Good morning!
My card today is one that I've been playing around with. I'm trying to come up with cards to swap at Convention and I want everyone to like my cards….but….as you all know my cards tend to be on the quick & simple side. 3D projects are more my thing!! I have a few changes to make to the card but I think I like it (click on picture to see it larger).
I used the Level two hostess set "The More the Merrier" and those snowmen are going to get a lot of use this holiday season (the whole set is just darling!!!). The sentiment is from the Sparkly & Bright stamp set and I used the new Old Olive 1 1/4 Striped Ribbon. I love that ribbon so much I could marry it….just kidding…..last week one of Chase's friends told me that he loved my Sweet Tea so much he wanted to marry it…..isn't that a hoot?
The colors I used were Old Olive & the new Soft Suede. Remember last week when I said you would like the new colors when we start using them with other colors? Soft Suede is perfect when you need a almost chocolate color when Chocolate Chip is too dark. Get this…my sofa is Soft Suede (and I've had it a few years).
Have a great day!!
Angie's extra notes: Sorry I've been a little absent lately. My to do list is a mile long and we've had some family things this summer. Speaking of family, my nephew was attacked by a dog over the weekend and I'm looking for a book that would be good for a 5 & 8 year old that deals with being bitten by a dog. Do you know of one? Chase was bitten when he was little and I think it helped to show them his scars but I want to send him & my niece a little care package. We just happened to be in town when it happened but now we're home and can't visit them.
I've been so out of the loop I wanted to share some of what I'm doing. I'm creating a Forum discussion website for my Team members (I'm super excited and hope it works out the way I plan). I re-arranged my office. I had my computer and paperwork mixed in with my craft area and I needed to separate that. My computer in my craft space kept reminding me I had computer work… but …I'll always have computer work. I'm going back to setting the timer and not moving until I'm done with what I started. Lately I've found myself ping ponging around this room and finding that I'm doing too many things at once. Are you guilty of that? This could turn into a book so I better stop. Thanks for stopping by!!
Love that card Angie! Sorry about your nephew getting bit by a dog….that’s one of my fears as I’ve been bitten twice in my lifetime by “dogs-that-don’t-bite”…okayyyyy.
Don’t stress out too much over your to-do list, take some time to enjoy your summer!
Love the card and the ribbon wants to make me eat it (hee-hee) just kidding! take care!
Good for you. It take a lot of work to become organized while doing business. See you Salt Lake!
Love the simple cards-they to me are the best kind! Love all your stuff!
Thanks for reminding me of the alarm clock trick. Guilty for sure of ping poinging – I have such a lateral mind which is a good thing when creativity strikes but so NOT good when you need to keep on track doing something (especially if it is something BORING).
I’d be delighted to swap with you, if only I was going to convention! … Patricia
Oh . .I hope to see you to swap with you at convention. Will be my first year!! Yeah!! I read your blog daily and love your video’s!! Hope to see you in SLC!!
Wow this card is darling! I think the ribbon is going to be a HUGE hit for both Halloween and holiday projects 🙂
I really like your clean and simple cards, that is my style too! Enjoy your video very much, thanks for sharing them with all of us!
I love your simple cards! (hence the reason I blatantly copy most of them for my workshops! – thanks for that!!) You have a flair for knowing when to stop without it being bare 🙂
your poor nephew, My daughter was attacked by a dog twice her size last summer it was horrific and the affect it had on her was awfull, nightmares and not wanting to go out of the house just incase there was a dog around etc But what really helped was my friend who has a lovely tame Dog ‘Fudge’ and we visited her more often eventually after a few extra visits my daughter soon realised that not all animals behaive in such a way and its not the dog’s fault its the owners. She now has a giggle about it one year on and says ‘the dog was hungry and im good enough to eat!’
A good book would be a fab idea to show that not all animals act in this way.
Oh and by the way if i went to a cvonvention and received your card i’d be utterly delighted, i think its beautiful
sorry for the long comment!!!
love to you and your family

I think your card is fantastic:) You have no reason whats so ever to worry about your cards.
Sorry to hear about your nephew, I do hope he’ll be on the mend soon. Try looking on Amazon for a book they are usually pretty good.
I love your cards, Angie! I get so wrapped up in the fact I do quick and simple too and most of the people I am going to Convention with seem to do more involved cards. I would be happy to swap with you while in SLC!!!
Sorry to hear about your nephew….hope he is getting better. I don’t have any book suggestions, but am sending prayers for him!
