Find your wings and follow your heart

Hey there y'all! Whewww it's been a LONG time since I've updated. But I have plenty to share with you, I can assure you that. Recently I got a new customer who is ordering cards in bulk from me, 50 at a time. I've completed 2 orders in the last month, that is some crazy crafting time. I duplicated a lot of cards and just made the layout, colors and embellishments a bit different on each one.

For this first set of cards, they are replicates of a card I made a few months back. They turned out so beautiful just as they did the first time I made them.
Here's a sneak peek, click below to see the cards!

Oh Deer! Christmas!

Halloween Happened...

And so did my crafting time making Halloween cards!!!
As I said the other day, I know that I'm very far behind on sharing projects, so here I am with an update and some cute Halloween cards that I made for Halloween.

Here is a sneak peek, click below to see the rest.

Ohhh Baby! Sweet new Nephew...

Hello World! Said my new baby Nephew, Daxton on June 5, 2015! He wasn't ready to see the world yet, they had to pull him outta his mama (My favorite SIL) with a vacuum suction cup! But, he made it out and is such a big boy now, growing bigger and stronger every day. He has so much family and is SO loved.

Click below to see the pics of the card I made for him, in the colors his mama had selected for his "baby colors".

WOOD you still be mine? A cute beaver Valentine!

I had a lot of fun making this Valentine's Day card for my hubby! Though I was having a very difficult time with my bipolar at the time I was working on this card, I put my mind to it and I got this done!
It's sometimes difficult making "cute" cards for my hubby that don't turn out 'girly'. I know a lot of my card making friends have this same problem. I actually had to turn to my card making friends in one of my Facebook groups to get help with the colors for this card. Thankfully, several of the ladies threw out the same color suggestions of red and yellow or red and gold.
That helped me greatly in picking the papers for this card. I originally had teal, rose pink and brown picked out. ICK! I'm so glad my friends were able to help me out in the color selection.

Anyhow, I got to use this CUTE beaver stamp that I have to make hubby's card, and I added a lot of other cute elements to make the card complete, including getting to use my new sewing machine that I got for Christmas, to sew some borders on the card (inside and out).

Here's a sneak peek at the card, click below to see the rest of the pics.

Hello...Zombie?! Hello Kitty...Zombies!!

2 more of my 20 Halloween cards!!

I don't much like "Hello Kitty". I mean, she is REALLY over utilized. In the last few months, I've seen Hello Kitty blenders, microwaves, laptops, hair dryers, curling irons, and even Hello Kitty SHOES. 

But, I do have a few friends who really adore her. I mean, when I was a teenager, I was all about how adorable she was, but I've just totally outgrown her, I guess because I see her EVERYWHERE!

anyhow, I made my friend Denise and my Auntie Erica a Hello Kitty ZOMBIE card for Halloween. I do think she is absolutely adorable...as a zombie! LOL

Here is a sneak peek, click below to see the rest!

Ok, Here's a card!!!

Hey y'all!!!! What's goin' on? I know I was here back in October and said that I'd be back shortly with a post of alllllllllllll the AWESOME and AMAZING Halloween cards that I did, and I know I never came back to post, but a LOT has been going on lately!!! And to be honest, life, and my Bipolar has just completely gotten in the way of me being able to sit down and do a post.

But, alas, HERE I AM WITH A CARD!!!
So, "last" week, on Wednesday the 26th, the day before Thanksgiving, I had to rush and make my brother and his wife, my FAVORITEEEEEEEEE sister in law, a Christmas card. They were here visiting for thanksgiving, but we did our Christmas since they will be in Montana for Christmas with her family.
But, I can say, my Christmas gift was a beautiful Big Shot machine. Mine is still in storage in Vermont and I was using my mom's. So, my brother and SIL got me my very own! (I'll post a pic of the gorgeous one I got, at the end of the post!)

Oh, and BTW, I'm going to be an AUNTIE, again. yeah, so my prego SIL gets to spend Christmas with her family, but I got to spend thanksgiving with her. :D
Anyhow, here is the card I made them.... sneak peek, click below to see the rest.

A Sweet Hello and a small update...

Hey all, thanks for stopping by to see me and my creations again. As you can see, I was not only busy making cards over the last few months, I've also been super busy with my blog posts. I had been seriously neglecting my blog because most of the time, I just didn't have time to update after making stuff, or I just didn't feel like.

I've been on and off my psych meds, mostly off, for the past year since Moving back to Vegas from Kentucky. It was a pretty stressful move, we actually left Kentucky and took us, our furbabies and all our stuff on a very long (but beautiful) trip further up the East coast through the Adirondacks and up to Vermont. Unforeseen circumstances arose and we had to leave Vermont to come to Vegas. Needless to say, neither hubby nor I were very happy about that, Vegas was the last place we ever thought we'd move back to, for any reason! Vermont was absolutely gorgeous, the weather was AMAZING and our close friend was there.
But, we are here... ever since we got here, it's been nothing but a fight with the system and the doctors. The mental health system here really sucks. I've been fighting with them for a whole year, yes, a year this month, to get in for med treatment and counseling. Being bipolar is hard, but even more difficult when I live to live with the stress and voices and such and deal with all the anxiety and not get any help for it, especially when I WANT and NEED the help.

Crafting really is my ONLY outlet for my stress and frustration. it takes me to a place where I can be free to express myself, whereas I can't do that in my everyday life, because well, let's just say I'd probably get locked up a lot more than I do. :-/

Anyhow, after a year of fighting with mental health, and after them involuntarily putting me in the hospital the first time I got in with them, I finally got in with them again, and am now on new psych meds.
Not on what I was on before, but on 3 new meds, so hopefully this combo will start helping soon. It's been a week since I started on them. and I can't wait for them to start working.

Anyhow, here is a CARD update. I had a really fun time making these, so here is a sneak peek, click below to see the full cards. I made 3 of the same layout, just different colors...

Fabulous Flowers... For My Ma...

I wanted to make a card for my ma to let her know I've been thinking of her. she has been working really hard to help my daddy get their new business up and running... she has actually been working 2 jobs! Her day job as a school bus driver, getting up at 330 in the morning to be to the yard by 430, get her pre-trip bus inspection done, and her paperwork, then she goes off to pick up her kids and drops them off... she takes her bus clear back across town to the yard to pick up her car, then drives across town again to get to the new tool repair shop that her and daddy bought and she does all the book keeping and invoicing for a few hours, then goes back across town, picks up her bus and goes and gets her kids, takes her bus back to yard, drives back across town to the shop works until about 8pm or so and then goes home, and starts her day all over again the next day. I know it isn't easy for her and she is highly unappreciated by many people, my daddy EXCLUDED. he's very happy to have her there helping...

I thought it would be a nice surprise to send her this card. here is a sneak peek, click the clicky link to see the rest...
