Finished at Last!

I have been busy since the week before Easter with Easter preparations. During holy week, I received my annual letter from the District Committee of Ordained Ministry. I have spent the last several days writing madly answering five very important questions for the year. As I was wrestling with these questions, I kept thinking why am I jumping through hoops for a job that will soon only be part of part time? I would have much rather been making cards this week, but alas, such is life, eh? Yep yep. Tomorrow is my 14 year wedding anniversary so I don't know how much card making I will get done. Have a great Friday!

*Be the Change card: Tag and paper ribbon by k & company. Be the change sentiment stamp.
* In Dreams card: Tag, paper ribbon, and button brad by k & company. In dreams sentiment stamp

New Stuff

Ok, this will be a reasonably short post. I got some new stuff yesterday at Michael's so I wanted to share the card I made this morning...enjoy! Oh! And I am so excited!! I found a brand new Cricut on eBay yesterday (I actually waited up till the wee hours of this morning to bid on it) for less than half the retail cost. It comes with one cartridge to start, but that's OK...eBay will come in handy for finding other cartridges. It shipped today! I will have it by the end of the week! Woohoo!!!






*Thinking of You Card: Paper by My Mind's Eye, Butterfly tag by k & company (wild saffron series). Thinking of You stamp and Sending You Hugs and Kisses by Hero Arts. Rich Cocoa ink by Tsukineko (Memento). Azurite ink by ColorBox Chalk. Paper ribbon by k & company (wild saffron series)

Virescent?

Virescent: becoming green. From my favorite website http://phrontistery.info/colours.html I love when things begin to turn green .... the grass .... the Chia herb garden that I recently planted (yeah, there's sprouts!). Imagine my surprise today then that it was raining, then hailing, then snowing the rest of the day. Unbelievable. Its the middle of April. I went to Dubuque to meet up with my friend who flew in from Chicago to see her sick grandpa. We had some Chinese buffet for lunch and hit up everything from the mall to Target to Walmart to Michael's. Ahh, Michael's. Paper-crafting bliss when I can't get to my sort of local scrapbook shop. I picked up some stickers, and tags by k & company. That company is amazing. The artists they have are incredibly talented. I haven't made anything today. I think this week will be sparse in the card making because there is a lot going on for work. I have to finish paperwork for the District Committee, plus I got a phone call to officiate a funeral on Thursday. Breathe. Once I get through the first half of the week, it will be ok. Breathe. Remind me to breathe.
Here are a few cards I have been working on the last couple of weeks. Thanks for looking!

*Follow Your Heart Card used felt stickers from k & company. The card base is standard white core paper by Close to My Heart. Blue cardstock from DCWV. The sentiment is by DCWV (vellum quote stack sentiments). I sent this card to a friend of mine who lives in Bellingham. She rocks so I thought she needed a rocking card!
*Thanks for the Memories Card used a heart punch from Creative Memories. The stamp is by Annette Watkins from the late 90's. Standard white core papers by Close to My Heart sanded with Close to My Heart sanding papers.

Been Busy

I have been making quite a few cards of late, and not looking at many words to be snarky with.  Oooh, that could be the word of the day: Snarky. Sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner. (www.m-w.com)

Here are the cards I've been working on the last few days.

Happy Mother's Day stamp by Printworks.  Paper and stickers by DCWV.  Paper sanded by sanding tools from CTMH.

The felt thank you is a sticker from K & Company.    I used Coffee Shimmers over the Thank You stamp.
