Some news and of course more cards!

All my doctor appointments & tests are over now...

I am waiting for the results of the endoscopy that was this past Monday and the biopsy he did on my stomach.  As for the other biopsy that I was supposed to have, I went to doctor and he didn't see any cells that were abnormal and so he did not perform the biopsy yesterday.  Thank God!!!  All is okay for that matter.  

Like I said, just waiting on word from the GI doc now.

Yes I have more cards to share with you all too!

I have been a card making machine here lately.  I am trying my hardest to get everything ready for this Saturday and the Brown Grass Festival in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.  It's supposed to be 91 degrees Saturday...ugh!  But I am still looking forward to it.

Here are my latest:

I love this little guy!!! 

The colorful Thank You cards are actually a nice big set consisting of 12 cards, same with the Get Well and the Hope cards; they are sets.

Oh and my Gypsy just decided to freeze up on me 2 days ago and not work no matter what I did and tech support couldn't help either.  So I am currently waiting on the shipping label to send it back to Provo Craft and they are going to send me a new Gypsy.  I love my Gypsy and was so bummed out when this happened.  But I will get a new on so hopefully that one will give me no problems.  It locked up after I updated it...has that ever happened to any of you?  Because the tech support said that that happens sometimes.  I wonder how you can avoid this and still get the needed updates; hmmm, I'll have to investigate that one.

For now this is all I have...I hope you all have a fantastic day and thank you again for stopping by and looking!

Take Care Everyone!

Card #2 for the Summer Card Camp 2011

Good afternoon everyone!  Hope your day is as sunny outside as mine is.

The only bad thing about that though is that inside here I am either freezing or hot.  There seems to be no pleasing Christy in the A/C department.  I'm just like this in the Winter though so I really don't understand why I am like this.  I know I cannot tolerate heat or even just being stuffy inside.

Eric and I went through a ton of clothes last night and it is just a never ending battle with our clothes.  At least my clothes just out of no where double and triple. One might think this is a great thing, but not when you have to wash it all and fold it {WHICH I DETEST FOLDING IT}.  Soooo anyway, we got all our winter and the "these don't fit me anymore" clothes out of the drawers and closets and stored away. 

OK, so about this card I made today.  Jennifer McGuire showed us how to make a card using a transparency.  This is something that I have always wanted to know how to do.  Well the card I ended up using vellum on it instead.  Every ink I used it seemed wanted to smear, not want to dry quick enough, not dark enough, blah blah blah.  So I switched it from a "Get Well" card to a "Just Because" card.  Actually IDK what type of card you would classify this in.  You tell me.

Here is the card front

Inside the card I also have the same orange

paper with the same butterflies stamped on it

using Vera Mark ink

Here is a bit of a close up of the sides

I used a Fiskars border punch and then the sky blue

is Stickles

This is the close-up of the vellum window with

the quote from Emily Dickenson. 

Surrounding it are more Stickles.

Just another full photo of the front



The one thing I was worried about was cutting the window in the correct place.  Aaaaaand, since I really do not have Sizzix dies that cut out these for me {I mainly use it to emboss}, I used my new Cricut 2 & Gypsy with the Storybook cartridge.  You wanna know something really cool?  It worked on the first try!  It cut perfectly centered.  I love being able to see the mat before I cut.  Both the newest Cricut does that as well as the Gypsy which makes crafting even more fun...if that's even a possibility?

Well I must end for now...If you didn't get a chance to see my WEEK 1 DAY 1 card just scroll down or click on this LINKY LINK RIGHT HERE and you will go right to it.

Thank you so much for stopping by again, I love having company!

Take Care Everyone!!!
