Birthday Card Workshop

I am planning my first card workshop on Sunday January 9, 2011 from 4pm-6pm.  We will be doing 3 cards for $8.  One boy, one girl and one generic birthday.  Space is limited.  Contact me to sign up.  I will have all the pieces cut and ready for you to stamp.  I'll be posting the pictures of the cards that we will be doing in the next day or two.

The Bear

I wanted to show you guys a quick picture of the actual bear we had in the campground that we go to.  He was just a little cub, but he made life interesting for the campground owners!!

Under the Stars

Here is the second card that I worked on today.  I just love this bear!  He makes me think about the camping that my family does every summer in New Hampshire.  This year we actually had a couple of bears living in the campground that we go to!!  I free hand cut around the word Grrreat, then matted it on Tangerine Tango and free hand cut that also.

Cardstock- Night of Navy, Whisper White, Tang. Tango and Tempting Turquoise

Punches- Large and Small Star

Silver brads

For All You Do

Hi All.  Well the holidays are over.  So much prep work and it goes by so fast!  We had a great time though, except for colds all around.  I am starting my New Years resolution early by posting 2 new cards.  I am not going to neglect my blog in 2011!!  I pulled out the stamp set For All You Do for this card.  The Real Red called out for an I Love You saying.  It is part of a stamp from the set Picture This.

Cardstock- Real Red, RR DSP, Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White.
Ribbon- Two strands of 1/8 taffeta in Real Red

I had lots of fun at my open house.  Hope you all did too!  I want to share a few pictures with you.  The first one is of my Up-Line Michelle Surette and me.  She's one of my very best friends and she has such a passion for creating beautiful things.  I'm lucky to have her to learn from.  The last picture shows my friend Kelly with her sewing "stuff".  She makes absolutely beautiful items.  Pot holders, PJ bottoms, bags, aprons and much more.  Thanks to everyone else who came and supported me.  Hope to see you all in workshops!

Bridal Shower Favor

A friend of mine is the maid of honor in a wedding and she asked for a little help with the favors.  The brides mother had bought these measuring spoons about 4 years ago and then had bought the ribbon to tie around them.  They wanted to put the little poem onto a heart.  I wrote the poem on the computer, printed it out onto SU Very Vanilla paper and cut them out using the big shot.  I popped a glue dot on the back and attached.  Very simple, but very elegant.  Sorry the picture is a little blurry.  I'm not a very good photographer!

Owl Friend card

My very first post.  Very exciting!  I made this card a little while ago.  I just love the owl punch.  There is so much you can do with him.
