V-Day!

gearing up for V-Day...

I'm working on some cards to have to sell as class-sets for teachers.

10 cents a card. 

Seriously... does it get any cheaper? (now, that's without an envelope, but still!)

The beauty of it is that you can order just as many as you need, instead of having to buy a whole other box when really, you were just short three. :)

Sheet Music Christmas Trees

the finished product

what it starts out looking like - a pile of squares!

I have recently begun making Christmas trees out of vintage sheet music.  I am using buttons as the topper to the tree to accent it without taking attention away from the music.

well...come back.

so... I've been missing on this blog for a while.

Since the last post, things have been okay business wise, just also uber-busy in my everyday life... new job, on-the-go toddler, grad classes... it's been wild here. 

This summer I actually took a break and enjoyed being home with C.W. and my husband and soaking up family-togetherness. :) :)

Now... holiday season is upon us, and so.... here we go!

Pictures coming of my newest endevor - Christmas trees made of vintage sheet music - coming soon!!

Oh, and Welcome Back.  I'm hoping you'll Come Back soon :)

Card of the Week

In honor of a birthday girl this week...

but she's not a baby anymore!

Happy First Birthday to our Niece "A"!!

Yard Sale Earnings

Well, my friend Bridget and I shared a table at an event on Saturday.

I was able to make some money ~ which is a great improvement over the last thing I did... where not a single person came by and participated... what a disaster...

Anyway, we had fun, the weather was great, and I handed out a lot of business cards!

Horray!

Card of the Week

The card this week is in a plastic bag...

because it's coming to the 'yard sale' at South Western High School on Saturday.

It's one of many sets of cards I'll have for sale there.

Card of the Week

these are some birthday invitations I am working on to sell at an upcoming craft fair.

(more on that later!)

The invitation part is on the back of this shaped card.  They come with matching envelopes. :)

Card of the Week

my first card ever.

Made back in the day with my sister Alison and our friend Marisa, who took us to this stamping party that her mom was going to.

What a LONG time ago!

Cad of the Week

I used the stamp on the background paper, and also cut one out stamped on contrasting paper.  Using a puffy type of adhesive, the brown flower square is 'popping' off the paper.

The "feel better" is made with the cuttlebug.

Card of the Week

My son loves saying Thank-you with this sign - it's as easy as blowing a kiss!

Card of the Week

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!

Card of the Week

My husband went fishing this weekend since it was so nice outside!

(He wasn't fly fishing, like this card if showing, but I figured it was close enough!)

Card of the Week

Here is a birthday card that I made for an order a while back.

There are little rhinestone stickers to add a little bling. :)

Card of the Week

Happy Weekend!

Organizing...

This week's project has been to put a "copy" of the stamps in each set in the box.

Some of them were done, some weren't.

I'm tired of trying to keep a mental file of where they all go - so this will *hopefully* help!

:)

cricut

This weekend my in-laws came to visit.  My mother-in-law brought along her cricut machine, and I was able to do some St. Patrick's Day and Easter designs on it!

Look for the cards I made coming soon to "card of the week"

<3

Happy Valentine's Day!

Um...

Well... it was "grandparent weekend" here.

Which meant all the craft stuff I had thrown everywhere in the basement had to be cleaned up.

So... other then card of the week... there's not a lot going on to report.

But here is my post to keep up with the resolution.

Hopefully something more interesting will happen next week! :)

Card of the Week

These are packs of the "lunchbox love letters" I mentioned in my post last week.

They are for sale here and they are a set of 10 for $5.00

They are 3.5 squares with a different stamp on each.  They do not come with envelopes - just a "note" to put in a lunchbox or leave on the counter to "share the love". :)
