There's a kind of "holiday lull" over the summer. The next holiday being Halloween (unless you make Labor Day cards!) What are you working on these days?

i have been invited to a crop on the 20th.
these gals are scrappers and i make cards... i have WAY too much stuff to pack and go so i have been designing a card and then as i make it i put all the stuff i need to make 3, 4 or maybe 6 more of the same design into a ziplock bag for assembly that day. so far i have about 8 or 9 card designs and baggies to go.
Well...just bought 5 new Halloween stamps today...so.....guess I'd better put them to use as soon as I get a chance..it would probably help if I got off the computer!!!
I am having a baby in December. My first baby shower is in the first week of August so I am gearing up for making thank you cards. I already have my pregnant Bella stamp that I am going to use - just trying to figure out the design.
After that it's baby announcments. No Christmas cards this year!
Making cards for the troops. Several friends are coming over Wednesday night to make all sorts of cards for our men and women in Iraq to use--birthday cards, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, thinking of you, get well, etc.
I'm also doing the Christmas card challenge here and need to do my July cards--and post my June cards, which I made but haven't photographed yet.

My sister and I are giving a baby shower in a couple of months, so I'm working on game gifts, invite, thank you cards, etc. Also doing extra birthday, anniversay, etc. cards. I'm waiting patiently for my first order from the new catty to get here. Linda
I'm actually not really working on anything right at the moment but I need to work on my altered items for the exchange on the wish rak forum. Need to get busy on these as they have to be received by Aug. 1.
I'm working on cards for a Big Blooms swap I joined. I think I will actually have them done ahead of time instead of procrastinating and rushing them to the hostess at the last minute. Just a few more to go.....
I am working on Calendars as gifts for the grandparents this year. I am scrapping the tops and filling in the bottoms as reminders when everyone's bdays are. This is a bit more work than I had anticipated. I am leaving blank spot for them to put pictures in that we send them. I hope they like them!

I marked down "other" as I'm working on Coaster Albums for my Junior Girl Scouts from our "Last Hoorah!" on Catalina Island 2 weeks ago. I downloaded a "Piece-a-Cake" album from www.theshabbyshoppe.com because EmilyMomto3Boys had it on her website and I just LOVED this idea! I downloaded the "Splash" album and another one, but used the "Splash" one for this project. So far.....I've designed all the "pages" and had them printed as 4x4 photos. And today I just got the coasters from StarLitStudio on eBay! So next...I'll be ModPodging all the pics to the coasters. I'm really excited and will take pics when I'm all done!
Aside from the daily challenges I complete for my blog (which I always try to make into birthday cards to keep my stock levels up ) I'm currently working on a CJ I have to send soon, and need to start three sets of ATC's , I've signed up to swaps on three different forums but they all have the same deadline ;)
I'm making a friendship card for -- a friend! Strawberries and scallops.
Oh, I can't wait to see that card! You know I will love it. Hope you put it on your blog. I made another strawberry and scallop today. I just can't stop!!
I've been scrapping the last week. I haven't made a page in a long long time, and I'm beginning to forget the whole "who, what, when, where, and why" of the photos!
I'm working on a wedding card as I have to attend the wedding this Saturday. At this point I'm looking throught the gallery and magazines to get ideas. I don't have any wedding stamps so I just bought silver stickers with wedding designs. I now have to think about what I want the card to look like. I've just finished inviations and bookmarks. I need to make birthday cards as I have about 5 birthdays in September.
I'm getting some supplies together for a stampin' session with a friend. She needs "thinking of you" cards for her church group, so that will be our card club project for tomorrow. Also working on birthday cards, since my Mom mentioned that she'd like to have a few on hand to send out. So of course, I HAD to buy a couple of new bday sentiment stamps, ya know??! ;)
Wow - cool stuff that everyone is busy playing with. I am getting ready to make ATC's for a swap I'm in -- the letter M. And then I have some kid-themed cards to make for another swap.
One of the Sunday School classes from my church is having a Christmas in July event in the home of one of its members. They have invited me to set up a table with cards and notecard sets. So, I've been busy making all occasion cards, some Christmas cards, some general note cards. It's coming up this Saturday.

I'm working on birthday and anniversary cards to send to family and friends. I'm trying to get them all done for the next 6 months or so....just to keep on top of things (the last 4 months I've been making and mailing them last minute). I make extra of all cards to take into work and sell to coworkers too.

aside from all the ATC swaps I'm in (I'm addicted to these now), I'm making baby thank you cards for my sister, birthday thank yous for my daughter (her birthday is Monday), a couple of wedding cards and a few birthday cards for the summer birthdays.
I joined up for two more swaps. Then I have to start christmas cards. I bought all new stamps and paper for last christmas and never made any cards do to our move this past january.

I make bookmarks for the ladies at church. If they don't come to church, for whatever reason, I make postcards to wish them a happy birthday. I'm working on a stash for the next couple of months.
What are you working on now?
