Angie girls

I'm in love with these stamps! I love their sass and the themes they come in.  I have quite a little collection going (I have the teacher, photography, cat lover, "Wonder Woman" a sassy wine drinker, two tea/coffee drinkers and one of the witches).  So I stamped a bunch and colored them all and have put together a couple cards so far.  I think I did a couple more but I can't find the photos on my phone so I have to retake them.  I love how I can make a pretty simple card and add them on and they look fabulous. If you love them as much as me you can go to unitystampco.com to purchase them.

Car themed cards

So the craft show I'm doing is a car show too.  So I decided to do some car themed cards to include.  The first one I used a tim Holtz stamp and I stamped it in 3 colors (whisper grey, slate gray and black) overlapping slightly as I went.  Then I had this awesome sentiment in my stash I think it's from Hampton art.  I thought I made an amazing little birthday card.  The other two are completely close to my heart product (I'm trying to use up my stash of retired product).  I think they came out awesome.  The cars were colored using our new alcohol ink markers (which I only bought two if because the last ones didn't do so well). These ones are awesome so far.  Only time will tell.

Business card holder

So I was looking for an idea for a business card holder on Pinterest and I saw this.  Someone took a book and folder every page in half and it create this little stand.  So I dug through my box of vintage papers and books that I collect for altered art and found a pocket sized dictionary that has a soft cover and I went to work.  I love that I can just stink my business cards in and they are easy for customers to grab.  Sorry the picture is sooo yellow I forget to turn on my other lamp.

Foxy girl getting ready for a craft show

I have been crafting.  I always have the best intentions for my summers, but as usual life gets in the way.  I wanted to get soooo many crafty things done this summer, but instead I lived life and spent time with some great family and friends.  But the last few weeks I have been preparing for my craft show that is coming up.  Here are some cards I made to sell.  I love coloring these girls and I love it even more now that I have my huge sent of prisma colored pencils!  I will post a few more things in the next couple days that I have done in prep for the craft show.

Update

Well this summer has had it's ups and downs.  I've been battling my depression a lot more than usual this summer, but I have also had a pretty amazing time too.  We went to Prince Edward Island, Canada last week for our red knight convention.  It was amazing! We wandered the streets.

Enjoyed some seafood. 

Tried things only found in Canada including poutine and hard cranberry lemonade. 

And checked out the sites including the bottle houses....

And the beautiful coasts. 

It was amazing to spend the week on the bike even though it rained on us almost everyday.  But you have to deal with a little rain to get rainbows. Right? 

I'm happy to report I lost more weight even though I indudged in lobster rolls, clam and seafood chowder and french fries (with and without gravy and cheese).  My starting weight was 160 pounds and I am currently 143 pounds! I feel amazing, proud and happy! 

I've been crafting a little bit, but it has mostly been leftover card club kits, so nothing worth posting.  I hope I will be able to post something new soon craft wise.  I made some tie dye shirts maybe I'll post those soon.  I hope your creative juices are flowing.  I'll post soon.

A little update

So Miss Annabelle Lee is fitting in quite nicely.  She's go an amazing personality! She's cuddly and playful and Raven seems to like her so far.  She is 9 weeks old.  It's been so long that I forgot what it is like to have a kitten.  She up at all hours of the night and morning then sleeps a good chunk of the day.  I may not be getting my beauty rest but I don't really care.  Here are some pretty photos of her I edited using the Rhonna designs app of my iphone.  It's fun! I'm really enjoying it.  I even bought a couple of the add on packs.    

I will do an update on my weight loss soon.  Let's just say I'm happy with it. At the moment life is good.
