Tim Holtz Bird Cage Like Die SVG File

Good afternoon my blog buddies...

We have beautiful weather today in Pittsburgh Pa..  high of 63 and sunny...  totally unlike January weather.  Normally we are knee deep in snow.  I got luck today and got the day off.  I took a vacation day.  I got to go on tour with my realty office to view new listings and had a great luncheon with my office.  Then I came home a little while ago, started some laundry and now I am playing.  Dinner is in my crock pot...  fix it and forget it deal  LOL.  I hope to get some crafting done today.  I am working on a junk mini album for a swap on YPP ning group. 

Loretta from Your Paper Pantry ning group sent me some die cuts a couple months ago.  I don't have the Tim Holtz birdcage die and she sent some to me..  well...  I got smart.  I scanned the the birdcage, bird and wing.  Imported into my PSP and touched it up.  The birdcage didn't turn out as well as I hoped but when I imported into MTC I fixed it a little.  It is very close to the Tim Holtz version.  So, I am offering it to you today.  Have a good day everyone!

Sympathy Cards

Good Afternoon Blogland....  Just making a quick post today.  A week ago, two brothers who works with my BF Brian, they lost their mother.  So, I made each one a card.  Neither one likes much frilly so I kept the cards simple.

The first card I used my ink markers and colored a stamp image and then heat embossed.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.

The second card I used my small swiss dot border folder for the top and bottom.  I stamped a butterfly and colored it with color pencils.  Did a swirly design with baby blue liquid pearls and tied on a ribbon.

Santa Secret Swap From YPP

Hello everyone...   I didn't go into the real estate office for my floor time today..  double wami I guess you can say...  First, roads are not very good right now.  We got a nasty ice and snow storm early this morning.  There is probably 2 or 3 inches of ice under an inch of snow.  So, I stayed inside today, not that anyone would want to go see houses in this weather anyway.

The second thing is that I have a touch of something.  I started with a horrible cough on Thursday that continued into yesterday.  Thru the day I started feeling worse and worse.  I ran a fever all night.  The fever seem to have broken but I am sluggish.  I did still manage to clean up the house and getting some laundry done.  I want to do some crafting but just don't have the energy.

Anyhow....  while sitting here, wrapped up in my afghan my grandmother made me years ago,  I remembered about another orphan video that I shot last month and never got a round to uploading it...  I uploaded it today.
Hope you like it...  it is not the best...  still trying to master the taping thing.
