Friday & Saturday in July

Yes, it is still hot here. What better way to spend a weekend than at a garage sale put on by the local stamp store! The Paper Bunny is about the only store left here in Las Vegas that carries a full range of all things 'crafty'. http://www.thepaperbunnyvegas.com/  She set up a sale for anyone who had used 'goodies' to sell. Goodies included, punches, dies, a cricut, xyron, rubber stamps, stamp sets, and paper paper paper. Did I mention I bought paper??  Here is a look at my $29.50 stash.

There is a whole prima "fairy" collection in this one. Notice the 4 sets of stamps. I think they were 5.00, then there are 3 more sets of stamps (not pictured). Wow! They were $2.50 Good sale.

Made two collage cards from one of the paper collections this morning. So summery!

Late again! Friday July 21st.

Another 2 weeks between posts. I am a slow blogger. Todays update, and, all of the last 3 weeks have been in triple digits. For those not in Nevada, that means it has been over 100 degrees for nearly a month. We did have a big thunderstorm wednesday, so that was our coolest at about 95 degrees. Yup, weather update complete! I have been busy organizing my die cuts. I haven't taken pictures yet, but i promise I will show you what I have done with them in a couple days! Took a long time but I think it will be worth it.  For today I will share a die cut that I love. It is the Sue Wilson Austrailian Collection background die. It is elegant and versatile.

Sunday Morning!

Yeah! Got my computer back! Not happy with the outcome, as it acts slower than ever. The repair place was more interested in selling updates. Not sure they even checked for a virus. Just need to find a new place. This place built my computer, and we have updated and had it serviced pretty regularly for a long time. First time I have really been unhappy with the work and service. One of the guys lied to me two times. That inspires trust.
                                                   On a 'cheerier" note lets look at some cards for today! Best to stay inside and play with art. It has been 118 degrees here the last couple days! These 'she' cards are not my usual type, but just liked the words, and just the way they are put together. Simple, but classy.
The stamps are one set from Unity stamps.

You know how I like reaching into my old stamps and dies, (mostly stamps), and using something I haven't used in a long time. How about this Magenta background stamp? Easy card

Used the Anna Griffin die on this one. Side by side, not so pretty, but standing alone they are lovely.

Thanks for looking,

Happy Hot July 1st!

It is July already! Hot summer days are here. They were here in June this year at 116 degrees last week, so this  is cooler at 107-108 all week! Great for crafting inside. Today I am sharing some cutesy cards from Polkadoodles. I meant to order the 'digi' stamps, but I clicked the CD. I like it, as some of the images are pre-colored. Some are the black & white digital characters. There are papers, ephemera, and word or phrases included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All looks like summer fun to me!
