Robot Birthday




Well, it was a nice rainy cool day here, that was so amazing, especially in July in New Mexico! Anyway, my craft room was bearable- temp wise- so I made up some boys birthday cards. My nephew is turning five soon, so I started with one with a 5 on it. I found these adorable robot stickers at my LCS, they caught my eye with their cuteness! Love them!

Counting Blessings

This week has been a challenge financially and I have been tempted to sulk about it, but I looked through my stamps and saw the Add to your Joy stamp, and decided to make a card with it and count my blessings instead of the blows to the bank account. I do have a lot to be thankful for... my family and friends most of all!

Back in the Craft Room


Wow, it has been a whole month since I last posted! June was extremely busy, I was craft lady at Vacation Bible School, that involved a week of heavy duty prep, followed by a week of crafts with 70 kids, I can't believe I am saying this- but I was crafted out! So I went to Las Vegas with my husband for a week! That was fun, but I caught a cold while there and have just recovered. Had to get back into the crafting mode yesterday as my swap groups cards were due, so I cleared off some space and got to work. This morning I woke up at 6:30 and decided to make a card with the leftovers from the swap. The theme this month was vintage, so I used some background paper that reminded me of old fabric and distressed it with a distressing ink pad. I also added old looking lace and some buttons. I am not sure if that is "vintage" but it is my take on that theme!
