Tick Warning !!




TICK WARNING!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's important.

Please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up,

DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!
They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

No stamp picture today I have been busy making a table cloth and wanted to share. My mom asked me to make this for the cake table for Jenny's upcoming wedding. I really like the way that it turned out. It is a layer of tulle fabric batting and another layer of fabric. The flowers are sewn on by machine with monofilament thread. I had never worked on my machine with this type of thread before, and I can't say that I have any real interest in working with it in the near future. Haha actually it could've been worse but it wasn't great to sew with. It doesn't break though but got kind of messy at times. I hand finished the edges and used the same thread, I decided that it is very hard to thread a little needle with clear thread that did turn out to be the very worst part of it. It was a fun project though and I really like the way that it turned out. I think that a bed spread would be pretty although not practical and with the tulle it also wouldn't hold up very well. Wouldn't work around my house since every time there is a clean bed spread on our bed it is just an invitation for someone to spill or get sick on it. But then that it was makes life so unpredictable and exciting. After all the fun doesn't really start until someone throws up right? Thanks for looking.

Another quick post this is a purse card that I made up real simple pattern I started with a regular card and just started cutting with my cutter till I got the shape that I wanted. I think that it turned out pretty cute and am thinking that I am going to make some more this weekend in different colors. The strap is made with the sequins that are strung together. You can get them in the notion section at the fabric store. I got mine from Hobby Lobby my favorite craft store. They come in all sorts of colors and were a lot of fun to work with. It is also a lot easier to just glue them to paper rather then try and hand sew them on to material:) Thanks for looking and hope that everyone has a great weekend.

Ok here is the tag card that I meant to upload yesterday. The one that I put on yesterday is a pop up card as you noticed. This is also using retired paper but still a favorite. It is different shades of purple although I don't think that it came out that well in the picture. Thanks for looking.

Just a quick post before I go to work. This is done with a retired paper from stampin up I don't remember what it was called but I have more cards to post using the same paper in different colors. It is one of my favorites which makes me sad since it is almost gone. It's also a tag card which is one of my favorite types of cards hadn't made any in awhile and now I am hooked. The large flower actually has a rhinestone in the middle of it the others are just silver brads.
Thanks for looking.

Just another quick picture post.

We have been having some serious internet and phone issues around here since Saturday. I made this for an auction in the neighborhood. Composition book along with a matching paper clip bookmark. I've been busy stamping all week more to add hopefully I will be able to download more over the next couple of days. They have now determined that our problems are not inside our house it is something affecting more then just us. Hopefully it will be fixed soon;)
Thanks for looking.

No cards to post today I got side tracked trying to straigten up the scrap room. What a mess. But by Saturday everything should be back the way I want it to be so I am hoping to get some time to stamp. But this is a favorite picture we have the big one in the living room we had it done in Florida last time we were there. Next time you are there got to the little shop that the figment ride opens up into and they will put you in any picture. Then if you take the picture over to the jewelry shop in mgm studios you can purchase a watch and they will put the picture on the face of it. It is really cool. Also my favorite watch. Oh and picture. Thanks for looking.

Ok I have been in a kind of funk for the last couple of months and really haven't felt like stamping much. I finally feel like I am coming out of it though and spent a little time stamping today. I didn't get the light box out to use instead stuck the card on a magnet board hanging on the wall. The picture could have been better sorry. But this is an acetate card it is kind of hard to see the acetate it is only about an 1/8 of an inch bigger then the black paper so you don't see a whole lot of it. I do like the way that it turned out though and it is with my very favorite stamp set;)



Thanks for looking and hope that everyone is having a great summer.
