Working Hard

Only 2 more days until the big day... My first craft fair! I can't wait. I am working hard making some paper clip bookmarks in all sort of different varieties. I wanted to make more monogram choices, but I don't know if I will get around to it. Plus, I want to make a sign and some business cards for special orders... So much to do and so little time. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day since it's the only night I will have to devote to the cards and such since I will be going out Friday night for my birthday.

Speaking of that, I decided to post a my "Birthday Fishes" card. Not only in honor of my birthday, but also of my husband's birthday (which is today) and my best friend's husband's birthday (which is tomorrow).

Back to work for me!

A "Little One"

Since it is already midnight, I am only going to post a "little one" tonight. This cute baby card was super, duper simple. I had the patterned paper left over from a Mother's Day card that I made last year, I can't remember where I got the cute little baby feet from - but I am thinking that it was a gStudio set, and the sentiment is from Papertrey's Mixed Messages Set.

I am going to try my best to start my "recipe" is for all of the cards I make. Unfortunately, I've never done that before, so these next cards that I post will probably be guesses like this one was.

Until next time...

Mother's Day Cards

I finally got all of my card pictures off my camera! Yea! As I was looking at everything I have made over the past two weeks, I actually have a sense of pride. Even the simplest cards, actually look very pretty. I am so excited for next weekend. Now I just have about 75 more cards to make, 25 more monogram sets, and to figure out pricing. Some of the cards took a couple of hours to make and others took a manner of minutes, so do I price them all differently or keep it all a steady price... Decisions, decisions... I will still have to think about that...

So tonight I have decided to share my mother's day cards (April, if you are reading this at least you will get to see what your card looks like :p). I was going to do a different card for everyone but after I made this card I decided it was too pretty not to give to everyone. I cased it from one of the Papertrey DT members, but alast I did not write down who created it and am being too lazy to track it down.

So now I am off to do some photo restoration work and then hopefully I will fall asleep!

Sweet dreams all.

Work All Day...

That is what I have been doing NON-STOP! Since my mother-in-law has suggested that we set up a booth at a Art Show on June 7th, I have been a card making fool. I have around 78 cards and 20 sets of monogrammed cards. I want to have at least 150 more cards and 30 to 50 more sets of monogrammed cards before the show. So because of that every spare minute is pretty much spent making cards. Which is something that I love, but tomorrow I go back to work so not much "free time."

At least at work I will be able to get the pictures off my camera (since my old computer is sitting in my living room, my artwork is stuck on my camera). I promise I will have some things to share soon. And then since I will have TONS of new cards, I will work on posting more frequently.

Well, I need to work on "Run Central's" ads, so adios for now!

As I Promised...

... so here they are - the cards that I made last weekend!




And let me tell you, for the last hour, I have been looking on some of my favorite card inspiration sites and I am aching to pull all my things out to make more cards. Unfortunately, it is getting late, so I will have to wait until tomorrow.

Up too Late

Well, my crazy husband decided to clean a portion of our bedroom about an hour ago and now he has stuff all over the bed and any portion of our floor. GRRR! I am so sleepy, but if I go into the bedroom I'm going to start cleaning and then I won't be able to go to bed, so I have decided to type a little blog.

This weekend I made a few cards :) It was the first time in awhile that I have felt some inspiration! I'll put them tomorrow. My favorite one has a ladybug on it.

Well, I can barely keep my eyes open, so I think I will curl up on the couch until the bed is cleared off.

Sweet Dreams all!

Gift Cards Galore

I have ALMOST finished my first "order" of gift cards. This weekend I put the final touches on each of them, including stamping a little sentiment on each of the message cards. The last thing I have to do is write/stamp "Avon Gift Card" on them and then I get to hand them over.

This whole experience has motivated me so much. I can't wait until this weekend when I can craft some more!
