Exhausted...

Been working like crazy and I've got to say I'm exhausted... I'm running on hardly any sleep! And I've been trying to get my house in order so it's been hectic around here! Hopefully by Monday I will have some more projects for ya'll!

Trying to come up with a tagline or slogan for my business... any suggestions?

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend! Happy Crafting all!

Wacky Wednesday Challenge #36

I haven't done a challenge in a while and I've sure been missing out! These are just so much fun to do! This week the challenge over at More Than Favors is to create a project using the colors red, orange, blue & green!

This gave me the idea to pull out my Cars Cart that I haven't even touched! Thought it would suit this challenge pretty well!

My sweet husband had custom stamps made for my new business venture and they are so cute and work very well! Thank you love!

Here's the card I made for the challenge!

Shutter Card

Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well!

Thought I would go ahead and attempt a shutter card! It turned out pretty well for my first try, I am so proud! I figured I'd give you all step by step instructions for this card since it is a little complicated, but once you get it down its very easy.

1) Cut a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock down to 5.5" x 12" and this is what becomes your card base.
2) Once you have your card base, then you need to score it at 2", 4", 8" & 10".
3) Now go back to your cutter and line your card up (horizontally) to 1.5", then cut from the 2" score line to the 10"  score line. Repeat on opposite side.
4) Fold your card and take the middle score lines and fold them in the opposite direction.
5) Time to get our layers cut! See picture below for 1st layer(s) dimensions and just click on it to make the image larger.

6) Here's the 2nd layer(s) dimensions

7) Now assemble the layers together and add stamps, ribbon, embellishments or anything else of your choice!
8) You should have a finished card after that!

Here's how mine came out!

Recipe:
Card Size - 5 1/2" x 12"
Layers (See above directions for all sizes)
Teal and Brown Cardstock - DCWV
Pink and Off Yellow Cardstock - Heidi Grace
Punch - Stampin Up!
Sentiment Stamps - Inkadinkado

ENJOY!

Happy Anniversary

It's crazy to think that a year ago I was walking down the aisle. Time sure does fly when your having FUN and married to a wonderful man!

He is currently on the rig, but we will be celebrating when he gets back. He sent me flowers and this letter that read:
     "Happy 1 year Anniversary My Love! I decided you wouldn't mind getting flowers a day early! The first year of marriage to the love of my life has been amazing! Everyday I fall more and more in love with you! I love you now and forever."

Happy Anniversary to the most wonderful man I know! This first year has truly been amazing and I can't wait for many more to come! You are my everything!

Here's the card I made him!
