25th Anniversary Card

Morning all and what a great one it is! Got my work out in and got a phone call for that potential job. I have an interview tomorrow, yay!

My personal trainer put in an order for a 25th Anniversary card and wanted it to have the colors purple, white & silver. This is a new style card for me, but I had lots of FUN making it!

Since there is a little more work involved in this one, I will tell you how I did it. The card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". After you cut your card base cut out a single 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" layer of the same color. And then my white paper is cut at 5" x 2 1/4" and you have to have 2 of this size.

Next, I stamped my sentiments onto the 2 white layers and you want to make sure that they are centered. Then I took one of my punches, inserted all the way and punched the center and 2 sides (punch almost to the end but not quite). The first punch I made was used for the tab for the slider.

Finally, I placed the sentiment layer I wanted to be seen second to the single layer. Then attached that to the card base, but don't put adhesive on the ends since this is how the card will slide (Just make sure there is an opening on the side).

After you get this done, its really a simple card to make and you can do so much with it! Hope ya'll enjoy and have a great Thursday!

It's so good to be back!

Evening all! I am finally back from my mini vacation and it was wonderful! And I have so much to tell ya'll... some exciting possible opportunities coming my way!

First let me just say I am so thankful to be alive... on our way back from New Mexico we hit a deer going about 60mph. Luckily it didn't go through our windshield, which sure saved us.

Now onto the exciting news! My husband's cousin knows 2 music producers in Nashville and heard me sing and play guitar for the first time and this is what he said:
"Why aren't you in Nashville?... you have some serious talent!"
I was in awe of course, I guess I sell myself short sometimes. Well he wants me to record 2 songs and an original song and then he's going to send it off to those producers. You never know until you try!

And finally, I might have a potential job opportunity... my first big break! I am praying long and hard for this one. There is a position available for a graphics company where I live and the owner spoke to me personally and said he was looking for someone new! I am all over this one! Have revamped my resume and sent it out! Will let ya'll know the outcome asap!

Here's a few pics from my trip. I will have more projects to show ya'll starting tomorrow evening!

Had so much FUN and I love my wonderful new family! All of them are incredible! Have lots coming ya'lls way! Have a good one all!
