A very happy Friday to all of my peeps! What a nice day I had yesterday! I spent the morning getting the rest of Renee’s computer issues straightened out, 2 hours of my life I won’t get back! Thanks Microsoft! LOL! Sue stopped by the store so I got to wish her a Happy Birthday in person and give her her card! Renee got her a little chocolate cupcake too! Sandy stopped by to say hi and we played with some Altenew stamps. After they left I set out to make my card for last night’s Intro to Altenew class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! Nothing like cutting it close! There were 10 people scheduled and 14 showed up! YAY! We had so much fun and everyone left with a beautiful card and bunches of Altenew goodies so they can recreate their art at home! Bill stopped by on his way to say hello, love a visit from him! On my way home I stopped by Heather’s for a low key Thirsty Thursday. Brian was there and we sat and chatted and laughed as always! I got home around 11:30 and then set out to make my card for today! I don’t think that I have been to bed before 1:00AM in over a month but it’s all good!
The card that I made is for the Fab Friday Challenge! This time we have some colors…
A little patriotic, just in time for the 4th! My card is nice and simple! I have been really enjoying playing with die cuts lately! It’s all the My Monthly Hero Kit from this months fault! 😀 The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I adhered a piece of postage themed Washi Tape down the left side. The die cuts are from the Spellbinders Feather Shapeablilities, Hipster 1 and Hipster 2 Die D-Lites. I cut them from Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Night of Navy. My greeting is form the Hero Arts Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. I adhered the phone and feather to the card with Dot Runner and the greeting banner and coffee cup with Foam Tape. It needed a little something else so I added Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins and a few Studio Calico Wood Veneer Stars. I love the phone and coffee cup die cuts and I need to get some more of the Wood Veneer Stars! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge!

Oh my Justin – you certainly find the greatest Washi Tape. At first I thought the tape was actually from the USPS like what they secure packages with (priority mail and up only LOL!). The die cuts are just too cute. I just mailed out my 4th of July cards yesterday.
Sounds like you had a very, very successful class last night. 14? WOW! Looks like we will not only be calling you Artistic Justin but Successful Justin! It’s so exciting to hear how well you are doing! Have yourself a Fantastic Friday my friend! XXOO 🙂
I do try and find all sorts of goodies Grace! I wish I could remember where I got it from! LOL! It’s a really fun tape and yes, it’s looks like a mini version the USPS tape! Thanks!
The class was awesome! Lots more that I expected which is great! LOL! I hope that what you say is true! I’m really loving it all! Hope you had a great day my friend! XOXO 🙂
What an interesting and creative card, Justin. I love that you are using all kinds of different items than I have seen. I feel as though you are bringing us to another level of cardmaking with the different companies and I’m loving it. I think I’m going to have to get busy to keep up or perhaps I just need to continue admiring your work and CASE with items I have, plus a few additional things along the way. We’ll see how it goes. Keep up the good work. So glad you are enjoying your work. Have a great weekend.
Thank you HJ! I am having fun playing with all sorts of new goodies and sharing them with you! I do try and keep it interesting! You could use all sorts of die cuts and layer them together! I’m loving the store! You have a fantastic weekend! 🙂
interesting collage, but love it as usual! very nice of you to solve the computer issues for Renee, mine were solved today with a new laptop ;-/ note to self and others, do not fall asleep with a cup of tea and honey in your hand and laptop open on your lap! disaster!! ( I was sick though in my defence) Sooo much fun catching up with your blog though….have a fun weekend 🙂
Thank you Lynne! I have always had a knack for computers and I can’t sit by while someone struggles with them. LOL! Oops! Yes, liquids and laptops don’t make a good combo at all! Glad that you were able to get a new one! Maybe it was the universe telling you that it was time for a new one! Glad that you are feeling better! You gave a fun weekend too! 🙂
