Fun
Francesca, I totally agree, the 100-in-100 has been great inspiration. I'd love to commit to a card-a-day but I have to give it some thought and figure out if this is realistic for my schedule, especially going to all of the other blogs to check out their cards  Thinking ...thinking .... __________________ Lela -- Scrap Blog -- Come Scrap With Us ---- YTD 87 / 300 Pages 2023 -- 64 / 252 Cards 2023

Lynn, welcome, I have added you to the list! And Lela, there are no requirements! If you can do a card a day, great! If not, do what you can. I would like us to visit and comment on each other's blogs regularly, but you define what that means for you and your circumstances. And I will keep the group small, maybe 12-15, to keep it manageable. So please join us if you can!

Well, since the requirements are so elastic, I'm in too! I am really enjoying the 100 in 100 challenge and the encouragement of my fellow challenge participants has been a large part of that  |

I'm in! I'm so glad you've put this together. I was so sad to see the 100 in 100 challenge coming to an end. I'm only at 66, but still. Thanks, Francesca!

And we are thrilled to have you Lynn! I am so excited, I have a new toy coming tomorrow! I have had a love/hate relationship with my Cricuts/Provocraft and finally made the decision to sell my Expression and cartridges and purchase a cutter that was not cartridge dependent. After much research, I decided on the Silhouette Cameo with the Designer Edition software upgrade. I will easily cover the cost of my new Cameo with the sale of my Cricut stuff and the extra space in my studio is a bonus! So I will be stalking Mr. Brown tomorrow, lol!

A new toy? How fun! I have a new sewing machine coming later in the week and I can hardly wait to sew on a card for the first time.
Can I join in this blog challenge? I've been trying to faithfully post at least 5 times a week on my blog. I think I'm ready to go to daily posting. Now I'm off to check out the 100 in 100 challenge. |

Woohoo! New Toys are always fun presents to ones self! :eek: Lucky you! It's funny you say that about your Expression because I have the Cricut #1
(6x12" mats) and I'm looking to upgrade to one of the 12x12 models. Mine works just fine but there are SO many cool 3D items out there I'd like to try.

I wish I could sew as I love the look on cards but ... I can barely add a button, LOL! That sounds like a fun new toy as well
Can't wait to see what you come up with from your Silhouette Cameo ... I will get the Blog Roll added to my Blog tomorrow... __________________ Lela -- Scrap Blog -- Come Scrap With Us ---- YTD 87 / 300 Pages 2023 -- 64 / 252 Cards 2023

Hi Heather and welcome to the group, I will add you to the list and to my blog roll! I sewed and smocked quite a bit when my daughter was younger, but I have never sewn by machine on a card, I will have to give it a try!
One hint for you, if you make your blog address a link, it is much easier for people to get to your blog!

Thank you. Hopefully I added it correctly this time. ;)
My sewing machine just got here! I'm not an expert at sewing, but I do enjoy it... sometimes... other times there is a lot of ripping and tearing and knashing of teeth. :rolleyes: |

Lela I have agreed to sell my barely used Cricut Expression to someone for super cheap. She's supposed to be paying me this week but if it falls through I'll let you know. Just want it out of the way and a bit of stamping spare change!
I was thinking about trying a bit of the old sewing on cards. I can't sew straight on fabric, maybe I'll have better luck with paper!
I won a prize last week on Apron Strings' blog... she has some fab prizes (a full collection from My Mind's Eye this week) and last week there were only 3 people entered! Check it out - I'd love to support Lori by pointing people in her direction:
Apron Strings
PS I won with a card last week so it's by no means just for scrapbook layouts. |

Awesome Lynn! Her kit club is fabulous too. I was a member prior to joining SU and am thinking about joining up again once my demoship lapses/I get kicked out for using too much non-SU!

That's the beauty of sewing on cards, the wavy lines look good too! Just do them curvy on purpose. |

Hi Brandie and welcome to Splitcoaststampers! Please do join us, I look forward to getting to know you! I will get you added to the list here and on my blog. Please bear with me for the next couple of weeks, things have gotten a little crazy here with the sale of a house and some medical issues, so I have not had much free time. But I will catch up with everyone as soon as I can!

When I click on the thread for Nathalia in the first post, it went straight to one of her posts from a few days ago. I just assumed she hadn't been posting. Perhaps you could change the link to go to her homepage so we don't miss any of her postings. I think this it is: Joyful Living Thank you! |

Hope things are going well with your move and health issues, Francesca! Thinking of you!
I'm off on a road trip to stamp with old friends today. When I get back home tonight, I will post something I have made there.
Have a wonderful Saturday, ladies!

Thanks Heather for catching that, I wouldn't want anyone to miss Nat's beautiful creations! And thank you Lynn for the well wishes, much appreciated! Fortunately, I am not moving! We are selling the home we moved from 3 years ago. My dad and my son lived there after we moved, but it has been under heavy renovation for the past year or so. Today we are emptying the shed and sorting through the last of my craft stuff that has not made it to this house. I am not looking forward to it, lol!
I hope you have a safe trip Lynn and everyone has a fun and productive weekend!

A laptop is a CRAFT ESSENTIAL. Jacob fell off the sofa onto mine earlier this year and it was a struggle!

YES! I learned that. I thought I would get more crafting done while I didn't have a laptop but it didn't work that way ... I was missing all the blogs I like to check out & of course, SCS. :rolleyes: I will be updating my blog and adding our blog roll ... it's all good, my laptop arrived today __________________ Lela -- Scrap Blog -- Come Scrap With Us ---- YTD 87 / 300 Pages 2023 -- 64 / 252 Cards 2023

Lela, congrats on the new laptop, happy to have you back in the loop! Lynn, I hope you had a fun weekend! Things are still crazy here, the first deal on our house fell through, but we have another in the works. I am a little bummed about the first deal, but at least it gives us a little more time to finish things up over there as the shed cleaning never happened this weekend. By the time we finished our Saturday errands, it was too late in the day to get started and it poured all day Sunday! I had a fun outing Sunday, went to see Cirque de Soleil with my daughter, SIL and niece. We really enjoyed the show and it was fun having a girls night out. Now that the girls are older, 20 and 26, we rarely get to do things like this, so it was quite a treat!
My Silhouette Cameo arrived on Tuesday, but it never made it out of the box until late Thursday afternoon. I have been having lots of fun playing with it and so far, I am a happy customer! I will be cutting vinyl with it for the first time later on today, hoping that goes well also. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy Wednesday, I am getting all my test results back at noon today, hoping and praying for good news!

Awesome about Cirque Du Soleil. I am jealous! And about the Cameo too, can't wait to hear about it.

Do you have room for one more? I try to get into my stamp room everyday, but some days all I do is reorganize. Some days I make several cards in one sitting. I made several cards today that will eventually end up on my blog - one tomorrow for sure.

Thanks Bexx! I got good news today, my stress test was perfect, so no need for a cath. I have another round of bloodwork tomorrow morning, but at this point we are assuming my symptoms are hormone related.
Hello Paige, you are welcome to join us! I will add you to the list in the first post and to my blog roll, we are happy to have you!

Thanks for letting me join your group. I plan to get to everyone's blogs today, but first I need to take some photos of cards I made yesterday and get one of them up on my blog today.
Have a great stamping day everyone!

Do you have room for another? I know there will be times when I cannot add a card a day - especially when we are on the road. I also know that right now visiting blogs will be difficult, as my internet connection is terrible. That being said, it improved yesterday! Because of our location, using our Verizon connection is about the only option, and reception is not good. That is a trade off for having our RV in a favorite location in Colorado!
By the way, I assume the 100in100 qualification of no purchases is not a requirement here...
I think this will take you to my blog:
