No Time...Sorry!

Sorry I haven't posted in over 2 weeks. Life has been soooo busy....I'm sure many of you can relate. We had our neighborhood garage sale this past week and I spent most of my waking hours getting ready for that. Now I will spend most of my waking hours taking it all down! My DH just finished his Masters Degree so I am throwing a party this week to celebrate with friends and family. I am doing an openhouse for a neighbor next weekend showcasing SU! products, so I'm hoping to get some samples done and posted here for you all to see.

Plus, my youngest is 13-months and the second I walk into my craft room, she starts to cry. I don't even have a chance to email with people because she is in here crawling up my legs or trying to type on the keyboard herself. I know it's just a stage, but I am used to having some "me" time, but life just isn't allowing it right now. By the end of the night when the girls go down, I am so tired, I'm lucky if I change out of my clothes....sad...I know.

Thanks for bearing with me as I take this short break. I'll be back next week with more to show you! I hope you are all enjoying your summer.

Friend


More Designer Paper!! As I did with the Father's Day card, I kept the same layout, just changed the stamp set to the "Friend" stamp from the For A Friend (Hostess Level 1). You could use just about all of the stamps from this set with this layout, they would fit perfectly. I used the Cuttlebug folder for the background and the So Saffron DP and added a little pearl for some "bling". I really like this layout....and hope you don't get too sick of it. I'll be using it some more :) Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by.

Father's Day


We leave for our vacation today, and there's still lots to do, but I thought I would post this real quick. I'm going to try to get some other posts ready and use draft.blogger....we'll see how that goes. Hopefully I'll have more "reading material" for you while I am gone!

Here are a couple of Father's Day cards that I made. I have tons of the DP paper, but never seem to use it. Well, while I was doing my blog surfing one day, I found this card on Nancy Riley's blog. I changed some details on the card a little bit, but pretty much kept the same basic layout. I'll definitely be using this layout some more because I have TONS of paper to use!!



Enjoy your day....thanks for stopping by!

For You


Here is a card that I made that I cased from the Stampin' Success Catalog a month or two ago (I can't remember!!) These are quick and easy cards to make. You use a 12x12 sheet of paper and cut 3" strips and then score in half to make your card 3 x 6. I used the Tart & Tangy stamp set from the current mini catalog, along with Certainly Celery and Pink Passion. Also used the Scallop punch, scallop scissors and my CAD to make the design at the bottom of the card.


If you make some of these, I'd love to see them!
