I was inspired to make this card today because I need to practice the sentiment. We are officially down to 10 days left of summer vacation. I think we are one of the only districts to still be on vacation. I'm going to enjoy these last few days no matter what it takes because i'll be missing the girls two weeks from now.
So you want to be the lucky person to win this card?
Leave me a comment today and tell me your favorite summer memory.
I'll pick a winner tonight.
Enjoy your day...
I'm getting used to my new friend...
A gift from the hubs, so I can be with my family more and blog more than ever!
I'll be back tomorrow with a card give away.
As promised today is Free Friday download... Its a companion to This Free Download
I'm headed to my craft room to make a card with it right now. I'll have plenty of time today because my girls are big time busted from a knock down drag out fight (with bleeding lips and scratches) they had yesterday over the placement of a hairbrush on the bathroom counter. Really its about 10 weeks of summer vacation and not having a break from eachother but they insist its the hairbrush!
Sisters... I guess if you have one or are raising them its tough!
So here ya go download your Floral Let's get Together Sentiment Here Download Floral lets get together. Just click on 100% and it should print at the perfect size. Please send me some pics of what you make with it. Later on today i'll post my card.
**Edited** Here is the card I made...
This year has been one of incredible growth for my classes and kit business and I appreciate each and every one of you who come to class, purchase kits, and read my blog. I appreciate you so much that I have one last chance for you to grab up some awesome deals on past kits and a few supplies. These kits are being retired FOREVER after they sell out here. And please let them sell out, I'm choosing to have this blow out sale not only for you to get and awesome deal but to fund some new supplies for me to play with and make kits with. Out with the old and in with the new! So here's the deal on what you'll get...
One Everything Sweet Kit, One Just a Note - Delightful, One Just a Note - Happy Everything, One Cupcake Card Kit, One Card Kit (5 cards you assemble),5 already completed cards, 10 yards of ribbon, a big bag of buttons, and several other goodies of my choice(you're gonna end up with the apple cart here). In total you'd end up with 55 cards, 1 tag, 5 boxes and or bags, the ribbon, buttons and more. I promise you its a value of well over $150. I really just want it all to go to a home that will appreciate it and so I can get on with some new projects. Think of it this way... At the very least you'd have 4 note cards sets to give as gifts for the coming holidays, and more cards you could package up as sets as well plus lots of other goodies or gifts. You can click on the colored text to link to pictures of those kits. OK i'm done selling it, you're gonna love it!
Remember $150 value for ... ready... $50.00 plus 10.35 flat rate priority shipping. (a little more than 65% off) Enjoy, there's a very limited quantity. Have a beautiful day!
I have a really great story to tell about why I love doing give aways, but i'm going to tell you next week. I have to make this post quick, quick, quick!
I got several emails yesterday about other hobbies to consider and what i'm going to choose is narrowing. So today just leave me a comment and tell me about your other hobbies besides crafting. I already know you like crafting :). Tomorrow i'll give away these cards to one lucky comment.
Have a great day!
I am... Looking for a new hobby. It can't be anything that has to do with crafting. Please leave me your suggestions in the comments. I can't wait to hear what you think.
I can't... Stop listening to this Have You Ever. On Alis blog last week I linked up to her song "The Story" which I also love but Have You Ever is my favorite. It just makes me happy... Maybe I should take up yodeling, but my voice stinks!
I tackled... a monsterous to do list this weekend. Feels good to take care of many loose ends.
I need... so many things, but I think i'm going to take some good ol' lovin' from my girls this morning.
I want... to go on a crusie to Mexico again this fall, but hubby wants new tile for the house. Boring!
I made... a whole bunch of stuff this weekend. Like this...
Hope you have a great Monday!
I got a little crazy yesterday with my crafting and ended up making up these adorable Mini Card Kits. There's only 6 of them so you better get them quick. And here's a bonus... one of the buyers is going to get a suprise in their package because i'm going to include These matching cards that are looking for a new home in their package. Pretty good odds at 1/6.
The Mini Card Sets - Summer Fruits includes; 6 card bases(3 pink 3 white), 6 envelopes, 1 Sugar glitter citrus slice, 1 glittered watermelon slice, 6 sentiments, embellished flowers, patterned paper, ribbon, rhinestones, buttons, embroidery floss, scallop borders and misc. punched shapes.There is enough goodies here to make all 6 cards and even some extra i'm sure. One note: There are no samples or directions included, it's up to you to design your cards, but i'm sure you'll do just fine. Feel free to copy something out of my Card Gallery. They're only $10 bucks so maybe you need one for a friend too!
Things are good. Had time to reflect a bit yesterday and organize things mentally. Spent some time at Sizzix while the girls went to the movies with grandma. When I came home hubby had dinner on the stove and it was just about finished. I just have to add that I didn't even ask and it was awesome. So awesome that I had time to whip up this card from the July Kit to send to a friend.
Today I have a consultation for 200 party invites and then the whole rest of the day to get creative and play with my girls.
Do you have a special birthday coming up that you need to make a card for? Copy one of my ideas from my card gallery or maybe you want to make it really easy on yourself and sign up for my Creative Cards Homeschool. You get at least one bday card every month. Tempting huh?
Signing off for today... have a good one!
