Simple, but Fabulous Cards!


I really love these cards. They are so simple, yet something about them makes them fabulous. Well, at least I think so...

I have a card workshop in the afternoon tomorrow, and my customers will be making each one of these. The Triangle Tri-Fold was inspired by Kim's tutorial. I think these little cards are so cute. I made mine 4 x 4. I used Evensong and the Gratitude stamp set. The Notebook card was my version of the card in the Idea Book. I used Coffee Stain and Circle Around stamp sets. The third card has the Juniper Damask B&T paper from Perfect Day. I love the Cocoa ribbon with this one! The clear buttons have B&T paper attached to them using Liquid Glass. I also dyed the Colonial White Waxy Flax Juniper. My friend Misty gave me that idea! :-)
I haven't completed a scrapbook page in a long time. I've been so busy working the business side of things, that I forget to take time to play! I've also just been so busy with the kids. We've been doing a lot of fun outdoor activities because it is finally cooling down here a little bit.
I am almost on my 100th post. I will definitely be getting some blog candy ready!

Tagged

I have been tagged by Laurel. I usually skip over these, but I am going to be good this time and at least follow rules 1 and 2. :-)

Here are the rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. OMG, I am so like Laurel and Lynn. I really don't enjoy cooking. I try to like it, but I hate the mess and it also stinks that my kids are really picky eaters.

2. At the age of 14, my friend and I were ranked #1 in our state's tennis doubles division.

3. I am good at keeping secrets, but not so good at keeping things a surprise. Does that even make sense?

4. My scraproom needs a lot of help. It is a complete disaster!

5. My sister and I live 13+ hours from our parents, but at least we live in the same neighborhood.

6. I love coffee and Coca-Cola. Both are part of my daily routine. I know I need to cut back, but I can't seem to do it.

7. I know all the songs on the kids show "Hi-5." They are very catchy... :-)

OK, so if you want to play along, follow the rules at the top!

Memory Box (2)


Don't you just love this Memory Box? I put it together this evening. I love how well the box takes the paint. I was inspired by a 2peas you tube video.

Notebook Cards


*Ok, so I have been MIA for about a week. We had a busy beginning of the week with school/playdates, etc. Then, Scarlett got sick and Bryson isn't feeling that great now.*

The cards were inspired by the Notebook cards in the new CTMH catalog. I won the stamp sets, Code It and Coffee Stain, at convention. I wanted to use them and needed a little inspiration. I also used the new rubons on both cards. Gotta love those!

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy weekend!

Perfect Day








Here are my "almost complete" Perfect Day Layouts. One lacks a title, and the other two lack journaling. I had to get them "ready" to show at the workshop last night. I had 13 kits sold for this month's event and 10 attendees to the workshop. We had a lot of fun! Now, you understand why I haven't posted in the past few days. I meant to take pictures of yesterday's set-up, but I forgot! Oh well...

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
