This weekend was spent creating many, many things. All of which I hope will be loved.

I am gearing up for my sales, a few big ones, a few small. I get bored easily so I am always looking for new things to create.

When I came outside this weekend to show my husband some of the new Student agenda planners I made, he said to me "they are beautiful, you needed something new to sell to make it more interesting!" I looked at him in shock and replied with an "I did?" Of course he was being sarcastic. We often talk about me having too many options. But I love creating and trying new things, so a table with plenty of options it will be. Check them out and let me know what you think.





 


And here are some mini notebooks...

 I also made some new Coffee Cup gift card holders for the coffee lover on many Christmas and Birthday lists....








I can't take credit for thinking up this kind of gift card holder, I know other crafters make it. I did adjust the size to suit my liking and then of course any paper pattern or decoration, I can take credit for. I have many more ideas for these! Many more to come!

So, a while ago, I realized I had way too many stamp sets, and set out to use all of the ones still sitting in their packages. Here are some more samples of cards that have been keeping me busy....



That is it for now! As always, thank you so much for taking the time to read.

Tea Inspired Cards

Well we are back from vacation! Actually, two weeks back from vacation, but it has been so darn hot, that I really have not been doing too much.

What I have been doing is just making a mess in my craft room. I have been looking for things, finding things, losing things, and forgetting things. I basically came to the realization that it is impossible to keep it clean and organized, and yes perhaps I have realized I just have too much. I really do have too much stuff!

Just one of my messy areas!
I mean really, who can work in that mess. So then I decided that I am going to go through my stuff, project by project and new toy, tool, stamp or paper set, one by one!

My first was a few "tea" inspired cards that I made with a stamp set I really wanted, and then never used until now. I do like these cards, I think they turned out quite nice!





I hope you like them, let me know what you think!

Since I have committed to going through all of my stuff, I am hoping to post many more projects here really soon, so stay tuned! Have a great Wednesday!
