, they may not make it to the recipient until after Xmas, but I can guarantee they will be in the mail before Xmas : )  It seems like every year I'm more & more behind.  I am just about done w/Xmas shopping & wrapping thought-woohoo!!!!     I'm hoping for a nice calm week at work, but I know that won't happen.  My boss is "high strung" to begin with, so that reflects on the job......drives me stick'n NUTS!!!  Sorry, just had to vent...keep your fingers crossed for a good week.  We do have our office Xmas party on Friday afternoon, so I am looking forward to that & we are closed on Xmas Eve- double WOOHOO!!!!!   Well better get on to my new card & start working.....

My awesome mother bought me My Mind's Eye Xmas 6x6 pad of paper & then I had to buy one also-lol.  I actually used both pads of paper on this card.  Used EK Success border punch, inked all my edges.  The stamp is Inky Antics.  Can't remember the brand on the image, but I can see the 12x12 sheet of paper.  Added a fun button & string of red pearls & done.

Have a great week!!  TFL  Lynn

TGIF!!!!

I bet you thought I got lost...I kind of feel like I did-lol.  It has been a busy busy week!!  I had a lot of card orders that had to be done this week & that is always a process....it's not the making cards part, it's the photographing them & packaging them up that seems to take up my time : )   One more order of 4 cards to make & then I'm officially moving on to our Xmas cards...I know way late, but they will get done : )    Hard to imagine that after those, I'll  be moving onto Valentine cards...did you ever notice how far ahead of the game you have to be when making /selling cards.   I'm looking forward to this weekend, though it will be another busy one....I'm not done Xmas shopping yet, but I'm a lot farther along then before.    I do have a Xmas card to show you today-yeah.   My computer has been naughty all week & not reading my camera's memory sticks, so I didn't have anything new I could show you either....but I do today : )

I have to admit, I've  used a lot of blue & reds on Xmas cards this year, but soooo love the traditional red & green : )  My sparkly bell sticker is Hobby Lobby.  Used a journal tag from Echo Park.   Not sure of the brand on any of the papers...Dr. Pepper hasn't kicked in yet-lol. 

Have a great weekend!!  TFL  Lynn

The sun is out & it's going to be a good day....

Happy Thursday!!  It's a bit chilly out this morning, but there is a big bright sun- that always helps!!!   I've been busting my butt on Xmas cards this week, every night I dive into all my Xmas goodies....sounds awful, doesn't it-lol.    I unfortunately don't have a Xmas card to show you today though.....I made this card last week, I wanted to have more then just Xmas cards at the craft show, this was one I did for that.

The bird image is K & Company.  The background pp is Hobby Lobby, the stripe pp is old My Mind's Eye.  Can't remember the swirl brand, but if you need to know, let me know-lol.  Added buttons & bling & of course, inked all the edges.

Sorry for the super short post today, but off to try to get some more continue education done before my boss gets here & makes me do his work-lol.  Happy Thursday!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  Lynn

Yeah- A Xmas card

Hello all....hope you are having a great week...had to  believe Xmas is less then 3 weeks away.  I have to admit this Santa is behind on my Xmas list.  I really really need to get shopping : )   As of yesterday, I have 2 things crossed off me list : )   I'm still working on Xmas cards.  I have a couple orders to fill & then I'll be able to move on to my own Xmas cards.  Mom & I had a good craft show this past Sunday.  This is our 3rd year doing them & it's funny to realize we have a small following of people who buy from us every year- makes me smile : )   

Better get to my new card & get to working....

I am 100% in love w/the plaid pp, it's Recollection.   The green pp is Anna Griffin.  The notebook pp is the last of this piece for me, very sad-love this line by Girl's Paperi.  Used the EK Success large scallop border punch.  The awesome chipboard houses are from Martha Stewart.  I  must admit, I love her stuff, but boy is it expensive.  Stamp is Hero Arts.

TFL!!  Have a great day- half way to the weekend!!!!  Lynn
