Relax, Listen to Your Soul

After 30 days our internet problem is finally fixed!  I can't believe all the time it took to straighten out our issues.   We had a modem problem that was not detected and a weak signal from our service.  I will now breathe a sign of relief and be thankful this is behind me.

I have been making cards during all this fiasco, and did I mention I am also in the middle of a craft room renovation?  My elusive mojo arrived last night and I actually put together 3 cards.  Here is one I made last week using Create with TLC images:

card recipe:

"Relax, Listen to Your Soul" and vintage pin cushion image from TLC.  Bazzill and Georgia Pacific cardstock, design paper from my "stash".  Martha Stewart punch,  Spellbinders dies, Wild Orchid flower, distress inks and Recollection pearls.

I should heed this advice more often, my days are always full and I really need to budget my time better.

Halloween Howls and Pump-grins!

I thought that title would get your attention!  We are on the fast track to Halloween, all the stores are loading up with candy, costumes and decorations.  I love making Halloween cards, there are so many cute images and diecuts available to use and such gorgeous papers!  Today I have a card using Create with TLC images and design paper:

card recipe:

TLC Halloween Howls and Pump-grins, TLC design paper, Martha Stewart fence punch, Spellbinders dies, distress inks and Copic markers

I just love the two owls sitting on the branch and the howling tree with the black cat really give this an eerily delicious Halloween feel!  I am going to be making more Halloween cards and sharing them with you this month and next.

Coffee Anyone?

I don't know about everyone else, but caffeine is what gets my motor going in the mornings.  I've always said if I have a choice of something to eat for breakfast or coffee, coffee will win hands down every time!  I saw these delightful images at Create with TLC and thought it would be such fun to create a coffee collage!

card recipe:

digi image, sentiment and design paper from Create with TLC, Prima rose

This would be fun to share with your java buddies!  This was a lot of fun and quick to make.  I even used an old Spellbinder's die I "rediscovered".  I'm currently in the process of trying to redesign my craft room and finding some items I forgot I had.  I definitely need to have a craft sale and downsize my "stuff".

New from Create with TLC

Happy Labor Day!  I have two new cards to share with you today with two new images from Create with TLC.   I haven't been on my blog very much lately, I've been wrestling with my internet for the last week, seems like this happens every few months when you live in a rural area.

card recipe:

TLC images: "How Great is the Love The Father" and "Casting All Your Care

Upon Him",  Cuttlebug embossing folder, Cheery Lynn doily, Copic

markers, distress inks, Prima flower, Recollection pearls

I am in a card minstry in our church and we always need ideas.  I usually "hand deliver" the cards we make to save on shipping so I can always add some extra embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog today.  Thanks for stopping by, I love reading your comments and appreciate all your support!
