Quick simple card

This is another card I made and showed during the last release party of Gina K Designs and had forgotten to upload it here. I actually like this card, was so quick and easy! Which I think the stamps help that abit, lol! This is the 'free with 3' set, called Winter Foliage. I used my circle nestie to just emboss on the white cardstock and then stamped the images from the set in the corner of the circle (circles have corners?? ha!) Just did a bit of masking with the pine cone is all, added a bit of white and glitter to it. The red inside of the circle is that metallic rub paste in the holiday colors...I LOVE that stuff! I can't sponge worth a darn, but I can RUB! LOL! I think it adds alot to it, the red rub paste. Ok, thats about it! I have been making cards, just a few I cant show yet...AND have had grandbaby here....his new saying now is 'lubbermor'. He tells me this when I tell him 'I love you'. I do think he means, I love YOU more, lol! But its much cuter this way!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Its quite an adjustment for us, DH having 3 days off in a row, lol! We dont know what to do being around each other so long of a time, hahaha! Lots of things we didnt realize or really think about, how different it would be. When he was working here with the city, he could come by the house anytime, (the whole town is only like 2 miles wide, lol) came home for lunch, got here by 5:05pm after getting off work at 5pm...but now, has traffic to deal with...its a mad house coming out of the army depot. Everybody in town knows not to try to get out during that time and he is having to take his lunch and anything else he thinks he might need during the day because he doesnt have the time to come by here...also waste of gas to since WE are paying for that gas now, haha! (so glad to see our gas prices dropped to under 3.00 yesterday!)

Ok, thats all for now! We going to look at new cars this evening...I'm leaning toward a Malibu...spied me a pretty midnight blue one and I want to go see exactly how much we looking at....byeeeeee

Just the box, and a little one at that, lol! I did the challenge the other day on SCS, and it was to make one of these little pizza boxes. They are soo cute! And quick and fun to make. Here's mine:

I made mine with a friend in mind..shes a quilter but also loves counted cross stitch like I do and I found this little kit on clearance with a quilt pattern....I was going to put it in the photo too, but I cant find it, haha! I got it out to see if it would fit, and it does, and then put it who knows where...lmao. It will show up here soon I'm sure then I can give it to her, lol.

Thats all for now! Got a busy day today running around paying bills...joy, joy....but as the saying goes, be thankful I CAN pay them! LOL!! This waiting till we dont know when to get a regular paycheck isnt fun at all....so scared to spend a dime on anything! AND I so NEED some stamp supplies!! LOL!

Have a beautiful Thursday!

Unity Challenge Wednesday!

This week's challenge was given by Jess. We were to make a 'non A-2 card' ...well I went to the extreme, didnt make a card at all, lol! I did two quick projects:

These cute little halloween treat bags, which I followed the tutorial HERE...super easy and quick to make...I only need to make about 20 more now,lol! We have a big ole party and its on the 25th this year, so trying to get them all done and have plenty for the kids there. I did minimum coloring so they would be quick. I did use my spica glitter pens to add a bit of sparkle here and there.


And also this coaster calendar. I'm sure most have seen these too. I'm thinking of putting one in each gift I give out this year, just a little something extra. I made mine to attach to the fridge, added a magnet on the back.

Dont forget to see all of the awesome creations by my fellow Unity Addicts too! Got some linked over on the side bar there!

Ok, thats all for now! Thanks for stopping by and I have a couple more things I have to upload and post too...I did spend the day at daughter, and night, her puter is sooo slow though...drives me crazy trying to post a comment to a blog on it, lol!

Whew, finally!

Well, DH hogged the puter allll weekend...now, he NEVER gets on my puter...doesnt even know how to work one, until now! This new job had him take about 15 online safety classes and instead of him sitting in their office anymore, he asked if he could do at home soooo, all this weekend he finished them up, with me telling him what to click and where, lol. He better get used to it, cause that is how this company has their employees enter their time, via their program on the puter. I get so tickled at him though...I just have a desk top puter and he goes "I'm running out of room here..." I said 'what??' He said, "the little mouse thang...your desk isnt big enough, I'm going off the edge." I said (trying not to laugh) 'just lift it up and move it back closer to you.' Thats only one example...lol. ANYways, didnt have much time on the puter this weekend to do much commenting or posting is my whole point to all this, LOL!

I do have a card I want to post, one that I showed at the Gina K release party Thursday night:

I made this using Rupa's new set called "The Magic of Christmas". It's a beautiful set, love the images in this set! Fun to color OR you can emboss with gold and silver and they would look beautiful like that too. For my card, I wanted a 'country' feel to it, so I used a piece of Christmas checkered material as a DP for part of it. The other piece of DP is from a stack I bought at HL. The green ribbon is some more of the wonderful ribbon Gina K is now carrying too. The lighting is a bit wonky on this one, I was trying to get the gold in the ribbon to show and the gold on my card edges too. I used my gold leafing pen to do that. I hand-stitched (I SEW, pun intended, NEED a sewing machine!!) around the material part too.

Anyways, thats about it for now! If I dont post for a few days, it's because I MIGHT go to my daughter's house to help with grandbaby...something or other going on with her regular babysitter for a few days and she said something about needing help...sooo if I dont, thats why. Just thought I'd let anybody know that might be interested, lol. I was going to get some blog posts set up, but thought I better get house straight before I MIGHT have to go, lol!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Sunflower birthday

I had to make a really quick birthday card cause I am so forgetful, lol. So I used Melanie's new sets from Gina K Designs that was just released last night! Last nights release party was SUCH a blast! My dog got upset with me not getting much attention though..she decided to crawl under my desk (all of her 70lbs of her) and unplug everything...LOL! Took me about 30 minutes to get it all hooked back up she had it in such a mess...Ok...the card:

Super easy, super quick card. I just stamped the images 3 times, colored one, added some seed beads to the middle of it and glued the 2 uncolored images down and popped up the colored one. Scored a bit and tied some ribbon...stamped my sentiment (we wont notice it crooked either) and all done! The card is already been given to my friend too! Yay for quickies! LOL! Now, you HAVE to head on over to Gina's blog and read alllll about this:
