Sick, prize, share and links…

Well, my ears and throat were bothering me a bit at the end of CHA.  After a night of pain last night, I went to the doc only to find out of a double ear infection.  Thank goodness for drugs that will knock it out soon. 🙂

A prize!  I need to do a prize.  I have a few to do, in fact.  Will be doing over the next few days – will pick random winners from comments on previous posts.  The winner today gets this great stamp set…

Somehow I ended up with two of these Close to My Heart stamps, so one will be going to Lynette C, who left me a comment a few days ago.  I will email you!

Thought I would share one of the projects I did for Tim's Idea-ology booth at CHA.  This card shows two of my fave Idea-ology goodies – the ornate frames and metal flowers.  There are SO many things you can do with these products.  It also uses one of my favorite Hero Arts Silhouette shapes, the Three Ferns, which matches the stamp HERE.  I just cut it from white cardstock and inked it like crazy with Distress Inks.  To give it shine, I sprayed it with Perfect Pearls mixed in water.  Oh, and I love how THESE greetings fit in the metal frames.

Some links..

  • I did an interview over at Magnolia Grace, click HERE to see it.  She is adorable, as is her etsy shop.
  • My dear Lucy is amazing.  Check out her video on sewing HERE.  Many have asked about how to sew on paper.  She shows you how!
  • Got lots of requests on Tami's card that I showed a few days ago.  You can find out more HERE.  Thanks, Tami!

  • Great blog candy (a signed Hero Arts catalog) and photos of the newest Hero stamps HERE.  Nancy is a doll!
  • All you Bachelor fans – you are going to love this.  Remember crazy Michelle?  HERE she is.  Well, she was a waitress at a hotel near CHA, and one of my friends saw her!  She was nice until they asked her if she was on the Bachelor, then she wasn't so friendly.  So funny.  I so wish I was there…
  • Speaking of the Bachelor… I don't like any of the girls.  They are all too mean.  Blech.  I thought I liked Ali, but she reminds me of a snotty girl I knew in collage.  I guess I like Tenley most.  I know they all don't like Vienna – I missed whatever that was about.  I also hear many people think Jake is a geek.  But I like him.  I like geeks. They make good husbands.  I know firsthand. 🙂
  • Remember the great big owl stamp from Hero Arts?  It is now digital!  It comes in clear and in many colors.  I love the green…

Well, I am off to get some rest.  Night.

  3. Nicole says:

    Get Well soon and I think that is too funny about Crazy Michelle! The card is great!

  4. Anna says:

    So I love the Get Well card mostly because off to the left hand side on the last three lines is the word “dead” three times. I love irony becuase I’m sure that it wasn’t intentional but still funny!

  5. Lynn Spencer says:

    get well soon!

  6. Julie Fiehler says:

    Oh no–being sick is the worst! Esp. after you were just at CHA–get better soon! Love the card–and everything you do:) I visit often–always inspired:)

  9. Sav O'Gwynn says:

    I just reread your post–so upset! I just ordered the big owl for 18 bucks! Now it is digital for 99 cents! AHHHHH! That is my luck. Still love it though.

    Looking forward to hear more cha stories 🙂

  11. karen q says:

    The card is simply gorgeous. I agree with you, the three ferns is one of my favorites. Sorry to hear you are under the weather. About 3 doses of antibiotics and you should be feeling considerably better.

  12. Elizabeth says:

  29. katherineee says:

    Hope you get well soon! and i bet you must have TONS of fun!
    btw, I totally love that cute green owl!!!!!!! sooooooooooooo cute!

  30. Elaine says:

    I’ve been sick too…and an ear infection was the culprit one time…the other it was the flu 🙁 BOOHOO…I hope you feel bettere girlie! 🙂

  31. DWD says:

    Hope you are feeling better soon!!! I think airplane’s cause a lot of illness, especially this time of year!!! Chicken soup…lots of chicken soup!!! LOL I can’t wait for the Tim Holtz line to hit the stores. I just love that man!!!

    As for the Bachelor, Jake was my pick on the Bachelorette last year. But I haven’t settled into a girl that I think fits him yet. One by one the girls have ganged up on Vienna. I think they think she is a spoiled brat and he doesn’t need someone like her. Tenley or Corrie could be front runners for me right now. I do feel sorry for Vienna though.

  32. Get well soon Jennifer! So sorry you had to end a great show with an illness. I can’t wait to see all of the new product! I love, love, love the card you made with the Ideology goodies. Those frames are gorgeous. I am watching The Bachelor and I still like Ali. I didn’t have the same college experience that you had ;). I was glad to see Michelle go….although I did like Ella, but chemistry is a must. Thanks for sharing and go and get some rest.

  33. Pat Castillo says:

    What a beautiful card! And thanks for all the links!

    Feel better soon…

  34. Shirley Lee says:

    Your card with those frames from Ideology are wonderful! I’ve actually made a necklace with the frame you used-Richele Christensen taught us “how” in one of her classes. So sorry to hear you had to fly home sick and with an ear infection! That plane ride home must have hurt! Even though you are probably exhausted after CHA, you took the time to send out a note on your blog in addition to all the sites you mentioned which I visited. Not watching The Bachelor this season. Got turned off after the first one. Take time for your body to heal! Welcome back!
