Brunch....Yummy!!!

One of my Neighbors hosted a brunch this morning for the neighborhood ladies....we haven't done this in years.....and it was so nice catching up with everyone, and meeting the new gals. Charlene hosted...and the food was so yummy!!!

Here are the 2 projects that we did at last Thursday and Friday's Stampers 10 clubs.

This one was a Pop-Out Explosion Card...we did one years ago...and I just loved the colors and the Circle Cirus Set!!!!

This was one that we did showing different masking....did more cards to show other differnt ways to mask. Will post those tomorrow.

Successful Meeting!!!

Last night was the first meeting of our Etsy Entrepreneurs Group....and we had 14 Etsy Crafters show up...it was a very good meeting!!!! Lots of new ideas...now if I can find time to impliment them....that is the task!!! Met some really great people...Thanks Deb, for putting that together!!!

Thought I would show you my long awaited Stamper's 10 Gift. This was intended to be a Christmas Gift to all of my Stamper 10 gals....but I never got them done...so I was finally able to pass them out this past week. If you weren't there...yours will be in your bag. Each envelope had a Thank you card with the recipients initial and name....

And the gift was a Scissor Fob, with their initials on them...so when they take their scissors with them to classes and crops...they will know which ones are theirs!!!

Snowy Day and Good Company!!!

Yesterday was my Stamping Friends monthly get together....and it was a cold, dreary, snowy day...so it was so nice to be able to spend it in such wonderful company!!! Kim had some yummy pizza...and a scrumptious Hummingbird Cake....My teeth are still sceaming at the sugar high!!! We stamped the afternoon away...forgeting about what it was doing outside. I will post the swaps and projects later!!!

Thought you would enjoy the box that I made for the Red Hat Box Lunch. We all decorated boxes...and then drew numbers for what lunch we got....This was my box that I made...The Flowers are the Fleeced Rossettes we will be doing at the next Big Shot and Fabric class....I made them as 2 pins so the gal that got my box can take them off and use them as lapel pins!!!
and then I won the one I was coveting...So pretty!!!

Busy week

Hello all...didn't get much stampin' done for me this week....Had 2 Stamper's 10 Clubs...Love you ladies!!! And a workshop today....so that has kept me busy!!!! So I thought I'd post a picture of my new punch storage....Neat!!!! I am just so glad to get them out of the drawer, and out where I can see them!!! Just Cafe curtain rods!!!! I did have to move my computer so that I could gain access to a free wall!!!!

Quarterly Brayer Class

When I started playing with my Brayer and Sponges...to make landscapes...I knew I had to share these wonderful techniques with all of you.....I just wish I had more time to do more classes!!! So I decided on a Quarterly format....doing 2 projects each quarter. Our very first one is coming up in 2 weeks with the deadline being Monday, 3/15/10. We will be doing 2 simple projects to get us started, but alot of these classes will be building on past classes....you can come to one, or them all!!!! Cost is $5.00 per class...and if you sign up for 3, you get all 3 for $10.(I will issue coupons, in case there is a date you can't make) This quarters class is Monday, March 22, 6:30 at my house....so don't wait too long as seating is limited!!!
The first card is using the Brayer Resist Technique, and the second is sponging...sponging can add so much demesion to pictures!!!

Monday's March Madness Class

I posted these a while back ...but thought you'd like to see what we did at the March Maddness Class I held on Monday!!!

This is the CD Case we made. They make great gifts for those you need to send those pictures of the kids to!!! Kim was gong ot leave the ribbon off and then do a bunch to store in the Forget-Me-Not Keeper we sell. Great idea!!!

And here is the Gift Card Holder we made....I don't know about you , but I've been doing lots of gift cards lately!!! I love getting gift cards...and especial when they are packaged in a cute holder!!!! We also decided they could hold teabags, Giardeli chocolate, coupons....loads of things!!!

And here is a great card to put that Gift Card Holder into!!!

I plan on doing a Class this fall for just gift cards...I've got soo....many cute ideas!!! I think everyone is getting gift cards for Christmas this year!!!

Finally...Flower Class

Sorry this has taken me so long to get on here....But I finally have the pictures of the projects for the Big Shot and Fabric Class that I will be holding on Wednesday, May 19, at 6:30, my house. Cost is $5.00 and there will be a list of supplies that you will need to bring. Deadline is 5/12/2010. This is a great class for learning how to make some really cute embellishments for hats, bags, jackets, cards, gifts...I just did one for a Red Hat Box...will post later!!!

This is the Lollipop Flower...which does great with felt!!!

Here is the Rosette, using fleeced fabric and the Table Setting Die(yes it is still available!!!)

This one uses the Flower Folds Die...and it is the one I've been using on the Rag Quilt Bags!!!

These are a Hat and Gloves that I used the Lollipop Flower on...so cute!!!
