Thinking of You

 

Wow, it’s been forever since I’ve been able to sit down to make a real post. But I have been so busy. Sadly, my stamping has taken the back seat. But hopefully all that will soon be in the past. Good things are in the works. I have found that October, November and December are the busiest times of the year for me. This year I was not able to "do" Halloween like we usually do. Everyone was disappointed but in the end it was OK. Instead I worked to raise money for our school’s drug program. It was very successful. So I was proud.

I think this has been the period in my life that you have to stop look around and reassess everything. That being done. The future looks good. I have so many things to talk about, I’m not sure where to start so I’ll just jump in.

In September a dear sweet girl I know from my son’s school lost her dad. It was so unexpected and heartbreaking for this young family. Times like this can make you feel so helpless.

Remember to tell your loved ones that you love them everyday.

I made this card for them hoping that it would say that I care. You would be surprised how it makes people feel when you take the time to make something just for them. I always say I’m going to make up cards ahead of time so I’ll be ready for any occasion but being the procrastinator that I am, I haven’t. But the up side of that is when I make my cards they are for a specific person and they know it.

The idea for this card came out of the Stampin’ Up! catalog page 171. The supply list is below.

Check back soon to see what I’ve been so excited about these days!

Birthday Card Idea – Stampin’Up! Holiday Mini Catalog

 This card idea came from page 10 of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. Their Halloween card became my birthday card! And it was quick and easy, too.

Now about the discussion that came along with this card. My hubby thought it was a little boring for a 7 yr old. And he might be right. It was masculine enough but it didn’t seem to be very fun. But I told him it would have money in it and he was seven so it wouldn’t matter. And I needed right then. And it turns out I was right!

With that said, this is a great card. It can be used for any occasion from Halloween to birthdays.

Crazy For Cupcakes

My new In Colors have been staring at me, kind of like the money you could be saving from Geico. So I decided to give them a try. These three colors turned out to be great birthday colors. My little guy thought they were great. He said "For me, Momma? It’s soooo cute! Your a good girl." So that says it all.

Big Bold Cupcakes Invitation

This was a super quickie invitation. When you have mass invitations to do, it pays to keep them simple. Believe me, I know. I’ve tried to do more complicated cards and you end up having a nervous breakdown just trying to get them finished. Well, for those individuals that are not procrastinators, life may be different but I wouldn’t know anything about it. So "Keep it simple, Cyndi" is my motto. Yeah, right. Anybody buying any of this.

Anyway, this card was fun. I cut everything with my Big Shot Die Cut Machine except for the star and the base. The hardest thing was picking out the colors. Oh, yeah, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the "You’re Invited". That thing is too cool. I used to think it was too much trouble but once you get used to using it. It’s great. I’m a keep it in the box it came in kind of person, so I think that kind of slows me down on using it. So I’ve contemplated throwing the box out. Kind of thinking outside of the box. Ha ha ha. Why are you not laughing? That was funny…admit it. Ok maybe not.

I hope you like the invitation. Check back soon to see the birthday card that I haven’t made yet but must because his birthday is Thursday! I know I said I was going to stop procrastinating and I have on some things but I have a very long road in front of me to call it success. So please, bear with me through all of my behindness.
