Hi Everyone,  I am finally able to get on my computer to post my pictures of the cards we are making this week.  I haven't been able to get on my computer for 3 days.  I was beginning to think maybe Tom hadn't paid the bill.  Someday I hope to replace this antique of a computer.  Well here is the cards for Wednesday.

My favorite is this last one but I almost changed my mind about doing it.  It is a new Stampin Up set I bought from my neice Pam.  It has a lot of pieces  to it and each piece is cut out with a die that needed to be lined up a certain way.  It would take forever to do.  But... I was determined to do it.  I will have you not do all the steps and I cut everything out in advance  You will need to concentrate while doing it .and listen to me as how it is done.  Oh dear we are in trouble.  Just teasing, well sort of.. Time will tell.  See you tomorrow!

Well I am back and as late as ever.  I only had one card to make yesterday.  I worked all afternoon trying to make it.  Do you ever have days that nothing works out?  After several hours I quit.  I decided I wasn't doing that card this week, maybe next time.  I  decided to make it simple but sometimes simple can give me grief. I started out just trying to score this simple card.  I wasted  4 or 5 card blanks.  Finally I did it right and am here to post.

You get to color the chicky card, two step stamping on the next, choose of white daisy or the yellow  daisy and the last card is all cut out using my Cricut machine. See you Wednesday!

Hello all!  I hope I won't disappoint you all.  I am not having a card class this Wednesday July 22nd.  We are going to be at a family camping outing at Mohigan State Forrest.  I have been looking forward to this since last Jan.  when he had to make reservations for July.  At first I thought I just might come home for the day, but decided against it.   I won't have the next one until August 6th.  I will of miss seeing all of you but I looking forward to being with all my kids (only one family can't camp but will be visiting), Tom's brothers and most of their families will  be there too.  We have been doing this for years and we have a lot of fun.  I hope you will forgive me for not giving you much notice.  Let me know if you plan to come on the 6th.  I know I am going to be watching my grand daughter for a week in Aug.  I hope it is not that week, will let you know of any changes.  Take care and God Bless you and keep you all well and safe.  Laura

July 8th card Class

I spent a good part of the Fourth of July Holiday in my craft room working on my cards.  I did the last one today so here I am.  You do understand I am not completely done.  I have a little to do to finish the giraffe card,  the card with the blue birds needs a sentiment/verse.  The other two are ready.  I used my Cricut

Expression to do the giraffe card ( Create a Critter Cartridge) .  The Lighthouse card was inspired by Pat Smith.  She sent me a link by email so I could watch some videos on how to make this special fold.  Those of you who attended the last class (afternoon), got to see the cards she made using this technique. Thanks Pat! Also I am having Christmas in July.  I created this card myself and am very pleased with it.  Here goes my trying to post.

Have a Great Weekend!

Happy Fourth of July!  I hope you get to spend some time with family and friends this weekend.  Nothing has been planned for us.  Might try to have a picnic with family.Well here it is Friday and I have nothing accomplished in the card department.  Have been busy but not with my cards.  Oh My,  I have my work cut for me.  I do have a couple ideas in my head.  I have a Dr.s appoint Wed. morning so I must be ready by Tues.  Wish me luck!  Throw in a Holiday in there, a Sunday with church, the things Tom want me to do,  I will need lots of luck and inspiration.  Hopefully  sometime when I do get finished I will need to post them, so stop back.  God Bless all of you and keep you well.  Laura

My Cards For June 24th

For how early I was at getting my cards posted last time, I am as late this time.  I had 4 made yesterday but that I realized one same coloring as another card.  So today I made a different one.  Although I have the 4 made that I plan for you to make, I still have most of the pieces to cut out.  I need to go to Hobby Lobby to see how many are coming and I need to pick up my new glasses.  So.... barring nothing else coming up to mess up my day, I should be ready by tomorrow.  Well here they are.  I won't tell you how busy I have been, boring you with my excuses.  See you tomorrow!

Here it is Saturday evening and I am posting my cards already.  I still need to cut out the pieces for the sailboat card.  I got a few more ideas from the Stamping Up Catalog.    Looking forward seeing all of you at this Wed. class.  Hope your weekend is going well.  We just came from my Grand daughter's graduation party and will be leaving soon for a Great Nephew's Grad Party. We have two more this month we will be attending.  Take care and God Bless you and keep you safe.
