Hi! I just came out of the stamping room after some fun play time making sewing themed tags. I sure do love to play in there. One of my favorite things to do!
It was a busy day in Mayberry today. I made a trip to the bank early this morning, baked Mom's birthday cake for her party on Saturday and decorated it this evening and stuck it in the freezer. I put in a stamping order, took a nap :-D, cooked supper and made up 3 plates of food to have for future dinners. I baked banana muffins and I made brownies to take out to Di's tomorrow. We have a play date planned. So all in all it was a pretty productive day!
I am using my new to me, old metal flower frog for the first time today that the tags are sitting on. I have been wanting one for some time as that is the way most card makers take pictures of there cards and it looks pretty cool. I was able to find some on Ebay and bought a batch. If you would like one....email me or leave a comment, and I will sell you one. I bought a batch of 5 as it was the only way to get a decent price on them. The individual ones were very expensive. Probably hard to find. I have been looking for a year or so, and have not seen them any where in my travels. One night I was talking to Corrinne on the phone and some how in the conversation, she mentioned them. I did not know what they were called. Once I found that out, I was able to find them on Ebay.. In the eight years I ran antique stores, not once did I see one of these. We always sold glass flower frogs, so I did not have a clue that these "things" that they were displaying cards on were called "metal flower frogs". A person learns some thing new all the time! Have a good one....Elaine

Just my type card
This card is one that we made at the February stamping events. It features the Button Button stamp and it was embossed with Black Craft Ink. The typewriter is from the stamp set Puns from the past. It works so well with the Newsprint Designer paper that is on the bottom of the card. Kind of an retro blast from the past, and it could easily be a male or female card. The button was cut from a Stampin' UP! button die with the Big Shot.
I am having a busy week here in Milwaukee. I took pictures before I left town of projects I had finished and uploaded them onto the blog so that all I would have to do is write the blog posts while I was here., but as you can see, that hasn't been happening too often! I spend most of my days watching and playing with Mason so Jenna can get some projects done. We also have made a couple of shopping trips. I got my haircut today and I babysat tonight so the kids could go out to eat. Mason is growing right before my eyes this week. Every day he is changing and is learning new tricks. We have been having a great time together and I have been loving every minute of it. He just turned 8 months old on the 18th. The time sure has gone fast! I need to hit the hay, morning will come too fast!! Elaine
