Goodnight, sweet dreams, and I'll catch up with everyone again tomorrow!

Hi everybody! Remember me?! How are y'all doing?! Our camping trip was phenomenal. The campground was so.nice- quiet, private, full of families and kids; the lake was gorgeous- clean, sandy, wet; and the area we camped in was just simply stunning. If any of my fans and readers live in the Elk Point/St. Paul/Two Hills/Col.d Lake area, you are incredibly lucky ducks. I've never been to that part of the province, and I've fallen in love with it. I love the hills, the trees, the lakes...just plain gorgeous. I've concluded the Whitney Lakes Provincial Parks is my most favorite place to camp. Thus far. Anyone ever been there? What are your thoughts? Does anyone remember THESE cards? I know I made them quite some time ago. I had a "Duh!!" moment this afternoon, and posed a question to my group page, asking my fans if they would prefer each set of cards being different from the other, or if I should start replicating each of the sets, using different sentiments. The question is still open- I'd love for your input- but I'm thinking I'm going to start making duplicate sets of all the cards I have now, but variegate the sentiments between them all. I made up a list, which will include all the major holidays (Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines), and the major sentiments most cards implement (baby boy, baby girl, birthday, sympathy, thinking of you, etc). When the other, not so big, but still big in their own way (Halloween, Canada Day, Back to school, etc.) events roll around, I'll have a few OOAK's, or One of a Kinds for sale. That way I can integrate everything! I really need to sit down with a calendar and mark down all the holidays. And, considering my American friends, think of their holidays, too. As a result, here are the first two sets in the Doily Scallop collection: I splurged this afternoon, and bought some new paper packs and other goodies at Walmart, and I used some of the new patterned papers here. The Christmas cards were made using patterned papers from the 4x6 Sweet Nectar Designer Mat paper pad by EKSuccess; the patterned papers in the Just a Note cards are from the Patty Young Designs collection pack by Momenta. I'm absolutely loving that coral paired with the grey! I've got to remember that color palette! I also made another set of cards today, but its what triggered my decision to start replicating everything. I've reached a point where its gotten to be a bit frustrating to keep looking for inspiration (and not being satisfied or inspired by anything), and so I decided that it was time to switch gears. Come the New Year, I'll search for new inspiration (not that I'll stop collecting it!!); its just that I'll start implementing it in the New Year. So, here's the other set of cards: Early this morning, before the day wound up getting crazy and hectic, I completed these two projects: The ABC cards inspired the message centre that you see on the left side of the photo column. I didn't make it with anyone in mind- or anyone in particular- it just sort of came to be! I am open to selling it, if there is enough interest in purchasing it. $10.00 CAD, and its yours! Otherwise, I may give it to the girls' Pre-Kindergarten teacher when they start school. Just as a nice thought/gesture type of thing. I used mini clothespins to hold the paper in place. When she runs out of paper, she can easily add more! This can also be customized to anything you want- shopping list, notes, you name it, I'll get it done! Pretty impressive for a day without kids, wouldn't you say?! The next three weeks are going to be a.ma.zing!!! (ALthough we'll be gone for another week in there, too). Coming up tomorrow, I'll be starting on a new mini album for a repeat customer. I'm pretty excited to be starting on it. Unfortunately, the wedding album I was so excited about, appears to have fallen through. But, no worries! I'm so happy to be working on this for my customer!
Goodnight, sweet dreams, and I'll catch up with everyone again tomorrow!
