Michelle at Shabby Creations came throu again. I felt like I needed a new design to get my mojo back. I love what she did in just about 30 hours. She is so easy to work with and the prices are resonable. I have always went with the custom stuff, but she has some nice premade things too.

Crazy Week at work, but no school Friday......
Never too Late to Post... Week old
Last weekend I gathered on Saturday with some crafting angels. Even if they are not all TAC angels anymore, they are still angels in my eyes. It is all to be about the love and excitement about crafting. Well these ladies have the wow!!!!
I was nervous about making a card for the shoebox activity. How can I make a card for these other angels to make. They all have had published work and are more experienced in card making than me. Well mine turned out ok, it was amazing how everyones was so different. (Except the like of bows. HA! HA!, mine ended up being knots)
My swap used more mimi paper, TAC stamp Dear Friend, I added a sentiment today. Notice the staples, oldie but goodie. This is actually a remake of the card from last week. Tried using the copic markers today. I need more practice.
Barb's Card - I love how she use a simple, but elegant design. Ok her sample looks better. The sentimant on her's is straight. But that's the fun of making it yourself. Modifications by mistake and or on purpose. I love how the black background paper is just slightly bigger. Almost makes it look like a marker was used.
Laurie's Card - This is one of my favorite new TAC sets. This boy is just adorable. The twine, and button was the fun, but final touch.
Jen's Card - I love this card, but you may want to look at Jen's sample on her blog not mine. I was a little challenged on this one. My fingers where not working. Oh and I need practice on bow's.
and Amy's Card - I really like this color combanation. Yes another bow, or should I say Knot.....

What a wonderful day!
Today was a wonderful day. Talking and creating with friends. I have my mojo back and hope that I can post more and create more. I am going to work on creating my blog to represent me and all the fun crafting can be instead of a business and chore to do these things.

What I have been doing
I have found some time here and there, mostly on Saturdays before October. Well, it is hard to find gifts for everyone at work. So last year I made a sample of cards for different occasions. So for this year hear is a few of the cards I have made so far. I make 35 of each card. They seemed to be a hit, so I have made some this year to. I also have a sympathy card, wedding card, thank you, and more birthdays that I am in the works of finishing also.

Hair - Crazy hair day!

Teenage boy's. Well I thought I would share some lovely pictures of my son. I so need to start scrapbooking again.
The first picture was May of 08 and the second picture is Jan. of 09. His 12th birthday. The hair. I so want it like it use to be when I had control.
Later I will post his recent haircut. Yes a haircut, not short but better than it was. He is growing up so fast. 7th grade this year. Seems like Kindergarten was yesterday.
Maybe I will post my haircut too, but first I need to figure out how to style it, Of course I liked it when I walked out of the salon. But I need the idiots guide to fixing hair, because it never looks even close to how the stylist does it.
The cereal box is kinda funny. One of his friends gave him a box of cereal. Because just out of the blue he will say the word cereal. I don't know how do you explain what almost teenagers do.

Inspiration - SWAP card
Don't forget to checkout the blog candy posted on the side. My blog Candy will run until July 6.
This is one of my favorite sets from Serendipity, edge design (T-3002), stamped and embossed with black emobossing powder (S-771). The papers are the basic cardstock, black (V-215), scarlet (V-237) and white ultrasmooth (V-222). The sentiment is from the new catalogue Hostess Set C, thinking of you (TC-3128) This set is wonderful and just the reason to sign-up for hostess club or a funshop. The ribbon is from the fun black and white collection (B-222). I am so happy all the ribbon is carried over to the new catalogue. I love our ribbon. The bunches I used were Extra Jumbo Circle punch (D-72) and Super Jumbo Scallop punch (D-704). Oh! can't forget the little detail at the bottom with the Cloud scissors (F-306). So simple but adds alot.
