Hi Everyone,
Wow it has been a while.  Today I am making a Welcome to your New Home Card for friends of ours that live in Canada during the summer and here in Florida in the Winter.  This is the first time I have used blogger since the format changed and already I wiped our my signature.  Oh well, I will figure it out sooner or later.  Anyway the card today is an A2 size. I think the post on the birdhouse is a cute touch.  What do you think?

The paper is all from recolections
Stamp is from All Night Media and I have had it for a long time.
Grass cut from Create a Critter
Sentiment is computer generated.
You can watch the process below:

Thanks for watching.
See you later.....................play nice

Embossing on dark cardstock

Hello and Wow!!  It sure has been awhile since I have been here.  This place is soooooooooooooo busy that we have been out and about almost every day.  Just haven't been able to get back into the routine.  Now that we are playing golf 3-4 times a week, I think it is the perfect opportunity for me to do my blogging when my hubby is doing his golfing thing. 
Today I made an anniversary card using a technique somewhat like one over on split coast stampers. This is embossing and coloring on dark cardstock.  Not a new technique but one I haven't used in a while.
Check out the cards.

All cardstock from recolections

Stamps from Stampin Up

I am pleased with the way they came out.

Check out the video.  I am not satisfied with the camera angle since I moved but I will work it out

Thank you card and organization tip

Hi all and welcome to my first official craft blog for 2012.  Now that my craft room is empty of moving boxes, I can get back to work.
The first card I making is a thank you card.  We all need lots of these after the Holiday season. Mine is actually for a friend that brought me a house warming present shortly after we moved in.
Just a simple card but I love this stamp.

A2 size card

The dsp is from K I Designs bold and brights.

Stamp is from Me and my Big Ideas.

The organizational tip is for storing all your pass words.  Instead of putting them in a long list, try using a small address book and alphabetize them.  Easy easy retrieval.

That's all for now. Check out the video

Here I come again

Hello everyone.
Hope you all had a great holiday season and are ready to tackle 2012.  I am charging up the camera battery and hope to be back with videos today or tomorrow.  It has been a while and quite a whirl-wind.  Nov. 15th we decided to list our house for sale.  It sold in 3 weeks.  By December 15th we were living in our new place.  We moved ourselves, so the insuing 4 weeks between Nov and Dec, we packed moved and began the unpacking.  Of course Christmas fell shortly thereafter.  WELL, we are finally just about finnished with the unpacking and arranging so I can get back to fun.  My new craft room was actually the staging area so it was wall to wall boxes for a week or so.
Back at you soon......play nice

WoW!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone........don't forget me cause I'll be back.  You won't believe the last few weeks.  As I mentioned we put our house on the market.  Well it sold in three weeks and two days!!!!! We have found our new place and put a contract on it.  Now we just need to coordinate the two closings which should occur next week.  Packing..................Packing....................Packing.  We sold our house furnished as our new one is furnished also, but there is still a ton of stuff to pack and get ready for the move.  I have already packed twenty boxes.  Good news is that our new place also has three bedrooms so I will have a craft room again.  Yea!
I put up a little tree, but I can't wait to get settled and put up my big one.  Hope I can make the craft show this Saturday.  Only problem is that I need to replenish my cards, especially birthday, get well, sympathy etc.  Can't seem to find the time or mojo with everything else that is going on. 
Well enough rambling.  Keep in touch and I will be back with lots of new stuff in a couple of weeks.
See you soon................play nice.

Just in Case you thought I ran away

Hi everyone,  Thought I would do a quick post to let you all know I am still alive and kicking.  As I mentioned earlier, our house is on the market.  We have open house just about every day as we are home.  Let me tell you keeping a house in "show" condition is a challenge.  I have also been working on my craft show items as my next show is Dec. 10th.  I have tried 3 times to upload a short video on some of my items, but every time I did, someone came to look at the house.  I will try again tomorrow.  Don't forget me.....I'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you soon...play nice

A Little of this and that.

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my gypsy broke.  The usb port for the connection chord is just floating around inside.  Waiting for the mailing label so I can send it in.  I am told they will send me another as this one is still under warranty. But what about all the things I already had saved in it?  Crying Crying. 
Anyway here is a quick video with some this and that.  Enjoy.
