Kudos To My Hubby, Again!

Forget "he went to Jared's", better yet, he went to Buffalo Stamps and Stuff! Since he was going to a Buffalo office, I asked if he would please go to the specialty store for me. He agreed as long as I gave him the address and exactly what I wanted. I don't think he expected a place busting with so much goodness - my words, and bustling with, his words - so many old ladies. He got me several wool felt pieces I was craving, so I could play around with making die-cut flowers. (As far as I know, the craft stores around here only have the acrylic felt squares.) Mike always goes out of his way to make me happy and he sure did! Thanks, honey!!!

So here's a peek at what I've been trying with my Die-namics dies for the Cuttlebug. I think there's a trick for using the Cricut too. I'll have to look into how to do that.

Enjoy and THANKS for visiting!

Inspiration, Really?

Hi! So, blogs I read often mention where they get their inspiration from. Really? I know I did a week of posts last summer that were basically "copy the comforter" designs. I guess, however, if I am looking for card ideas well then, I usually look at card books/magazines. Well, picture this. Every morning I sit at my vanity and blow dry my hair while I just blankly stare off because I'm still waking up. Then one day I realize that I often am staring at a lotion bottle near the sink. A lightbulb goes off (okay, I know, it doesn't happen often), but it dawns on me that I like the color combo and the design. So I decide that I'm "inspired' to make a card.
Here's the inspiration and the results...
