Little things

Here is another card that will be in the Smorgasbord. I think we already hit the 50 mark for selection. And we still have over a month to go to create. So I can safely say you will have over 75 designs to choose from.
Not only are you getting great cards at a great price.....you are helping to boost my staffs confidence. I love building other people up. And crafting is an awesome, fun way to help people with self confidence. Each time you finish a page or card......you DO feel pride and sense of accomplishment. Well when you all buy my staffs creations.....it make them feel good.

I recently started a program for my staff. Certain projects of theirs get earmarked for a small commission at the end of the year. So when you see your receipt with "staff name" project on the slip....they is one item they are earning it on. Something fun I decided to try. And I love seeing their smiles when they are ringing sales up and seeing their projects being bought. It's the little things that make a persons day.

Hello plaid

 I made some cards for the upcoming Smorgasbord with this plaid. And there were a couple card fronts left over so I made them into cards for sale right away. It's been my goal this past year to use up leftovers right away so my 'scrap' pile isn't overflowing. Now is I can just get all my staff to do the same when they are creating.  =)

Floatin' by

 I had done a fun shaker class with 3D fish stickers. I had just 4 of these guys left over for some reason. so I made this card and 3 card kits. Poof! Off my work bench!!
 These flower die cuts were left over from a project a couple months back so they got whipped into easy cards for the upcoming Smorgasbord. Poof! Out of my way. Let someone else enjoy.

Layered Thanks

 I saw a similar card on Splitcoast Stampers and decided to try it. I had planned on it being for the August Smorgasbord. But quickly changed my mind once it took me extra time to cut it all out. We only charge $2 a card for that and you always get your money's worth. But some cards are just too time involved to make the cut. So these will be available for sale as kits until gone. We always have several card kits to choose from anytime you stop in. All the hard work is done....you just assemble and enjoy!! Some people have bought them for their kids to do. Some for their older parents. Everyone needs cards so stop on our today and pick some up.
I used the Taylorded Expreessions thanks die and MB stitched Rectangle die.

Beautiful Memories

 Today would have been my grandma's birthday. I still miss her. She has been gone about 5 years now and I just now was able to take out the box of photos to go through and start scrapbooking. She was a part of my everyday. My grandma, mom and best friend all rolled into one. My fiesta grandma.

Fishy Shaker Cards

 I did a class using a sheet of fish stickers. One is an actual shaker and one is a faux shaker. Turned out pretty cute.

Those we love

I had to do a scrapbook for my sons girlfriend in less than 2 weeks for a college grad party. I had the staff make this title for a page for her parents. Well I loved it so I finally sat down this past weekend to go through my photos to do one of my grandparents. I hadn't since her passing several years ago. Just needed that time to heal. She meant the world to me.

Stripes

 I had this paper with its matching colors on my workbench to do Page Kits last weekend. I just wasn't feeling it for page kits. So I made some personal pages instead. This is my youngest holding my oldest kitty now. Last year we lost our Siamese to old age at 18. And I think this is Shadow's last year...he also is going on 18. They've led a very good, pampered long life.
 This is the baby of our cat family Mini Mini. She takes spoiled to a whole new level. She is a diva and the first diva I've ever had.
