Here's the cutest Guest Designer card from Gaye. She made this darling baby theme card using her prizes from LAST year. I just love the bling she added, what a nice touch. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Would you like to see your art here? please send me a message or email with photos! I'd love to share
For the DH (Dear Hubby), "signed, sealed, delivered,...i'm yours!" I hope you already knew that but I just wanted to make you a fun card that said it. This is part of the new technique that I learned from Stampilistic this past March at the convention using Echo Park 6x6 paper pads. Kisses dear!
Here's a mini card that i made while in Dallas. I am sharing some great cards for the DH right before our anniversary this sunday. I know sometimes he will be checking my blog. I hope he has a great day--and I hope all of you have a great day. The card says "so grateful to have you in my life!" How true is that!
With our anniversary coming up, I am so excited to spend time with John this weekend. I will be out with my dear mom and Jan the first two days and then he will pick me up for a nice Sunday. Love you dear.
Here's a little humor to start off the day! HA! I just got a huge laugh out of it. I hope you do too. Perhaps I have never mentioned it here on this blog, but another hobby that I love is collecting fossils. I live in south Texas where they are readily available. And by that, I mean, you could go into the dirt in your backyard and probably find some!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Thought I would share a card with one of my favorite topics today, COFFEE!! You all know I love coffee as a topic, lol. I took an awesome class at the convention to make coffee theme cards, it was from Brass and Bliss (a.k.a. Rubbernecker). We made coffee theme cards that were also gift card holders. What fun. I look forward to sharing those with you later.

Woo Hoo, it's time for the weekend. Happy Saturday everyone. I am in the process of buying some gifts for my friends overseas now. Any suggestions? It's so hard to find things here in Texas that they don't already have. For my overseas friends, what things would you like from the USA/Texas? I need ideas of what to take to Turkiye

Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited for this weekend. I am just about five weeks from my trip so I am really starting to make a list of things that I need to get done before I go. I know it seems far away, but I really feel like I only have 10 days, (I.e. the weekend days), to get things done and ready. What's the next big event that you are getting ready for?
Here's another card using the technique from Stampalistic that I learned at the convention for taking 12 sheets of 6x6 paper and creating 8 cards in 30 minutes. What a fun class!

I am sure everyone worldwide got to see photos of the Total Eclipse that happened yesterday. What an amazing event that they say will not happen again for a very long time. I am sharing this card today, some pretty flowers on a tiny mini card that I got a whole pack of for Christmas (Like 80 blank cards and envies). TOO cute that I took many of them with me to the convention to make.

Sky gazers and the general public will soon be able to enjoy one of the most fascinating astronomical events there is: a total solar eclipse.
Eclipse of the Sun in North America--The uniqueness of this event lies in the projection of a shadow on the Earth, which occurs thanks to the Moon covering the Sun for a few moments, causing a brief period of darkness during the day. During this period, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, becomes visible, showing a slight flare around Earth’s natural satellite.
Areas located in the center of the Moon’s shadow when it hits the Earth will experience a total eclipse. The phenomenon will only be visible within a narrow path on the Earth’s surface. The total solar eclipse can only be seen in North America.
Where i live in Austin, TX happens to be in the path of totality so I will see a full eclipse. WOW.
Here's my card for the day, hmmm, wish I had some science themed cards to share....I mean, I did work for NASA....

Here's a sweet and simple card using beautiful papers from Echo Park and a technique I learned in a class during the last convention. We were taught to make 8 cards using 12 papers from a 6x6 Pad of printed papers (from Echo Park, though I guess it could translate to other companies). It was a fun class. We completed the 8 cards in less than an hour. I would say we should also be adding some bling or buttons (or LACE) on this card to give it a little pizzazz
Since we are a few days into Spring, I thought it was time for a Spring card. Here's a cutie from Simple Stories with a sweet bunny and everything. Makes me think of Easter which just passed this weekend. I hope you all had a wonderful time. Next week will mark a total solar eclipse where I live. I am in the path of totality which means we will see a TOTAL eclipse where I live. WOW, that should occur on April 8th. What a once in a lifetime event.
So here's a sweet and simple card that I did using fun papers from Echo Park. I took a class during the convention that taught us to make 8 cards in 40 minutes using half a pack (12 sheets) of Echo Park pads. How fun is that? I loved the class. I went back to my hotel (after buying some echo park 6x6 paper pads for $2 and made 48 cards!!)
Happy Sunday everyone! You know what that means, yep, time for a wonderful guest designer. Today's guest is Denise B. She got this awesome die cut set LAST year and I have been saving this super cute card that she made for Easter. Happy Easter Everyone!
Happy Saturday everyone. I hope you have a great weekend. I don't have much planned for this Easter weekend. My husband and I don't usually do much on said days. I am thankful for the Friday off, and this upcoming week will be my first full week of work in the since mid-March. Here's one of the cards that I made during my time at the convention.

Wow, I can't believe it's the last few days of March. I think this is our last day off of the year. I think after this is 8 weeks straight for the staff and the kiddos get one day off in the middle of April for Eid al-Fitr. I leave in just 54 days. Can you tell I am counting, lol? Here's a little Llama, let's all JUMP FOR JOY

Just two more school days in March! Woo Hoo. Then it's on to April. I wonder if that makes today --Payday. Hmmm. I guess a day early doesn't really matter but it is nice. Here's a pretty Thank You card that I used a while back and gave to one of my kiddos. She and her family gave me a lovely valentine. So I gave them a little thank you.
Here's a lovely card today from a PhotoPlay kit, it says, "Hello Friend" just perfect for an everyday card. Now that it's tuesday on a short week, it's half over, WOO HOO. I am hoping my friend's overseas are all receiving their goodies already.
I have received several wonderful thank yous in email and in the form of stunning cards!! thanks so much. I am saving all those cards and scanning them in so they will be shared as Guest Designer projects. I am so happy everyone is getting their goodies.

This card is one that i actually bought from an artist Gretagoo.art but told her that I loved her stamp carving so much. As you all probably guessed looking at the design. I know many of you don't like it but it's right up my alley. I had to share it. TOO cool.
Happy Saturday everyone! Today will be the last day of the convention so I will be getting up and going early. If you get there by 8am (I KNOW....) but if you get there super early you a ticket to enter in to wonderful special drawings, it's totally worth it as many people don't. One of these days, I have a good feeling. Last year I did win a drawing, not during the grand prize saturday morning, but during the regular convention. it was a wonderful gift certificate to booth that sells amazing brads and bling. WOO HOO.
I thought this card was just perfect for the day. Let's squeeze every little bit of fun out of today and enjoy the convention. I am taking classes and shopping for fun. WOO HOO. I hope the classes are as wonderful as they were last year (can you believe one of the classes is about COFFEE???) and I just love looking at all the amazing samples. The tables have wonderful "Make and takes" where you can sit down and use the manufacturer's products to create a project. (sometimes for a fee, sometime free)
Day 1 of the convention, but there's only one event, the evening registration and card making fest. We will be going for something like 7 hours lol, though I usually don't make it that long. I often work ahead or do things other than what the kits were for (for example, if they were scrapbook pages, I will make cards instead of scrapbook pages). I often finish early and then go back to my hotel, i mean, I gotta get up super early for tomorrow's event lol! Here's a card I made during last year's convention

Happy Hump Day! Today I am going to work then running home to grab my suitcase and take off for the scrapbook expo in Irving TX. Woo Hoo, Excited about that and happy to have a couple more days off even though I just had spring break. I hope I am able to get SO many cards made as I did last year, but I am trying not to hold myself to such a crazy standard. Last year I did 175 cards in 4 days. But this year I have only 3 days.

Here's a wonderful creation with one of her prizes from last year, Jean M. I just love this stamp and the background that she used. Lovely work Jean.
Last school day of spring break, though I still have the weekend to enjoy before I start back up monday. I have enjoyed the week and I am super excited to be going to the convention on Wed. What's funny is that now the countdown to Turkiye is 69 days so I am almost MORE excited how close that is.

Well, i really wish spring break had been next week, so that it would have corresponded with the convention. Instead I have to take time off to go to the convention. I wasn't too thrilled about using my days off, but I am pretty excited to go to the convention next week. Are you ready to see all the projects that i make? I really need to have some NON-LACE time to sit down and craft a bunch of wonderful cards. I feel like I don't get that much time anymore.

Happy Saturday everyone! I wonder what other schools in the world have a spring break like the USA does? or do they also have a week off in the spring semester of school? anyone? I have LOTS of lace to cut and wrap this week. Whew. I am going to the scrapbook convention next week, so I need to be ahead of the game.
