Fall card and cricut sales

Hello! Shock I know I am posting, its been busy here. Last Sunday I spent the day rearranging my craft room.  Added little more storage in the room, its a guest room as well so I have to make sure I keep it easy to move around in. I will take pictures when I get all the re organizing done and post them. And this week so far I have been doing instead of spring cleaning fall cleaning...lol Could not belive how much dirt can build on windows in just a few months. So nice looking out windows that are clean and bright. Trying to get all outside stuff done before its gets cold. Last few days its been kinda chilly you can feel the crisp in there air, I love fall air. But it will be winter before we know it. But I am enjoying fall for now, so thought I make a super fast card. I do mean fast it took me 10 mins total. Its a small card just for a quick note. I made this using all scrap papers.

Sorry I have been mia and here is a card

Hi I am so sorry I have been MIA with craft posting. I have been busy working around the house trying to get all those little today things we never finished done. This past Friday we had two attic fans fixed, funny part is we had to get a electrician to come out. And Gene is a electrician...lol But because we did it under home warranty they had to send there guy out. Can say I was very unimpressed! The man they sent out was rude when you ask him something he say I dont know I guess I am not getting what your getting at. The main part that annoyed me was he was so loud. He had this board he used to walk on in the attic. But he was throwing the board on the rafters anytime he need to move on to another area. I realized there would be some noise but I never thought he was going to shake the whole ceiling...lol My poor cats, took the rest of the day to come out cause they were so scared. So anyway now that the attic fans are fixed we will be working on getting insulation blown in. That is so not going to be fun, but we got a good price from a company and we are going to use them. We knew when we bought the home it needed insulation so after paying 300.00 one month for electric we decided its time. I hope after that the bill will drop. But anyway enough about the boring home repair talk...lol

I made this card cause I needed a annv card for spet 25. Funny story to that date is My brother cliff got married to my SIL Jenny in 1994 on sept 25. Then in 2000 my brother richard married my SIL Shelia on of all dates SEPT 25! So both there annv are so easy to remember...lol It was not planned but was funny when my brother cliff said wow your getting married on our ANNV. So the good part of that is one can called the other and make sure they dont forget the ANNV. Which has happened...lol I just thought I share that funny little family story. Okay the card, it s simple card and I had major mental block going for this card. You know how that is when you just have no creative juice flowing. When I dont make something for a while I do that. So products used will be listed below. Thanks for looking.

Simple card and Criut chirp

Hello happy Thursday! Sorry have not posted any new projects been trying to get some much needed stuff done around my home. Anyway last night I thought I wanted to make a card with only stamps. So I made a template for a card front and cut the template in sections so that I could remove each one and stamp. Then after I do the stamping I put the piece back into place and then remove another piece. Repeat until all done then remove all the sections and you have the big reveal. Its not hard at all. I did use versa mark to define between sections on the bottom, I got a little carried away on the first section of the versa mark...lol And I should have used some different stamps patterns in places. I am not loving the card but hey I am keeping it real not every project crafters make we love, right?

This week has been kinda reassuring for me in crafting terms. I had read a thought provoking post about blogging and it really made me think. One part of it touched on what she called the number game, and she was right. Most blogger's watch there stats and how many follow you, it can consume you. I never fretted over how many followers I have but I will admit I did watch stats...lol After reading this I kinda let that go.

But the funny thing is a few days later I thought well I will pop in and see how many page views there have been. And I was shocked I had 30 people on in a very very short amount of time. And for my little blog that is alot...lol I was wondering what is going on? I looked to see where it was coming from, it was coming from cricut.com message boards. HUM...

Then I go and look at the post I made and I see congrats on Cricut chirp high light. I look at my cricut chirp newsletter and sure enough there is a link to my card under message board high lights. It was my fathers day card I made for my dad with a fishing deer on it. I was so shocked. I was just sharing a fathers day idea, never once when I posting it did I think it was cricut chirp worthy...lol Anyway it was nice to have my card picked not complaining...lol Well off to do the daily chores and have some fresh green beans from our garden to cook. They look yummy. Thanks for looking
