.[friends cards].
Sorry, I have been working on stuff-good fun stuff! I have a guest spot coming up and I have been working on projects for that-cards & a new mini album. Today I was having some computer troubles, while I waited for my pc to rest I made this quick card. Now I must get back to editing project photos & working on another project. More new things will be posted soon!

.[framed art & a gift box].
Today is my blogging day on the TCD dt blog, and the theme for the week was home decor. I have had a busy week and had to rush home yesterday to do my project, sigh. This is another reason why I love my Big Kick-it is perfect for doing a FAST project! Especially when you are at a loss for ideas, doing something to be framed is a easy last minute project. Thank goodness I have extra frames on hand! This is seriously a 10 minute project, love that.
The gift box was done for the TCD dt blog last month-I forgot to post it on my blog. Both projects were made using the TCD Memories line.

Opps, almost forgot your question...that yellow butterfly on the blk/wht thankful card was made with the Stampin Up Beautiful Butterflies die. I love it too!!
Mrs A...I do have something waiting to be mailed to you soon;-). I just need to get the stuff for others finished to all at once.
Hello Inky!! I am always glad to hear about someone discovering my blog, and enjoying it...THANKS! I wish I was better at photographing my family/people-that is where I need lessons!!
Sorry, I kept you waiting so long Kathy! I will try to makeup for it next week!!
Awe, too bad we couldn't meet up. It is amazing...I am ready to go back for more photos!

.[a day in the district].
Sorry! For no new updates last week. I have just been spending time with the family. The weekend before last LaVaughn had been out of town for 3 weeks-really four...because he was gone for a week 2 weeks before that, lol. Plus, it's spring break for the girls. Kiela & I have been dying to spend the day in DC-I have frames that I want to fill with b&w architectural photos for around the house. LaVaughn is in DC everyday, so it's hard to talk him into going on the weekends. Kiela has not seen any of the monuments, nor has Amira(but she's a sour-puss TEEN). Mira wanted to stay home, so the rest of us had a nice time on the mall. There is still so much more for us to see and so many more photos to take...I was able to fill two of my four frames with my photos! And we finally had a chance to try Sprinkles-which was a perfect way to end the day.

.[sale-a-bration].
Time is ticking fast before the SU Sale-A-Bration is OVER-Friday March 22!! And then you won't be able to get that cool vine street embossing folder for free if you spend $50. Or a package of the clear vintage faceted buttons-like the one in the center of the butterfly free if you spend $50. Thanks for those who did make an order through Stella MacKay with my hostess code 6H22MY2G. I need to get my order in, we all just have until Friday March 22.

.[new cards. new dies.].
Last night I made two new cards with two new dies-the butterfly and the hexagons. I bought the hexagons for a project that called for them and then I did these cards for fun. The butterfly-I am always trying to find cool butterfly shapes & sizes. I thought I wouldn't use the body piece-now I kinda of like it.

.[some Easter].
Here is another stained wood egg-with some pearls, rhinestones, and a bit of gold string. A few months ago I made these rabbits out of clay-this is how far I got. I am not sure if I want to finish them more than they are-I am afraid of doing something all wrong! I think they are sweet as is, or are they?!
.[what you said/what you asked].
Thanks, Melody! Those stamps are so great to work with, I bet you've made some pretty things too!!
Yikes, I am kinda of nervous about what to send you...I want them to be just as nice for you IRL.
I have not looked yet...but I am on my way right after I post this-I am excited to see what you did!! Thanks Margaretha!!

.[chic Easter eggs].
About 2 weeks ago I bought some wood & paper mache eggs to decorate. I love the pretty pastel colors of spring/Easter, but I want a more natural glitz to my Easter! I did a dark stain on the wood egg, but I held back on scattering the pearl stickers I first envisioned-sometimes you have to pull back on the glitz. On the large paper mache egg I used coarse & fine glitter, then wrapped gold/silver cord around the center. I have a few more wood eggs to decorate, one will have those pearls!
.[what you said/what you asked].
Thanks, so so much!
Louise, wow...you are super generous with your compliments! I am thankful for having kind visitors-like you!!

.[what you said/what you asked].
It does have great texture & weight...I love getting my cardstock from Paper Source. I try to pick up a pack or two once a month.
Thank, Heaven!! I hope that you have found some mojo-I am trying to use mine while it's here, lol!
Thank you Amy!!

.[obsessed, stampin up].
This weekend I was able to enjoy some time in my Studio enjoying some new Stampin Up stuff. Two new butterfly punches, butterfly die, some stamps, banner dies, a new embossing folder, and a doily die. It had been a few years since I had placed a Stamin Up order, so I placed a bday order!
I love each and everything I purchased...I have put my Big Kick through some serious work! I made some cards as I tried out my new things, and I used TCD's papers(plus some of my other embossing folders).
If you feel enticed by what I have bought and want to buy a few things as well this would be the perfect time to do so...Stampin Up has their Sale-A-Bration going on now until March 22-this is the only way to get the leaf embossing folder {FREE} I used on the grey card! And if you need a demonstrator you can use the lady I have order through since 2008, Stella MacKay and use her online store with my hostess code 6H22MY2G(open for 30 days). We can make this a little blog party!
I hope to make one more order for a few more things on my wishlist before Sale-A-Bration is over!!
.[products].
.[what you said/what you asked].
Hi Doris, THANKS...I hope you saw the links to the embossing folders in my last post on Mar 01.
Jamia, I usually do it myself with my scissors. Now that I have that new Stampin Up banner die-it will help! I do have a Marvy triangle type banner punch I use from time to time. I just learned that the one with the double ends is called a fishtail, lol!!
No prob, Katie...thank you!!!
