LTC Break

I am taking a break from LTC's.

I am missing scrapbooking and sewing and playing around with other crafts so much im having anxiety over these darn trading cards. Hahaha. One BIG problem is feeling like there is this expectation to do a great card that impresses people on my trading site. I can not live up to that, I dont want to live up to that, and it spoiled the fun of doing the cards for me.

So as of now im not making anymore for awhile, including the Carrie card.

And honestly I feel GREAT with my decision. :)

And another positive that can only mean more blog posts about cool things im making. Hahahaha YEAH!!!

Ugh!

With the kitchen in shambles, the Carrie card kicking my butt, and just lack of motivation I havent done crap lately. :(

I havent forgotten Mary and her cool advent calendar. I did make a sample one for practice and I think they are pretty cool. Small but very cool.

The Carrie card is due in 2 weeks so im going to get that done, even if I dont like it. And then get back to business!!

Hosting my First LTC swap!!!

Yikes. Im a little scared. But I know I have great ideas and Janie and Jordan with their great ideas so I want to get this started so I can implement some of those ideas.

So my first ever LTC swap is.....SideShow Banner art. You can google that to see what im talking about.

I think a set of these cards will be awesome to have.

I posted on my LTC site today and have gotten one response so far 'I would love to join but dont have enough pink stuff (carving material) I have to pinch my pennies these days. I hope you fill up and have some great cards' Lord, I hope that isnt a big..well I cant think of the dang word, it was right there on the tip of my tongue, DANGIT...well you know what I mean anyway.

I will keep you informed.

My Frist Contest....

Yahooo!!

Answer this trivia question about me and I will draw a name out of the correct winners to win:

An Advent Calendar!

Now the colors and embellishments will be different and I will fill it full of treasures before I mail it.

Question: What is my favorite garden flower?

I will give the contest 2 weeks and give everyone 3 trys.

Laffy Taffy Swap

Made this card for a swap based on the jokes on Laffy Taffy candy. I bought a few pieces and the jokes were dumb as hell but I picked one and went with it. So the joke is What has 4 legs and ticks? A dog with fleas. I kinds dont get it but then again maybe im thinking too hard. I mean I get it but..well...who cares. Its a dumb joke but I like how the card turned out. I only made 7 of these cards. Haha. I was in a time crunch. I signed up for a couple swaps for Fall. One is a Stephen King theme and the other is the 1950's theme. I already have my subjects picked out, now to find just the right image to carve. :) Im excited to make them. Both are fun and cool subjects. You will have to wait to see them!
