friends

Here is a couple of cards using my pond pals from artful inkables. The background was brayered in after I colored the fish & turtle and then heat embossed them . The cattails and grass were done last and colored in with markers.

drinks are on me

Here are a couple of cards I made for friends. I couldn't resist the paper when I saw it in my neighborhood stamp store. There is even ice stickles on the glasses for sugar

Sometimes you have to make the time

I looked at my blog and saw how long it had been since I've created anything. So, when I finally got a couple of days off from both jobs, I decided I would walk through my house with blinders on (so I didn't see all that needed to be done) and head to my craft room. I've been dying to try to duplicate some pictures I was sent. Here's one of the pics to the right with my card on the left.

Job update

Well... I survived my first week working in retail again. I like the pace, but everyone is trying to stay afloat in this economyany way they can. So, I got about two hours of training and then they threw me to teh wolves. I think one of the managers could tell I had just about had it. I pretty much told him that they weren't allowing me to get trained. My husband tells me its only temporary. If they don't start teaching me the ropes and rules about how things are done, It could be really temporary. The first time someone tries to write me up for something I wasn't taught, I'll probably go balistic. There, I feel better. I'm trying to get ready for a garage sale on Saturday, but will post atleast one card this week. Til then, have a great week!

Time is at a premium

Hello everyone! I start a new job today. So, I don't know how much time I will have to post. I will try to have a new idea every week. If I don't, I will probably go into withdrawls. Wish me luck! It's been 7 1/2 years since I've had to work for someone else.
Cheers!

mini chocolate box

Here's a box I made for Easter. It holds 12 mini hersheys. I've decided to change it to a Mother's day goodie for all my gal pals! They are really easy to make.

Easter cards

Here are some of the easter cards that I have created. I found this cute set at my neighborhood stamp store. So many cards to make and so little time.
