Love a Challenge

I received an order this week for a custom card. I love when clients put me to the challenge. She loved my purse cards and wanted something similar in a light pink and gold. Now for anyone that knows me, I don't do gold, I mean that, I am a silver girl.  So looking for gold in my craft room was a challenge. I ended up having to run to Micheals for gold ribbon. Here is the final outcome, I'm loving it, I may have to increase my stock of gold embellishments.

I'll also be posting to Etsy a Masculine/Father's Day package. The following 3 cards for Dad. I kept them generic so that they can be used after fathers day but my dad is getting one this June :)

Clean House!

I've had to move all my craft stuff out of the dinning room and back downstairs into my craft room. Evan's dedication is this weekend and we need the dining room table to serve lunch to 25+ family members. It's actually kind of a blessing. I created so many cards the week before the Spring Boutique that I need to take a mental break. That being said my Pinterest to do list is pilling up so I'll need to get back at it soon.

I'm also going through the basement and trying to sell some baby stuff, stamps and punches. Trying to clear out some room and make a bit of money so I can order from the new Stampin Up catalog. I do have my priorities!

Here is a pic of my little man getting into mischief. I love how his father is able to sit back and take the picture while he chows down on my magazines :)

Quite time for this Momma!

My husband took the day off today so I finally get a bit of free time to update all the work I've been doing the last 3 weeks. The Bridge Spring Boutique was a huge success. I sold about 30 cards, and almost all of my mother's day cards. Here are two of the three I had, the third one was the pink purse card I posted before.

But really the best part of the day was being able to spend it with my own mother. Catching up with each other while waiting for customers. Time well spent for sure. Here was our table all set up.

Since wedding season is almost here I prepared several congratulations cards for the newly weds. They will be going up on my Etsy shop today.

This was the first time I've tried the star burst card, I really love it, will probably try a few more over the summer.
