Not a Lazy Sunday!

Today is going to be a nice day and while I normally enjoy relaxing on Sundays, I have a big project in my basement LOL! Hubby purchased me a wonderful rolling shelving system so that I can "organize" my crafting area and find what I am looking for. He said it would make my life much easier but I really think he just doesn't like looking at the mess LOL! I agree but boy oh boy it's going to be a busy day!

The problem is that it's not just my crafty stuff in the area but boxes of "stuff" that I haven't looked at in years. I actually started on it last night and ended up with 1 big ol stuffed bag of trash (tell me why I had old joanne's flyers and junk I don't need saved?!) as well as boxes of good condition items to go to Goodwill on Monday. I would love to finish all by the end of the day, but this is going to be an ongoing project. My goal would be to get everything I don't need or use gone, and eventually have a nice crafting area set up. But FIRST I have to put the hard work in (yea!!!)

I also wanted to share with you a cute card that Jan (otherwise known as jlwclanfam) created with my Awards Ribbons File, currently available only in my QMC).

I think she really did a great job! This is what she says about this cute card:

"if you look closely, the back part of the ribbon is dark blue foil, then gold, then frosted blue, then the #1 is on gold vellum!! And I made the Father's day banner from Heritage Labels from Jen Adkins"

I really love the foil paper, but then again you all know I love anything glittery and shiny looking! LOL.

Thank you very much Jan for sharing this with me so I could share with everyone else!

Finally, just a quick note to let you all know that I have uploaded a new file to my QMC called "Funky Fish in Bowl".

This file would look cute on a layout or on the front of a 5"x7" card. The recipient is sure to smile. Here's just a few ideas if you are looking for cute phrases:

Tanks for your help!

You are so finny!

Without you I'm just swimming in circles

The castle's not quite the same without you here

Just want to fish you a Happy Birthday!
argh...just stop me now!

Well time to take the pups out and get back downstairs to the mess! Hope you all have a most wonderful day!

My First Digi Files (and special savings to you!)

Ok, this is not going to be a long post since I have to get the recycling out and then get ready for bed (yea....I know it's not even 7pm but my eyes are so very tired and the allergies are kicking my bottom!)

Anyway, I am so excited that my very first 2 digi fies have been uploaded to the store!




As you can see in the picture, this consists of a branch with the cherry blossoms inside a scalloped frame. I have also included extra flowers which you can cut out and add to the top of the image to allow them to pop.

Also, in order to provide you with more options, for those of you using cutters, I am providing two background cut lines: 1 solid background that runs on the outside of the scalloped frame and 1 that has cut lines both on the outside and the inside of the stamp.




At first I was only going to do a "boy" robot but when I got to thinking, I remembered watching hours of Lost in Space with my brother and LoViNg the Robot! Then I thought I CAN'T be the only girl who likes robots and thus Roberta was created! I like to think of them as fraternal twins LOL!

With this set I have included the additional images, like her skirt and pearls and his box and antennae to give the finished piece a little pizzaz!

Now...about the special savings....since these ARE my very FIRST Digi files, I have put them on sale for 50% OFF! This sale will last through Sunday, so if you want them, make sure you check them out.

Let me know what you think and if you use them, please try to send me a copy of what you made so I can share it here with others.

Well....best be off to get my stuff done....Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
