Traveler

Good morning!  Another hot summer day on tap, yuk!  It was pretty quiet here yesterday.  I have been vacuum cleaner issues for awhile and finally yesterday it is working properly and my carpet is starting to look much better!  woohoo.  

Another "Work of Art" to share.  Because this is a masculine card, I didn't add any pretty accessories, but I am wishing I had as it looks pretty bare.  I decided to share though because it is such an easy card to make and showcases the versatility of this stamp set.

Thanks to Cindy Techlin for sharing her design.

Recipe:

Take Out Box

Good morning everyone.  I have been really busy with my 3 c's - cleaning house, creating & I have forgotten the other one and no time to look it up!  Oh well.  I have also been taking care of several medical issues and seeing several different doctors.  Just one appointment takes up a couple of hours a day!  And of course, one must eat and it is easier to eat out than to come home and fix something and clean up afterwards.  I've succumbed to the marketing overload we have been hit with.  Now that I am aware of how unhealthy fast foods and eating out is, it's very hard to change that but I keep trying.

I recently had a class where we focussed on masculine gifts and cards. Today's project is just awesome.  We decorated one of our Take Out Boxes to look like a vest.  Isn't it adorable?  Hmm, who should I send this to?
