I told you a while back that my daughter Pam came by and we worked on a project together for her friend. I had found a little “Heidi” Golden Book somewhere in my travels and had to buy it. It was one of my favorite stories growing up. I can still remember the anticipation as a little kid-after we had our baths and gotten ready for bed, it would be time for my sisters and I to hop up on the couch and listen to our mom read to us.

That would be Candace Jedrovitz! My daughter Maryanne picked a number and you were that number comment!

Thanks so much to all who took the time to listen to the show and leave me your kind comments! I hope you will continue to check in and see what’s new as the summer goes on. It’s easy to subscribe to this blog in a feed (little gold button right under my picture). When I put up a new post, you will be notified. Fun stuff is just around the corner…

Many thanks to Tiffany and the Inspired at Home family, that was a fun time!

Candace, please email me and let me know whether you would like MatBoard Magic or Foamboard Magic and also need your address.

There was some discussion of shaker cards on the Inspired at Home show the other night. I had heard of them but never made one. Maria Nerius was asking about the FoamWerks circle cutter. I was telling her that it cuts a perfect 1″- 6″ circle. So here is a card made using the circle cutter. If you click on the photo you can check out the perfect clean edges with no ragged edges or tears. This is one cool gadget. I may have to keep this out and fiddle around with it again…

I just finished my first podcast! It was fun once I got over being terrified 🙂 Tiffany Windsor, the host, is super organized and easy to talk to, along with her sisters Heidi and Candace. Their mom Aleene (inventor of “Tacky” glue) reminds me of my mom.

And I am invited back so I’m thinking that’s a good thing. Thanks to all who took the time to listen, call and chat on the chat line- you know who you are, CG’s.

If you didn’t get to listen but you would like to, the show will be edited and available to listen to. Click on the episode you would like to hear. More info on that later.

Now I am off to make 80 place cards and wedding thank you cards for one of my soon-to-be brides. The fun never stop around here 🙂 Really!

Reminder: tune in tomorrow night to Inspired at Home! NEW INFO
my segment will go on at about 7:13 PM.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!. Hope your year is great. I love you…

This card’s design came about by an ADD accident. I bought the EK Success birthday candles punch and couldn’t wait to try it out. I punched out a section of paper, admired it and laid it down on a pile of other stuff I was working on. Went and threw a load of wash in the machine, did some other things, came back and threw a small mat I had cut to accommodate a postage stamp on top of it. It looked so cute like that, I had to cut another one in the right color and size to fit an A-2 card. The turquoise and red really pop- love those colors together…

The khaki band going around the middle was printed on the computer trimmed with mini scallop scissors. The circle at the top is a disc of kraft mini-flute with a felt flower cutout from Queen & Co purchased at the Scrapbook show a few weeks ago all tied together with red hemp. The bottom is a base of the red matboard and turquoise felt on top (also Queen & Co). The red mat is layered on top of a light aqua card.

The funny thing is after making this card, I looked at it and it just didn’t fit Hayward’s personality- he’s more of a green/brown/earth tones guy. Maybe it will go to you!

Thanks to Maria Nerius who reviewed Matboard Magic and Foamboard Magic! Check out her site www.favecrafts.com! So many resources…
