Almost there...

Okay...so I meant to get on here and get this blog updated this weekend, but instead I enjoyed some down time with the family. I did, however, get some new photos and projects completed, the kids finished their thank you cards (photos soon!) and we're counting down till the routines are back in place!

Hope you had a great holiday and even some fun time!

See ya soon!

Looking Forward to the New Year!

Hi, All!
I'm sure if you've come by the blog lately, you've been a bit surprised by the 'mess!' Well, life happens while you're making plans! I've gotten a (mostly) day job and have had some nasty computer problems, hence the lack of photos. Having to change up my blogs while trying to prep for the holidays, learn the new job and still do all the normal stuff has really taken over my life.

Haven't had time to blog or post here much (obviously!), but you can keep up with me by checking back here to see my Twitter (posts on the left) or if you're really dedicated you can subscribe to my Twitter posts by clicking on the link (under my Twitter posts on the left of the blog) that says "follow me on Twitter" and then just follow the prompts! I'll be sure to let you know when I start posting projects again!

I sure have missed visiting everyone's blogs and posting projects. Hoping the new year will bring some peace and order back into my crazy life!

Love and miss you,

Angi

The Little Things

(ETA: Click here to see my card in my Splitcoaststampers gallery.)

I've been working on projects here and there, but haven't had the time to actually get the photos, then get them edited or uploaded here. In the last few weeks, I've made cards, bookmarks, boxes and altered clipboards. I joined a local card swap group of fantastic ladies. This was the card I made for my first swap. (Christmas cards are next!) I love seeing the different styles and having cards on hand when I need them.




This card was pretty simple...punched edge, pierced corner, scored lines...the most time consuming part was cutting out the 10 flower heads.

The sentiment is from a retired SU! set. It says:

It's the little things that make life Big.

Isn't that the truth?

If you have any questions about this project or anything else you find on my blog, send me an email!

Stampin' Hugs,

Angi

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

I see that {again} that it's been awhile since I've posted any projects...well...I did have an excuse, right? Moving to a new continent, buying my first home, sending the oldest off to college...

Well, the family is getting settled in and life is moving on! Got a few projects to share later this week. The Studio (love the way that sounds!) is coming together nicely, too!

I miss all of you crafty people! I have a lot of blurfing to do and can't wait to catch up with you on your blog!

big hugs,

Angi

Just a little tag

(ETA: Click here to see the tags in my Splitcoaststampers Gallery.)

Wow! It's been over a month since I've posted something new here...and I'm still waiting for my supplies. I did keep a few things back when the majority of my stuff was packed up. But since I wasn't sure how much our luggage already weighed, I ended up mailing a little, but leaving most of those crafting supplies to be packed up with my other baggage. Didn't want to pay heavy luggage charges at the airport - that's stampin' money! lol

I've been impatiently waiting for our deliveries - we're expecting 3 this month- and this coming week there are supposed to be two!


While we are waiting, I've got a little something to share - a few small tags that I made as part of a thank you to my Stamp Club group before I left Europe. (Hey, Girls!)


I loved making these - instant gratification! Usually, I forget to make myself one of anything I make, but I liked these so much that I made several extra! These were so easy to do...especially with the Big Shot. I had an older Sizzix tag die and used that to cut out tags out of the Kraft Cardstock. This is one of those projects that can be tailored to fit your needs...larger or smaller, any occasion or stamp set.

I can't wait for my crafting supplies to arrive, so I can get back to making stuff! Keep your fingers crossed for on time deliveries!

Stampin' hugs,

Angi
