Hello! I was so late in getting my weekly card in the mail to Debbie that I put off showing you the share until this week. This sketch is one of the "tall and skinny" ones which means the size for both of our cards are 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". I will be showing you my card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we both used. Enjoy!

Hello! Usually, on Saturday you see my Saturday share post. Well, it's gonna be late. This was my teaching week so I didn't get to it until yesterday. And then I missed the outgoing mail pick up, so I put my card in the mail for Debbie today. She should get it on Tuesday so, look for the share here on that day too!
No worries since I have a fun card for you today. But, first I have to tell you the story behind it. It's kinda long, but it's a good story. If you follow me on Facebook, you already know the story. but if you don't, then here is my story about our new dog. It was last month when I was in the middle of prepping for my class, I took a little break and saw on Facebook that a friend from church found a Chihuahua and was trying to find a home for her. They had figured out where she lived before, but a neighbor told them that the family had left 2 weeks before for Florida. We have a Chihuahua and we love her (of course) but she is 13 and we had been somewhat thinking about getting another. We went and met the new dog, who is a sweet one, they were calling her Sweet Pea, for good reason. That same week we brought her home. She was in heat so a appt. was made to get her fixed. Now, Natalie was told by the vet that she was about 5 or 6 years old. We had her in our home a few days before her appt. and so when I took her, I asked if the vet could check her eyes, as we thought maybe she was blind or partially blind, as she occasionally ran into stuff. However, we could tell she is very smart and a great listener. But, really just wanted to know more about her. Well, when the vet called to let me know that she was out of surgery and doing fine, he also said yes, she was critically blind, and that it was not something that could be fixed. He also said after looking at her closer, that she was more like 8 to 10 years old. I told him I am not giving her back. We are so glad that she is ours and really believe she was meant for us. I mean most people would not want to take a 8 year old, blind dog. I guess we are not most people. She really is a great dog. We did change her name. We changed it to Foxy because she is red and white and one of the first days she just looked like a fox all curled up. I guess we could have named her Lucky, but we are the lucky ones and Foxy is too! Now, on to my card .... I have been waiting for the store to get in these dog stamps and dies from My Favorite Things, but I decided I couldn't wait anymore because I really wanted to make Natalie a thank you card. I made it from Foxy ... Enjoy!
Hello! I am back today for the share between Debbie and I. Let's get right to it. I will show you my card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we both used. Enjoy!

Hello! As you know, for the last several months, every time I need a special card, I think of making a shaker card. I needed a birthday card last week, so I did it again. I might be a little addicted to these fun cards! A friend of mine had an order sent to my house because she was going to be out of town. She said I could stamp them if I wanted. You saw one of the penguins from the set on Tuesday and this card shows another. (thanks again Karolyn!) Here is my fun shaker card ... enjoy!
Hello! Last week and this week I have been trying to get caught up on sharing cards that I made a couple of months ago that I had not shown you. Today, I have the last two of that group. They are basically the same card, but are different colors. Enjoy!
Hello! I am back to show you a couple more cards that I made a while back. I am the secretary/treasurer for our United Methodist Women's group and I was asked to send a thank you note to a man that gave money to our group and also an acknowledgment of other monies received, all in memory of his mother. They wanted me to use a note card that the church has but I said I would make them, but I would keep them simple and I did ... enjoy!
Hello! Sometimes the snail mail system does not cooperate. The cards that I share on Saturday's from Debbie and I are actually sent through the mail and if some week I don't receive hers before Saturday, then my Saturday post gets delayed. There have been a bunch of weeks that I haven't gotten mine in the mail until Thursday or Friday, which makes Debbie have to wait on it, but it doesn't affect me showing both cards on Saturday on my blog. However Debbie got hers in the mail on Wed. which "should" have given it plenty of time for me to get it, except when the snail mail system doesn't cooperate! I bet you know what I mean! So, better late than never ... I will show you my card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we both used. Enjoy!

Hello! As promised from yesterday, I am showing some cards that I made a while back that I haven't shown you yet. I have three to show you today. One is a simple sympathy card, and the other two could be for multiple occasions including sympathy, get well or just thinking of you. Enjoy!
Hello! When I make cards, I always put them on my computer so that I can put them here on the blog for you to see. Well, it seems that I have quite a number of cards that I made a couple of months ago just sitting in a folder waiting for me to write a blog post to show you! That is pretty darn bad. We are going to fix that right now! Here are a couple of pretty cards that could be for either sympathy or get well. Enjoy!
Hello! Last week I started working on my next class and finished two of the three projects, but then I had to put it on hold because family was coming for the 4th of July weekend. I finally got it all finished this week. I am happy to be able to share it here with you. I try to come up with the next month's class around the time that I am teaching the current month's class so that I am at the store to be able to pick up papers, stamps and dies for the next one. This time I really didn't have a plan on what I wanted to do next. The same day I taught, I had brought in a project, a trio of mini note cards with a matching box, that I had made for the store's design team. Just for fun, I showed it in my classes. In both classes, I had requests that I teach it. Okay, that is a beginning. Then, while I was at the store, Carolyn, the owner, asked if I would use some pre packaged box cards in my next class. Hmmm.... boxes ...adding one more project and we have my July class called "All Boxed in for Gifting"! So, here are the three projects you will create. Enjoy!
First up, is the trio of notecards with the box. Note, because a very similar design to this is actually my design team project and it is not set to go live on the store's blog until the 13rh, I am giving you only a group photo ...
Hello! Happy 4th of July! I have the share between Debbie and I with 4th of July cards (of course)! And at the end, I am also sharing a card I got in the mail from a stamping friend! First, the share ... I will show you my card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we both used. Enjoy!
