There is a picture everyone will start painting.
You can paint it similar to the picture or do your own thing.
Here are some paintings my sister-in-law painted.

Lucky Eagles Casino

Staying In Olympia with my Sister-in-law for several days.
She’s driving us around today.
Went to brunch at the Lucky Eagle Casino.
Since my birthday was in June, I get a free brunch once for the month of June.
Brunch was all you can eat, YUMMY!

Here is the lucky salmon stone in front of the casino.

In the restroom, on the toilet are seat covers that automatically changes.
Very interesting.

Next stop was at Michaels to look for penny items.
Look on YouTube for penny items found at Michaels.
The items are not priced at a penny or zero cents but when scanned it will price at a penny or zero.
I’ve been watching many YouTube vids. Hope I find some.
First stop is Michaels in Chehalis.
I found many items that were on the vids but was not priced at a penny or less….hmmm
I bought them anyways because they were so cheap.
Go on the website and print out the coupons.

Next stop was at Michaels in Lacey.
Got one penny item.

This is a chipboard sticker for a penny.
Bought lots of blue tagged item but didn’t ring up a penny but was under a dollar.
Checking all over the store and way in the back.

From Wednesday, we’ll be staying in Gig Harbor.
There is a Michaels there so I’ll be checking there.
Driving from Olympia to Gig Harbor are 3 more Michaels along the way.
Heard Michaels will honor their competitors coupons.
Go on Hobby Lobby and print out the coupons.
Have a nice evening!

4th of July

Here is a Fourth of July card I made using Rosalie from CC Designs Rubber Stamps.

The stars I found on sale at Ben Franklin.

I wanted to use this sticker but I did not want it green.
I wanted something white for red, white and blue.

I flipped the sticker over and sprinkled glitter on the sticky part of the sticker.
Then I applied glue to the green part and placed it on the card.
Happy Crafting!

Entering this card in Kitty Bee Designs Red, White and Blue challenge.
Check it out.

Seattle

We’re finally here in Seattle. Flights were sold out leaving the islands.
Switched airlines and we’re here.

Coffee?

Another Hello Kitty pocket Coffee card.

Cupcake Birgitta

Sandy stamped up two CC Designs Rubber Stamps and gave them to a few of us.
Here is Cupcake Birgitta that she stamped up.

The sentiment, Happy Birthday was from Elizabeth Craft.

Used the Curly Q Border from CC Designs Cutter die.

I glued down the Curly Q Border but….was a little bit messy so I used the adhesive remover from Cute Stuff.   It acts like an eraser and removes the excess glue.

Found the buttons from Ben Franklin’s Red Tag sale. Got containers filled with green, blue, red & pink buttons.   Anyone need buttons?
Thanks for stopping by!!!

June Cricut Meeting

Wilma and Charlene did the projects for this month.

Starting with Wilma.
She made a Sympathy card and Thank You tag.

She used the Cricut cartridge Base Camp for the Black Frame and White Background.
The Walk in the Garden cartridge was used for the tulip.
Wilma gave us two options for the inside of the card
–use a Cheery Lynn die cut design-With Sympathy
–use a stamp sentiment

Sentiment for the tag was from Die-Versions.

Next is Charlene, she made an Owl card using Create-A-Critter cartridge.

She showed us how she used the Die-Version die cut sentiment Congratulations on her card.

Congratulations is too wide for the card. Charlene snipped Congrat and left the “tail”. She then cut off the s also leaving the “tail” before the s then you join Congrat and the s.

Nice projects Wilma and Charlene!!!
