Card number two

This second card is one that I made using a scrapbook kit. I used a couple different scrapbook papers and stickers from the kit to put this together.

The inside has a bit of a pop-up mechanism that adds a little bit of fun

I didn't realize till I was done that I actually glued down the 3 strips of cardstock wrong. You'll see in the picture below the top and bottom strip are glued to the front of the mechanism and the middle is glued to the back. It should have been the other way around. I guess it really doesn't make much difference either way. It just makes my card unique.

Card experiments

I've been doing some experimenting with different kinds of cards. I have three new ones to show and I'll break it up into one a day. The first one is called a swing card. The reason it's called that is because there's a cut-out shape on the front that will swing when you open the card.

I haven't finished this one off with an inside sentiment yet but the scrapbook paper I used on the inside kind of takes care of that for me.

Not everybody loves me

A week or so ago I had a customer complaint about me. I saw him standing there holding out a white cream filled chocolate iced donut. Picture is for simulation.

 I heard the deli manager say to him no we don't have anymore so I walked over and asked if there was something I could help him with. I didn't quite catch what he was saying but I told him no I'm sorry I don't have anymore of those donuts with the maple frosting. He said something else again I didn't quite catch and I said oh did you mean you wanted a container of the maple frosting? His response was "well I suppose I can scrape it off myself and put the maple on if you want to just give me a container." Then I said oh I'm sorry you wanted me to just scrape it off and put maple on it. And then I added "I'm sorry, I wasn't catching what you were asking for. " I didn't hear him say it but the deli manager said that he said I don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth. Then I heard later on that after he left the deli bakery area he went up front and complained about me. Some days I feel like I can't do anything right

My yearly photo of the lilies

No year would be complete without taking a picture of the lilies that grow on the side of my house. The sun was a bit on the bright side when I took these so I was shooting in the dark so to speak . I had no idea what I had until I got in the house to look at the pictures on the phone
