PROJECT PLAYGROUND SPRINGING INTO SPRING

Spring will be here soon and with that comes, Baby Showers, Weddings, Graduations, Spring Birthdays and the end of school. Be prepared for all these events to come with some cards and fabulous projects made by you from my Project Playground. They do mean so much more to people. Take a couple hours and make some cards for those you care about and invite a friend to join you for the afternoon. As always, you will have a good variety of cards and projects to choose from on the Project Playground Shelves. You choose what you want to make in the time you have and pay only for what you make. There are simple projects, more elaborate projects and everything in between. This is cheap afternoon entertainment and you take home your projects to boot! This makes a great date with your daughter, mom, sister, friend, co-worker or neighbor.

Place: Oasis Angel Studio at my home 235 Sedona Drive, COS, CO 80921

Sidetracked in a good way!

I got a little bit side-tracked with my current goal of getting my scrap flip cards up and available for purchase on Etsy.com. I will do my best to get that accomplished by the end of February! In the meantime, I did get side-tracked with some of my left-over card parts for cards I designed for my project playgrounds of the past. I decided to do some card make-over's! It was actually very cool to take the parts and the sample of the original design and come up with a different card. Changes were mostly simple like changing the orientation of the card from horzontial to vertical or vise versa and/or changing the stamp and sentiment used. Some changes required a little bit of cutting here and there but in the end it was so cool to see the results. I had to keep going and do all that were in the shoeboxes on my project playground shelf. I will have to get a slideshow up of my results so you can see how cool this concept is. My next mission is to go through my boxes of card makings from my card buffets I use to do. No sense letting all that cutting go to waste! Another goal I am slowly working on is a ministry using my cards. That's all still a dream in my head but I am slowly getting things down on paper to plan it out. I did have to clean out some of my craft supply room which is one of our basement bedrooms. We have to make it liveable for when my mom comes out in August! Anyways, I was just going through stuff to move and so forth and realized I had started lots of projects but haven't gotten around to finishing them. Pathetic! I will have to probably start a list of to do's in terms of my craft stuff. I definitely need to get going on my own scrapbooks and have to get my grandparents heritage album done before my own memory is totally gone. So much to do and so little time. That's one thing I have realized in going from an at-home mom to a working mom, you don't have a lot of time for extracurricular activities like making cards and scrapbooks. So for all those people out there that gave me that excuse when I was trying to sell it to you, I totally get it now! Which is why I still love The Angel Company because they are striving to help us create even when we don't have a lot of time. Okay, my lunch break is about over so off I go to my working mom world for a while but I will be back...

Oranization Goal Finished!

I got all my stamps into CD cases or my notebook, all images stamped in an image notebook so anyone can flip thru and look and see what I have. I have the stamp sets labeled in the notebook and on the CD cases. Plus, I put them in categories and labeled the shelves with the category names: Shapes & Letters, Animals & Insects, Fall & Winter, Spring & Summer, Misc. and Words. My stack of Word stamps is considerably larger then the rest so I guess you can figure out what I like to use. I think sometime in the near future I will go in and color all the stamp images using different mediums so people can see what they look like colored and see different mediums used.
My next goal is to work on getting my Photo Wallet Card Designs on Etsy.com. I did a class with them last year which was my most popular class, even sold a few kits to people who couldn't come. Well, I improved the magnetic closure so it works better and is easier to add to the design. I already have 6 completed and another 15 kits done! So be on the look out for a slideshow of them coming very soon and I will let you know how my goal is progressing. Thanks to all posters for your comments and suggestions! Many minds working together can do wonders!
