Lucky Kitty

I made this bright and cheerful kitty card as a way to welcome me into my new house and my new craft room.  I think he is kind of a lucky kitty because he was lucky enough to be the first stamp ever used in our new place. This card and what it represents makes me really happy.

I hope it makes you happy too! I'm going to share it with the "Show Us Your Pussies" cat lover's blog hop that I keep wanting to join but somehow never get cat cards made. Maybe I'm turning over a new (catnip) leaf!

The Fine Print: Cat stamp by Great Impressions, glitter designer paper by DCWV, and polka dot flower by unknown (old, old stash).

As we packed up I found this long lost card tucked away between the desk and the wall. It is an oldie but goodie that I received in a swap once. I really liked it and have kept it for years. I was a bit disappointed to see that it got creased and bitten by a cat but overall it is still in fairly good shape.

What's on Your Workdesk?

My work desk has some boxes on it that hubby dumped there. The boxes hold the stuff that should be IN the desk. Who knows, maybe someday that will happen.  There is also the bag of prescriptions I picked up for a friend who is out of town (you know they put that stuff back on the shelf if you don't pick it up timely). The stack of lunch sacks is for a paper bag book class that I am teaching months from now. No, I'm not really ahead of the game....

Not even close...

 Not even a little bit....

 Oh well, maybe a wee small bit, cuz look! The cardstock is put away!

The Fine Print: That's my desk in its new home. I joke and tell people it will be at least 6 months before I get to play again. And then I weep because maybe it isn't a joke

Hi!

I just wanted to stop in and say that I'm not dead. 

You can't be counting me out just quite yet.

Cups and Cakes

Awhile ago I needed to make a cupcake card and I decided to be inspired by this card that I made at a workshop.

The cupcakes are on a front flap that folds down and holds the card shut. When opened it looks like this:

Now I know you want to see the card I made that was inspired by this.  Keep waiting because I haven't made it yet.  I got distracted by a shiny thing. Ha!

The Fine Print: Seize the cupcake is by Hero Arts, I don't remember who makes the cupcake stamp and the happy cupcake greeting. It's in a box cuz of course I had to buy more own after I made this card.

What's on Your Workdesk this Wednesday, you ask?  Well, really next to nothing:

Oddly enough, nothing much next to the desk either:

Almost nothing in the craft closet too:

Pretty much nothing on the shelves behind the desk either, except for one lonely traveling craft tote:

Yep, so nothing to see here. Move along. Grab a box as you go though, would you?

The Fine Print: Ever wondered just how much random crap you owned? Pack it all up and move it to a new place and you'll find out.  I'm sure you'll be shocked and horrified. I know I am.

Blue and Brown

Sometimes you just need a quick card and that's when large greetings really come into play.  Stamp 'em out, slap on an embellishment or two, and maybe some faux homemade paper and call it good.

The Fine Print: I don't remember who makes this stamp but it is the company that woodburns the image into the wood, you know all fancy like, flowers by Prima, faux homemade paper by Club Scrap (it's not the least bit textured).
