Yes, I'm a slacker. It's been awhile since I've posted, but in real life I've been somewhat productive. While away from the blog, I've been helping fellow YaYa Kimberly with some home remodel projects. So far, I've taken down old 3X3 blue tiles circa 1970 out of a bathroom, and yesterday did lots of priming walls. What a difference a fresh coat of paint makes! I will share one "adventure" that happened at her house last weekend. I went to the restroom only to find myself "trapped" inside when I tried to leave. The door knob was messed up (partially hanging from the door). I tried for a couple of minutes to jiggle the knob, and the lock. I even tried to unscrew the screws with my fingers (like I said, they were sticking out already). The whole time muttering to myself, "Seriously? Seriously?". Typical me to get stuck in a room... Finally my knocks on the door were answered. Eventually Kimberly and Floyd (the floor guy working in the kitchen) heard my cries for help. After some fruitless tries of jiggling the door knob, and even a couple of TV cop tries of breaking down the door (them, not me), they were able to squeeze a screwdriver under the door for me to use. Thank goodness for the 70's when doors had to have the bottoms trimmed to accommodate shag carpet! With a little coaching from Floyd, I got the screwdriver between the door jam and the door and was able to spring myself free. Too funny. My dear friend Kimberly was there with camera in hand to document the event, and no, you won't be seeing those pictures here.
Anyway, here are some cards that I made last weekend. They're very simple, I just needed to try out some of my new PTI order stuff.
First is the PTI card made with the Remember set and all that beautiful poppy red. We did a little comparison, and the PTI pure poppy is VERY close to SU real red. I think the linen vellum gave a bit of a 3D effect to the flowers.

This card is pretty boring, but I just had to use this scrap of SU summer picnic DP. Love it!

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, and happy crafting!

I can't believe you titled this post "Slacker" and then followed up with stuff about demo'ing Kimberly's bathroom and priming her walls before you made some gorgeous greeting cards...
Lisa, honey, I wish you could find something to do with your slacker self! :)
*thinking you should carry a screwdriver in your pocket at all times*
Beautiful cards! Love your bright colour choices!
I vote for seeing some pictures of you in the bathroom...hahha...Just kidding!
umm... if you're a slacker, what does that make me????? You're making me feel LAZY.
Pretty cards!! I love the poppy red!
