Card Making and Genealogy

Hi everyone. Goodness, this month is flying by fast. Last Thursday I went to make cards at a friends house and I am just now putting them up on my blog....oh well, "better late then never" as the old saying goes.
 In this picture and the one below, is the neatest card I have ever seen or made. The box of flowers actually folds up and will fit in an A2 envelope. It was really fun to make and very easy too.
 I folded the box up and it fell open this way. Mailing this card would probably cost a little bit more to mail. But what a pleasant surprise to receive a card like this.
 This card is called "spotlight" where you stamp the flower twice, then color the part you want highlighted, layer on cardstock, lining up the flower with the other stamped flower. Nice effect.
 This is a St. Patrick's Day Card. All the three leaf clovers are colored with copic makers and glitter glue and layered on cardstock and printed paper.
This was a very easy card. Each bird stamped on a square then colored in with markers, each corner punched with a round punch and placed on cardstock.....simple, simple simple.

So there you have it, four fun cards to make. I usually keep these cards for about a year or so, and if I have never duplicated them at some point in time or another, they end up going to Hospice Health Care for someone else to enjoy.

Been working diligently on my "Family Tree" entering names, birth and death dates and other info. It's been an interesting study. My husband said it was a waste of time...and all that info comes from Latter Day Saints. I don't think so, theres just too much info gathered to come from one place. I had to remind him that in Matthew chapter 1, we find Jesus' genealogy, I think there is at least 14 generations mentioned. That is quite a long line of family. So really, I don't see anything wrong with wanting to find out where I come from. If Jesus knew, so can I.

Well, time to close, you all have a great day and keep looking up. Cheers ~ Louise

Happy Day Spring Cards

Hi everyone...hope you are enjoying this day....it's suppose to be in the 30's this weekend. My computer temp is saying 38 degrees with partly cloudy/sunny skies and a little snow....well that has all bases covered, so whatever happens, the computer/weatherman won't be in trouble. Hahahaha!!!
Today I am adding some cards I made for Spring to my blog. I put them in sets of 6 and am selling them for $9.00+ postage $2.50 (that would be $11.50 a set). If you are interested in buying a set of these cards, just click on my Etsy store to the right of my blog, the link will take you directly to my Etsy store. Click on the set you like and to the right is the button for you to buy, follow the directions and you can either pay with a credit card or by Paypal.
I usually sell my cards for $3.00 a card, so this is a "real deal" at $1.50 a card. Each card will come with an envelope.
The verses inside the cards include, "Birthday Blessings", "Sweet Moments", "It's your day, enjoy", "Your Special", "Sending Happy Thoughts" and "Oh What Fun".
These cute cards can be for Birthday, Thinking of You, Thank You, Cheer up, or just about anything you would desire.
I have started to make Easter Cards and probably will start on Mother's Day/Father's Day Cards also. I wasen't much into making St Patrick this year for some reason...maybe next year. Either these seasons are coming faster or I am getting slower at making cards, not sure.

Hospice is coming up in April, so I need to get cards ready for that project also. Busy, busy, never a dull moment in the life of Louise.

So you all have a great day and keep looking up....Spring is coming. So tomorrow, don't forget to SPRING your clocks forward, it's daylight savings. We lose an hour of sleep but we gain more light....YAY!!!
Cheers ~ Louise

Be Yourself Everyone Else is Taken - A Few New Cards

Today I shall post some new cards that I plan on putting in my Etsy store. Guess I am in a blue mood for what ever reason. The card up above was made a couple of months ago after I had bought the bird background and later picked up the bird stamp, the two just seemed to go together. The bird is colored in with copic markers and then cut out.

I have been seeing some cards on the internet which use the fiskers cloud punches and thought they were really cute. There was even a card where the artist used the cloud for a tree, turning it upside-down and was in green......naturally! So this is my rendition of a card I saw on the internet. This card will make it to my Etsy store also in the next few days.

Just added this cute little card to my Etsy store today.......it is very popular already. Sold one card (it had 5 duckies in a row) and also have an order for another card to be sent as a Birthday card. The duckies are stamped, colored in with copic markers then cut out and glued on cardstock. This little card is selling for $3.50 + postage in my Etsy store: www.cards4ubylouise.etsy.com

Well, I shall close this blog for today.....tis getting late and I have to do some more work on the computer.......been looking for my ancestors via genealogy sites, has been very interesting to say the least. Soooooo, Cheers ~ Louise
