Forever....Mini Book

Happy TGIF!! Glad we made it through the week!! It has been a fun week and I have learned a lot for my new position. It has been so nice to not feel the pressure of doing art as sometimes my muse isn't there and frankly the ideas have been less than flowing.

This is the last pages of the mini book I created. The images are by Altered Pages. I used a variety of pattern papers, images from Inka Stamps, epoxy word stickers, flourish stickers, Prima flowers, and K&Co rhinestones.

Enjoy!

A Real Crackerjack!

I seem to be having trouble with my entries posting. This was to post Wednesday but didn't. I am posting this late Thursday night.

It is Wednesday and this week is flying by!! I hope each of you is having a fantastic week!! I am settling into my new job and having so much fun at it. I know I am going to have to do a bit of stamping soon and I will. It sure is nice to have a choice to do so.

This is card is made with an image and saying by Artistic Outpost. The pattern paper by Creative Imaginations.

Have a fantastic day!!! Enjoy!!

From the Funny Farm...

For some reason this didn't post on Monday. So I am posting it late Thursday night....Sorry about it...don't know wy.
Hope you all survived the weekend. My weekend was busy...too much to do and so little time. Just want to reassure each of you that I will continue to post to my blog. I want to keep in touch with each of you!!

You wouldn't believe what I went to this weekend. The Roller Derby...a woman's team, too!! Yes, it exists and it exists in Louisville. It is much different than what I say in my younger days. I am not sure it the actually "game" was more interesting or if it was all those attending. It was a bizarre crowd. If you get a chance to see it do!

This is a card I made with an image and saying by Artistic Outpost. The pattern paper is by Colorbok and it is embellished with mini brads by Makin Memories.

Enjoy!

Big Announcement...

I have a big announcement to make! I have known for quite some time that I haven't been entirely happy with what I have been doing with my art. It really became evident when I had my knee replacement surgery...had too much time to think! Even though at the time I realized how unhappy I was and that I needed a change I still wasn't ready to do anything about it then. Well the time finally came and I just knew I had to! I know you all sensed my unhappiness and still you stuck with me!

With that said... I have accepted the position as Advertising Manager with Hearts In Touch. I am excited and really looking forward to what this position will bring. As far as the designing, I have done it for years and am ready to take a break. Doing this position will allow me to be involved in stamping and will give me time to really get back to doing the art I want without having to meet deadlines. It will be quite a change.

I will still be here posting and who knows I just might post a masterpiece (LOL).

Road Trip...

Good "Monday" Morning!! Yesterday was Father's Day and I hope that you were able to spend it with your father celebrating the day. I do know some of us have fathers that are no longer with us. My father passed away in 1997 and I think about him a lot...Father's Day and his birthday always bring extra thoughts of him to mind on these days. I hope you were able to be with your father and that it was a special day for him. My father may not be here physically but is here in spirit. Happy Father's Day!!

This card was created with an image and saying by Artistic Outpost. The pattern paper is by My Minds Eye and the gray cardstock is done with the CuttleBug Houndstooth embossing folder. The flourish sticker is by EK Success.

Enjoy!

All Star...

Happy Friday!! I am soooo glad that it is Friday! Let's see what is so wonderful about it....well my mom is out of town for a little over the week and I have the house to myself. Lots of time to create without interruption. In fact, today is the first day in 3 weeks that I have had hours of creating.
Plus, I am cooking dinner for a guy I am dating and hope I don't burn it! Seriously, I hope it will be a good evening.

The card I created is with images by Artistic Outpost. The pattern paper is Basic Grey. The card is embellished with brown mini brads and an "All Star" dome sticker by K&Company.

Enjoy!!! Have a fantastic weekend!!
