Sharing Can Be Good... Or Bad...

Hubby and I share lots of stuff- books, tools, blankets, etc. One thing I could have lived without him sharing with me is his cold! He has been sick the last 3 days. I was really starting to hope I would escape it, but no such luck! Fortunately for me, I can stay home and drink tea and do next to nothing when I am sick. Unlike Hubby, who drags himself off to work every day, regardless of how he feels!

One thing I did today, after I had done the bare minimum work around the house, was sit and make some cards! Stampin'Up! has a new stamp set called "Quilt Quips". Well, how was I supposed to resist that? With all the swaps I am participating in now in Flickr-land and blogland, I wanted some cute cards to send along with the mini quilts and blocks and stuff that I am swapping with others.

This one was inspired by a four-patch quilt block exchange I am participating in through one of my Flickr groups!

And this one was inspired by the fact that I like blue and green together!

That's about the extent of my accomplishments today. I hope I will feel better tomorrow- it's laundry day and I really can't skive off on that!

Fun With Paper!

Among my many and varied interests is cardmaking! I am a Stampin'Up! demonstrator (what they call a hobby demonstrator, I don't do parties and such), and I have a lot of fun playing with all the stuff to see what I can come up with.

Today my friend Julie came over (also a Stampin'Up! demonstrator, but unlike me, she does do parties and stuff), and we made stuff! She was making some cards, and I played with lots of different stuff to come up with this!

A cook book! It was so much fun to make. Here's what the inside looks like:

It has tabs for the various categories. The whole book was made with a stamp set called "From The Kitchen Of:".

We are going to try to get together more often to do this sort of thing. It's a lot more fun to make things with other people!
