{Card purse

I made this. I even created the file so you can make one too. So get thyself over there.

{happy Mother’s Day

Am blogging by the pool. My house is being cleaned, my car has been washed, and I received sunflowers, a caramel frap, bacon for breakfast and rolos. I think there is lobster in my future. I made some box cards for the moms and grandma.

They are so fun to make.

They fold flat. Sort of

Have a great day and check out http://www.teamknk.com and you can get the file to make the basic card. I used sizzix dies for the flowers and Martha for the leaves, border, tag, and butterflies. I used Photoshop to make the word art since I didn’t have a Mother’s Day stamp.

Enjoy. Excuse the crappy iPhone pictures.

My post is up. You should go look at it. And give me love. Yeah, I’m blatantly asking for it. That’s how I roll.

Besides, I’m on a pity party for one. A student accidentally tripped me yesterday and I twisted my bad knee.  I woke up this morning hurting pretty badly. I’m all braced up again.

Grr.

{Owl cards

Inspiration comes from everywhere. I love this owl that M. Pierce uses.

In fact, if you haven’t read the book Night Owl. Do IT. It was one of my favorite books of 2013. Get it here.

It is such a well-written book. The second one comes out in early Summer. I can’t wait.

Anyway, I used the above owl to make a little set of cards. I cut the owl out in black card stock and then put him on 4.25×4.25  kraft cards with a 4×4 punched background (I can’t believe I actually purchased Martha Stewart punches. I did. And I love them. So there.)

These pictures aren’t great, think my lens needs to be cleaned. I used the G12 to take these.

Here are the individual cards close up, in case you’re interested:

I have a stamp that says “You’re a Hoot” and I can’t find it! Oh well, I used other assorted greetings, so it works.

Go. Go read my post. And comment on it if you love it. Yes, this is a blatant plea for kudos.

Happy Friday!!

{A little catch up here…

I need to think of a project for this month. That’s the worst part…thinking. The doing part isn’t so tough.

{You know you haven’t been to your blog in forevers when…

You forgot your password and get locked out of the damn thing.

A post is coming to Team KNK tomorrow. And tomorrow is my last day of work for a month! If I can get into my Crap Shack, things will be made. Oh yes, things will be made.

Yee-haw!

{Thanksgiving crap

Go here:

That tree was a pain in the ass to make. It’s living in my office at work now and even has some leaves scattered around it. I don’t ever see myself ever attempting another one.

I ordered the new iPad mini and am stalking my email so I can stalk FedEx. I did receive the case for it on Saturday. Kind of depressing to walk by and look at an empty iPad case, but knowing it will be filled soon makes me happy.

It’s my birthday present. And will probably be my Christmas present too.

I’m not going to lie about doing better with this blog. It’s kind of like me saying I’ll keep the crap shack (craft office/chick cave, whatever…) cleaner. I got a few threats about being submitted to Hoarders again.

Creativity is not neat. So there.

{anyone there?

I know! I suck!

Last day of my vacation and I’m playing around with felt. I made little flowers and sewed them together with buttons. I ended up with a cute, but lumpy card set.

I’m also fooling around with the 4.25″ square card. I have to make the envelopes but that’s easy.

I’m too lazy to drag out my camera so here are some iPhone pictures.
