February Thank You's

  Nothing better to do on a day where you are snowed in but to make some cards! I got a little bit of organizing done and a couple more small boxes gone through from the move to the upstairs, but still much more to go. Although it has been great having everything upstairs now! I would have made nothing in the last couple weeks if I had to go to the basement because my knee has been aching so badly, but with my stuff being up here I have made 21 cards!!! Can you tell I am excited about that!

  When I was going through the boxes there was one that had some leftovers from some card kits and other cards I had made. There was one of my favorite thank you cards left over but it was all bent up and I was keeping it just to remind me to make more. Then I had a small bag of leftover hearts from some valentine cards last year and it was all on my desk when I was putting things away and I thought how cute would it be to combine them and make this months thank you's!!

Here is a picture that shows the thank you's I made last year that I loved so much.

 I can't believe I don't have a photo of just the card alone. 

And here are my new thank you cards for February!!

I had to change it some. As much as I LOVE the black and white polka dot paper I wanted to use the heart dsp from the new stacked with love designer series paper stack and it was not quite as wide as the strip on the other card so there is more of a white border around this card. I still used the same wonderful sentiment from the Another Thank You, photopoly set. The hearts are leftovers from some cards last year and the Hearts a flutter set and framelits. The sweetheart punch would be so cute here too!

Wine and Stamping?

What does wine have to do with stamping or scrapbooking? Nothing really, unless you happen to like to drink a glass while crafting, but that's not what I am getting at.  I have a tendency to see something and think "oh, I can use that!!!" but then it just sits around and I never get to it, or it doesn't work out quite like I thought it would.  But someone on a local facebook group posted this picture for sale:

My first thought was this would make a great big shot station for my classes!! So I got it.  I did use it and I even used it for the reason I bought it. It houses my big shot very nicely.  Before this I had my big shot on an old microwave stand that stood about waist high and my dies, etc were in some little plastic pull out drawers sitting next to it. I had to get up and cross the room to use the big shot or usually just brought it and put it on my table where there wasn't really room for it.  This is perfect height when I am sitting at my desk and sits behind me so I can just spin around, use the big shot and get back to work! 

(excuse the messy drywall behind, these were taken while my room was starting to be redone)

My big shot sits nicely on top, my framelits and cutting pads fit in the spot on top with it for easy access. 

My embossing folders are in the wine bottle slots, 

 And my newer stamps are in the bottom. 

The only problem with it is..... I can't use it for my classes like I had originally thought because it is too heavy to bring up the stairs!
