4th of July coming soon ...
Here is the card that I will be sending off to my family and friends tomorrow, so that they will receive it in time for the 4th of July festivities. They will all be meeting up outside of Happy, Texas for the holiday; however, I will not be in attendance as the prices for flights are too high and the trip to short to justify it. Enjoy!

Happy Hump Day!
So, over half way through the week and almost to the weekend ... yeah!
Today was really busy at work as a couple of projects sort of blew up and of course I was the one who had to put them back together. I have worked really hard over the past year to get "ahead" of the curve and both of these projects were planned in April and have been continually pushed back for all sorts of reasons. Will they ever happen????
Well, things were happening in the studio and here is one of the cards from the session:
supplies: Jenni Bowlin Tickets paper, We R Memory Keepers Nook Paper, Memories Complete Sweet Apple, punch from UK, brown seam binding, A Muse Mini Butterfly stamp, Jenni Bowlin green chipboard flower, vintage button and Adirondack ink - Vintage Photo

Working my way through the to do list ...
Okay ... the last two weeks or so have been fairly light at work. So, I am trying to take advantage of this slow period to get a lot of things crossed off my to do list. Today I actually finished writing a report that I started over a year ago ... can you believe it? The project manager left the company and no one was hounding me for it, so it kept getting pushed to the bottom of the pile. Today it found the light of day and got completed ... yeah!
Here is a quick card from the studio:
supplies: A Muse Kitchen Blue notecard, cardstock – white and black, A Muse Black ink, A Muse stamps – Lamp, Light Up My Life and Ornate Pattern BG, Adirondack ink – Aqua and Memory Box Jewels – Sky Blue

Trying to make boy cards ...
Last month when I meet up with my sister, sister-in-law and mother in Rhode Island I took the 100+ cards that I had made since January with me so that I could give them away to a good home. The feedback that I got from my sister was ... I need more boy cards. Let me just say she has three boys and she couldn't see sending a Happy Birthday card with a Ketto fairy on it with one of her boys to a friend's party without them coming home with a split lip or black eye. Okay ... I love my nephews and don't want to endanger their lives so I am starting to work on making more masculine boy cards. Hard to do ... but here is my first attempt.
Here is a quick card from the studio this evening ... a more manly boy card don't you think?supplies: A Muse Vintage Black notecard, A Muse Red Polka Dot paper, cardstock – white and black, A Muse Black ink, A Muse stamps – Strong Man, Globe and You are the Friend, Uniball Silver pen and the following Copic markers
