Bring on the Blue

Well grandson number 3 is on the way, my son and his fiancee found out friday that they are expecting a christmas miracle on the 20th of December, and its going to be a boy, my daughter has 2 boys so we have renamed our house "BoysRUs", its so exciting. So I made Katie and Bryan this card, I borrowed the title from my friend Tara, she did a card and it was so appropriate, I have used the Whiff of Joy image and have colored her with my copics and done with paper from a Baby Boy pad I found in my stash, isn't she cute.

My City Artesans

I have joined a new venture, an online way of putting my cards out there, if you go to www.mycityartesans.ca and click on cards you will see Nannajanscardz. The people there have been so helpful to me getting my page organized. Through them, I will be joining other artesans featured on the website on Saturday July 23 from l0-6 in Whitby, at HarborDays Art by the Lake, I am so excited, if you are going to be in the area, there is no charge for admission, pop by and see me!!!!

Wishing hubby a very happy birthday!!

I had to do a few cards this week but the most important one I had to do was for the love of my life, I always do a romantic card but this year I did a fun one, its from Make it Crafty digi image humorous senior and I just made me smile, so I did with bright colors, not that this is what he wears, trust me, but I thought it would make him laugh. The other one I did was for a friend who wanted a 65th card for a friend who collects antiques, she loved it, it was very hard finding embellishments but I managed, the next card I did for my friend Karen who helped me at artists in the garden, its a center step card we learned from our friend Gail, thanks Gail for the sample, but it was fun to do. It was made with Martha's new punch Cherish!!

Room all cleaned and ready for more cards!!

Okay, I am a messy worker but my room is all cleaned up and ready to go again, its funny because everything else in life I do I clean as I go, but doing cards I am very messy, its okay, I can close my door when I am finished and not worry about it, but its all cleaned, it might look untidy but I know exactly where everything is and my copics are all back in their home location.

I know, I know, one card was duplicated

Okay, I loved it so much I posted it twice, no I didn't I am not computer savvy enough to remove the picture, but here are a few more cards!!

A very successful weekend

As most of you know, I had my first card show this weekend in support of Hearth Place, a wonderful cancer support centre, well my buddy Karen and I were at this amazing garden in Greenwood, thanks Tom and Gerrie for your hospitality, well I sold 34 cards, got an order for 5 cards, and was asked to teach a womens group on how to make cards so that pleased me, it was a very hot day but very fun and was well worth all the time and effort I put into my cards. So now its time to clean my craft room, that will take me all of a day and give my card making a rest and get my house cleaned. Thanks Karen for all your love and support also my golden girl buddies for all your encouragement. Here are a bunch of my cards that I had for sale!!!

I am still alive

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on the blog lately, but I have been rather busy, my Japanese card that I did got some attention, and I was asked by Artists in the Garden, a local fundraiser for an amazing place called Hearth Place, a cancer support centre, for the Durham region, well I was asked to be an artisan at their fundraiser so I took on the challenge, well my goal first of all was l00 cards, well I have completed l56, yes thats one hundred and fifty six cards, so I have spent every waking moment I have, remember I work fulltime as well, every morning, every day off, every weekend off, doing cards, I have loved every minute of it and am so pleased with my work. I have posted some pics of my craft room, I am a messy worker and one of my cards, I will post some more next week but I have done a large variety of cards and can't wait for Saturday, my dad made me my card stand, my hubby has put up with a messy house and alot of dinnerless nights, but I am so happy with what I have done, I will let you know how I made out next week, anyway will be back next week, hope everyone is well!!
