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?

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!

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.

By the Bay Masuline Cards

Today's share are a couple of cards I made using the By The Bay Designer Series Papers.  Yes,  this is retired, but I decided to pull my tote with my card class supplies to finish using up what I had prepared.  

These two cards show off the opposite side of the papers.  I like this technique because sometimes it's hard to decide which side to use!  I pulled colors from the papers to coordinate for layering and stamping.  These can easily be switched to Father's Day, Thinking of You, Thanks, etc.  

Come back on Monday for more inspiration!

Welcome to New Home

Today's share are cards I made for my friend, Sue Vannier.  She is a realtor and wanted some Welcome cards for new home buyers. 

I had a bunch of keys that I no longer knew what they went to, so I used those as samples for Sue to insert the new house keys!  

I used the retired Welcome Neighbor designer series papers from long ago.  I think these turned out cute! Let me know what you think, please.

Happy Crafting,

Variety of Cards

I'm sharing a few cards that my friend, Julie, and I put together just for fun.  We took scraps, Saying Something Mix & Match  Ephemera, and put these together. 

I will be posting these individually in my store.  If you'd like more information on these cards, please contact me.
