 I'm off to a scrapbook retreat here in Branson, so I hope to have some new content soon.  For now, here are a few more cards that I revamped because they didn't sell.  

Let me know what you think of these cards. . . 



These cards are going to my sister, Linda.  She wants 12 cards with this verse on them.

Rough Times

It's been a really rough month.  I've had issues with my blood sugars since getting two steroid shots too close together in time.  Then I received my shot in my lower back on the 19th of June.  My baby girl, the last of our breeding pups, was put down on June 30th.  It's been very hard for me to get motivated on crafting. 

However, when customers want cards, I get busy making them for the customer.  Today's share is just a few of the cards I made for my sister, Linda.  Her request was a variety of cards with a certain phrase on the front.  Let me know what you think!



These cards were "designed" but I just had to put them together.  Sometimes when I'm down, I cut pieces and put them in an envelope and finish creating the card when I need it.  I'm grateful I can do a little at a time.  

Happy Crafting,

Desiree

Hello

I apologize to all my followers.  I've been having some rough times this month.  My epidural fluoroscopic shot in my back last month was given in the wrong spot.  My pain doctor was very surprised.  He's scheduled me for the 19th so I hope this one works as well as the one I received in November.  My husband has had some seizure like symptoms, so we're heading to specialist on Tuesday.  



Many thanks to Carolyn, a friend who is not on Facebook.  She sent me this card with a beautiful note inside.  A reminder that even though I don't feel good, I can still reach out to others with my cards!  

Happy Crafting,

Rainy Day

It's a dreary day here today.  Dogs got me up at 4:30 due to thunderstorms.  Of course, with that I have arthritic pain in my back and down my legs.  Won't be crafting today.  

But I will share a couple of cards I modified with the help of my friend, Sandra.  These cards weren't selling, so while we talked, she walked me through coloring the trees and the leaves.  I will share the trees cards on Monday!




I hope you enjoy the upgrades!

Two Tea Bag Holder

This is what I call my Two Tea Bag holder.  But you can be creative and use this as a gift bag.  How?




Simply remove the tea and put a set of earrings on cardboard and place inside one pocket.  Then add a matching necklace on cardboard and slip in the other pocket!

You can also use these for gift cards, little love notes, or Ghirardelli chocolates!  What else can you think of for these?

Happy Crafting,

Stand Up Post It Notes

Today's share are some post it notes that I like to use for inspiration.  These stand up so the person using these will see that inspiration every time they use their post it notes.








The nice thing is they can replace the post it notes when they run out!

Happy Crafting,

By the Bay Birthday

Today's share are a couple of more cards I crafted using pieces of By the Bay papers.  I layered a strip of coordinating paper and then placed my clams on top.  Using the new arch dies, I cut my sentiment and coordinating background to highlight the sentiment.  On the insides, I placed a strip of the paper I used on the front.






On the second card, I just added two different papers and a strip of card stock where they join together.   

I hope these inspire you to be creative in your craftroom.  

Happy Crafting,
