Oh and yeah it's still under construction so please be patient! It will take a while to work out the bugs and get everything uploaded but it will be worth it! (I hope).
It's been a while since I posted. The last of March and April, so far, have been eventful. I had a dear uncle and cousin, both passed away on the same day. They were uncle and nephew to each other. My favorite uncle, on my mom's side, was 97 when he pass. My cousin, was 87. I am close with one of his daughters.
Ironically last year at my dad's funeral I handed her a card for her birthday at my dad's funeral. This year, at her dad's funeral, she hand delivered one to me. My birthday rested between both of their funerals. So I was gone for a week for the funerals and visitations.
After I got back it took me a week to recoup, due to my chronic fatigue. Well, I rested up enough to attend Stampin' Ups Onstage Local in Minneapolis! What a blast! (I'm still recouping) Lots of fun new products to play with and got the NEW 2017-2018 catalog. I was able to place my Pre-Preorder! Demonstrators who did not attend Onstage can preorder in May, we got to preorder this weekend! So, when I get my order, I will be able to show you my goodies! Sorry can't show you the inside of the catalog until June.
But I do want to share with you one of my favorite bundles from the Occasions catalog! Nailed it stamp set and the Build it Framelits! You can still order from the Occasions catalog until May 31!
I CASE'D this card from Rose Parker. I made a couple small changes. In the video I forgot to add the embellishments, the little screw heads. Aren't they just darling? Well a guy probably wouldn't want to hear that. LOL.
I also forgot to mention in the video that for the hammer, the saw and the screw driver handles I used a scrap of Soft Suede to cut them from. I would also use a glue dot to secure the tools in the toolbox, unless, like me you have little ones who will love to play with them. I might make a few extra just for that reason. :-)
Here's the video. I'm trying out some alternative video techniques, so there's a few glitches here and there. Hope you'll be patient and forgive me!
