Retirement Box Card

Hello!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weekend.
I am trying to organize my craft space so it's kind of a
working weekend for me. I did get the lawn mowed and
watered yesterday so that is one less task. I wonder when
I make it to retirement age if I will have less work to do.
Probably not.
The reason for retirement on the brain is because of the
retirement box card I made.

This is not the regular type of box card that I make. This is
a smaller version that actually will fit in a regular envelope.
I think I like this version best because I don't need to make
envelopes to fit the card. It doesn't mean that I will no longer
be making the other version I will just be making less of
that version.
I hope you like my card.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!

Binder Clip Purses

Hello!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the
weekend. It's not going to be much of a weekend here at
my house. My husband has to work on Saturday that is
how things roll here in the summer time. Oh well that's
life.
On to my projects.
I made a few purses out of the binder clips which is a
great way to use up those small scraps.

I added a ribbon bow so that when you place a picture
or note card  on the clip that it holds them secure. I used
a paper flower on one and a ribbon flower on the other to
give it some pop. Really easy to make. I also used a black
pearl embellishment on both purses. It made the purses
look more finished.
Hope you like my binder clip purses. Until my next post
Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!!!

Ladybird Gorjuss Girl

Hello!!!
Hope everyone is doing well.
Sorry for not posting yesterday. My day was full. The
temperature dropped some so I got busy outside trying
to get all my yard work done. Don't want to have to be
trying to get things done outside when we have triple
digit temperatures.
So onto my project share below.
 
I colored the Gorjuss Girl stamped image (Ladybird)
with water color pencils and then fussy cut so that I
could put her on this large memo clip.
The flowers are a variety of handmade paper and ribbon
along with some that I bought. I'm happy with how
my project turned out.
Sorry I didn't get a closer picture of Ladybird. I was somewhat
in a hurry to get pictures of all the projects that I just forgot to
get close-ups of the image.
I'm having so much fun coloring these images. I have a
few more that I'm working on. Not sure what I'm going
to do with the others yet but once I figure it out I will
be sharing.
Hope you like my project. Until my next post
Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!

Little Blue Corvette

Hello there!!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. Sorry for
the late post. The temperatures have been in the triple
digits and I get up early to water my garden and get a few
other things done outside before it gets to hot.
Now that everything is done that needs to be done here is my
post.
This is another Birthday card that I made for the male gender
because I was out of cards. I have plenty for the female
gender. Very typical because the girly cards are more fun
to make.

I am not sure where I got this digi. I know that I have
used it before on some other cards. I hope you like my
card.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!

Old Truck 2


Hello!!!!!
Hope to find some of you still following me. I know it
has been a few months not because I haven't been creating
anything but because I just had to get a grip on things. There
is so much going on in the world that just really upsets me and
if I opened my mouth I know I would make many enemies
so I took a break
This is a card that I made using a digi image from Digi Doodle
that I got way back in 2012 that I think there has been a name
change so I'm not sure if they are still around.
I colored the image and fussy cut it. I then adhered the image
onto black cardstock and fussy cut it leaving a border of about
one eight of an inch all the way around. Gives it a real shadow
affect.
Thank you for stopping by. Hope you like my card.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Baby girl album

Hello fellow crafters and followers.
Hope to find you all doing well and enjoying the middle
of the work week.
Sorry for the absence I am trying to get ready for a show.
I committed to a show every Saturday for the next five
months. So it's going to get a little crazy.
This an 8 x 8 album that I finally got done.

I was a little slow last week in getting any creating done.
I took a spill. My knee has a bruise the size of a softball.
I got a floor burn on my elbow and I think I broke my big
toe. How did I take a spill you ask well I tripped on the
dogs bed.

Here are a couple more pages. I have also made pockets
of the pages themselves.

I won't show all the pages. I don't want to bore you.
Hope you like the pages I did post. I'm off to price all
my inventory.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Pink Attitude

Hello fellow crafters and followers.
Hope to find you all doing well and looking forward
to the weekend. I have lots of yard work plans for this
weekend since our temperatures are to be close to
eighty degrees.
Sorry for the late post today got a little tied up with
paper work and phone calls.
Here is a card that I made for a challenge and then
I think I forgot to post it.

I went back some ways on my blog to see if it ever
was posted and didn't find it so I thought I better get
it posted because I'm trying to clean up my picture files.
I love the sentiment.
If I have posted it before I am truly sorry. I hope you like
it anyways.
I always feel like I have so much to do and never enough
time in the day. So I'm off to tackle the next thing on my
long list of things to get done.
Until my  next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!

Gorjuss Girls

Hello fellow crafters and followers,
Hope to find you all doing well and creating. I have
been working on coloring rubber stamped images.
I have been trying different techniques. I have found
one that I like and works for me.

These are Santoros' Gorjuss girl stamps. The image on the
right was done with water color pencils and a blending
pen. The image in the middle was done with water color
pencils and a water brush. The image on the right was
done with ink pads and a water brush. Out of the three
techniques I like image in the middle the best so I will be
sticking with that technique I think.
What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by. Don't forget to leave a comment

at the end of this month. Until my next post Have A

How now brown cow?

Hello fellow crafters and followers.
Hope to find you all doing well and enjoying the middle of
the week. I am just trying to stay healthy. I have had some
restless nights yesterday I got only two hours of sleep.
Lack of sleep sure is draining. I haven't felt like doing
much.
I had to push myself to sit and do this post. Here is my
project another box card.
 
 
I love to use pinks with browns so I used it on this birthday
box card.  Isn't it strange how a word can remind you of
such silly verses. When I think of brown my head thinks
how now brown cow. Am I the only one who thinks this
way? Who knows. I won't ask others for the sake that they
may think I'm crazy, I know I am crazy I just don't want
others to know that.....LOL....
Ok enough of this craziness. Hope you like the card. Until
my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!
Thank you for stopping by.

Angels in Heaven ATC

Hello fellow crafters and followers.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend and doing
something that you enjoy doing.
I will be crafting at least I hope that I will be.
Sorry I couldn't get the picture to rotate. This is my
ATC in the process. The picture in the header is my
ATC completed. I actually forgot to get a picture of it
finished so I had to take a still of it from Kimbo
Kreations on YouTube.
Hope you like my ATC.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!

Pink Balloon ?

Hello fellow crafters and followers.
I bet right now many are hoping that spring weather
arrives soon because many are tired of the cold.
We had a warm day yesterday and we are suppose
to have another warm day today, but Saturday we are
looking at rain and a dip in the temperature. Not great
weather for a weekend of festivities. Pear blossom
weekend here with parade, 10k and 5k run, wine
tasting, train rides, and vendors at the park. Oh well
many will still brave the rain.

My card for today is another box card. Birthday cards
are a popular card. It also seems that purple is also
just as popular. It probably won't last to long on display.
At least I hope it won't.
Thank you for stopping by, until my next post Have A
Splendid Day!!!!!

Get Well box card

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
Hope you are all keeping safe and warm. I've been
watching the weather reports and it seems that winter
is still hanging around. We had a winter weather
advisory for that last few days but today we should be
close to seventy degrees. I hope that we do warm up
a little.

I made this get well box card in hopes that I have a good
amount of box cards before next Saturdays show. I think
I am doing pretty good so far. I am working on a new
version of the box cards too. I'm liking the new version
because I don't have to make a special envelope for it.
It will fit in a regular envelope. Probably not the right
time to be trying something different but its what us crafters
do. I'll be posting some of those soon.
May you get to do what you love to do today,
until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Prima paper bag mini part 2

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
Hope to find you all doing well. I'm doing well just going
a little crazy with paper work. So I kind of fell off the wagon
and missed a few days of posting. With the holiday and some
business that needed to be taken care of I was just to tired to
write.
Let me walk you through the rest of the min album and my
paper work saga. I left off with the page on my header.

( this is the with page open )
The paper work that I am working on is our medical insurance
coverage. We have a huge deductible but we also kind of have
a secondary insurance.

( this is the next page)
The secondary is kind of like insurances that you have money
from your pay put into a medical spending account.  Well we
do not have an account what we do is wait for what is called an
EOB explanation of benefits.

( this is with the mat taken out)
We take the information on the EOB and write it all down
on a special form. Each form has only three spaces so when
we have a hospital visit it will take a mountain of forms.

( this is the next page)
I used eight forms to get all my information down. I don't
understand why we just can't fax them a copy. That would
be to easy. Grrrr. It's things like these that stress me out and
give me a headache that I don't even feel like crafting or
blogging.

( here is the page with the tags taken out so that the
mat can be seen)
All I have left to do is get my paper work sent to the secondary
insurance and wait and see how much more of my hospital
bill gets paid. Then I will know what is left that I will have
to pay out of pocket.

( the page opened up to see the inside)
Wish me luck because my hospital bill was over twelve
thousand for a one night stay and some tests.

( the tag taken out to see the rest of the page)
Sorry for my rant everyone. Hope you are all still with
me because I'm at the end of my mini share. The last
picture is of the back cover.

Hope you all like my mini. Until the next time. Have A
Splendid Day!!!!!

Prima paper bag mini

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
Hope to find you all doing well. I am doing well
especially because I am posting just about every
day.
I have been working on some mini albums. This one
was done using the Stationers Desk stack by Prima.

I know this picture isn't the greatest but it will
have to do.  Some of the pages have pockets and
photo mats for plenty of pictures.

 This page has a flip up page.

This is what it looks like when flipped up.

This page has some larger tags and photo mat

With the photo mat taken out.
 
 
I don't want the post to be to long that it is boring,
so I am splitting the mini into two posts. Part two
will come later.
Hope you like my mini. Until my next post

Ice Cream anyone?

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers!
Hope to find you all doing well today. I'm doing good
other than having a full day. I got so into creating that
I almost forgot to post a blog. Sorry that I'm a little late
in posting today.
My card that is seen in the pictures is a get well soon
card. I am playing with some of my Spellbinders dies
and trying to layer.

The stamp set that I used I have actually had it for
some time now. I won the stamp set about a year ago
and am just now getting around to playing with it.
It's a Papertrey Ink set called Comfort Food.
I am trying really hard to use what is in my stash and
not buy to much supplies. I think I am doing pretty
good thus far.
I am looking into getting into a Saturday market that
happens every weekend and starts in mid April. Hopefully
that will keep my mojo going and I will stay creative.
Besides my mojo in tact maybe I can make some money.
.....LOL.....
I'll see what happens.
 
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Sending hugs

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
Hope to find you all doing well and doing something
fun.
Here is another card that I created. I'm using stamp sets
and cardstock that has been in my stash for a while.

I'm trying to use my dies a bit more and trying to add
layers. Kind of hard for me since I like the simple things
in life. Kind of a plain Jane. I hope you like this card.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!

Birthdays and Butterflies

Hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
Hope to find you well rested and ready for another work
week.
The weather was so nice here that I actually cooked outside.
Nothing like a BBQ. I made hamburgers and hotdogs one
day and steak the next. It was delicious. I am so ready for
spring and summer to get here.
Here is another card that I made for a challenge I love
the butterflies that are on the ribbon. I am having fun
going through my craft supplies and using up some of
my stash. The sentiment is stamped on Spellbinders
Dies. It is actually two different die sets stacked. I
think that it turned out really nice.
Hope you like my card.
Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!
