WOYWW # 385--Ready to Crop!

Hi All,

Another week has lumbered by and I'm sitting here scratching my head like I have fleas just trying to remember what I did!!  It must have been non-eventful...otherwise I would remember it right?  It has been warmer than normal, almost 85 in NE Ohio today.  The leaves on the trees are changing this week. Glorious reds, oranges and yellows.  It won't be long before they are gone with the wind!

Let's move on to the hear & now.  It's WOYWW # 385.  If you're wondering what WOYWW is, hop on in and visit Julia's Stamping Ground.  You can find out more, but please make sure you say hello to Julia and stop on in and leave some friendship to all the other wonderful folks on the list.  We all love to hear from you!

My desk is really pretty clean today.  I've been gathering supplies for a crop this weekend.  I've pulled together some pages that have yet to be completed with embellishments or pictures.  Some of these have been hanging around since last year.  You know the ones...you start them and then find something prettier to work on!  I think most of us are guilty of having more than one project going on at a time...that's why they are called CRAFTS....plural of craft.  I mean really.. who CRAFT??!!

Here's a couple of those crafts I made.

This is from the Stampin Up set From the Herd.  I love the whimsical looks on the faces of the animals.  I hand cut the llama as well as the balloons.  If you notice the string without the balloon, when you open the card up..there is it.  Just a bit of surprise.

I did the same for the card below, but I added a little something something on the balloon.

I hope this brings a smile!
 

See you next week...
Until then
Throw kindness around like confetti!
Hugs
Chris

  3. Hi Chris. Those images are such fun! Great work. My hubby used to call my mass of projects my "Unfinished symphonies"!! He thought that if Schubert could have one, then so could I!
    Take care. God bless.

  4. great looking pages. I wish we had someplace around here we could go to crop each week like we used to I used to make a lot more cards and layouts back then. It has been in the 90's most days here but dropped down to low 60's for one day and everyone was in woolies and jeans…so funny! Have a great week. Vickie #11

  13. Yes! I always have more than one craft going on at a time. It leaves me a little scattered, but with plenty of options. Those cards are really just TOO CUTE!! I adore the animals and may have to find that stamp set for myself. Oh, and the balloon surprise, what a neat touch! Here's hoping this week is a bit more memorable. . .in a good way!

  17. Oh, I'm completely with you about forgetting what happened in the previous days!! Someone can ask me what I did yesterday and I have to mentally walk myself through the day to recall how I spent my hours!! I put it down to being very busy and always being on the go, lol (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
