Feeling refreshed

No matter how hard I tried I could not get this to come out any staighter, so I decided to just go with it.

These last two days have been so beautiful here we've been in the 80 temps. I am feeling so refreshed and energized with the gorgeous days we've had recently. This is my time of year. I love summer weather. The kids found it hard going back to school today after a week of vacation. I had the day off from work today and I have tomorrow off too. It's suppose to be nice again tomorrow. "Yay" I do have a class but only for an hour and then I get to enjoy the day.

Here is a card I worked on this week. I love this cow and I got the sketch from SCS sketch challenge, it was a week or so ago.

Supplies used
Stamps: Itty Bitty BGS, Very Punny
Inks: Basic Black
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink, WW,BB
Acessories: Pretty In Pink stampin marker, Spots and Dots cb embossing folder push tack for piercing and black gingham ribbon.

This card was fun to make and I like the way it turned out. I also love the cuttlebug and the embossing folders, they are real easy to use. I haven't triee any of the die cut pieces yet, they look more complicated to use.Thanks for looking , til next time, have a good night

Paperclip ideas

I've been seeing a lot of these and seen some real cute ones , so I decided to try my hand at creating a set of these. This is what I came up with . Not too bad for my first set, maybe I'll use thse for gifts along with something else small, especially for teachers and secretaries or someone who works in an office. Bookmarks would work if I did the real jumbo clips.

Not much to say, I just got finished making decorative paper clips. This was the first time I made them. They came out kind of cute. I will make a point to upload them sometime soon. We'll be making them this Sunday, depending on the weather. We're suppose to be in for a big storm this weekend I think starting Sunday so the class may be cancelled, we'll have to play it by ear.

School vacation starts here for the kids, it will be a welcoming brake from the monotney. I won't have to rush them out the door, they will be able to sleep. I'll have to work, but it will still be easier than when they need to get to school. Well got to go, it's getting late and I needto be in for 6:00 am tomorrow. Have a good night, til next time

April 12th

Well, here it is April 12th and can you believe we're getting snow and sleet and it's cold. We're in for another storm on Monday.The kids were disappointed because they had to go to school.

Anyways here is a card that we did when I went to a meeting in Rhode Island. I like the colors together. I was thinking on doing this at my class this Sunday but using the flower from All The Best instead because I don't own that set. Although I only have one person attending at the moment so I don't know whether to cancel it or just do the class. I think this would be pretty as a Mother's Day card.

I've been doing a lot of stamping but none to put here because I sent them out already and forgot to upload them before sending them out. Hopefully I can stamp some more and corat my blog, also I rally nd to update this more often.
