Card Class

I am super excited to be offering a card class again. I have done them in the past and had to take some time off from doing so. It was so convenient to have cards for many occasions to grab at a moment's notice. For this first class I am recreating two cards straight out of the Idea Book & Catalog. Every time I thumb through the IB&C these two cards (found on page 98) catch my eye. So without further adieu...

Class will be held on Monday, October 10th at 5:30pm.

Cost: $10

We will be making three of each design.

Don't forget your scissors, adhesive, and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Please RSVP to reserve your card kit!

Build-A-Bear Building Blocks

I am super excited to be the proud owner of the Build-A-Bear DieCut! I am having so much fun with this new diecut and in preparation for my middle daughter RoseMarie's upcoming birthday party at Build-A-Bear I have created this layout.

Hopefully from the angle you can see the dimension of the layout.

This layout will be for our next Monday Night Me Time scrapbooking class.
Class will be held on Monday, October 10th at 6pm.
Cost for the kit is $20. If you are a grandfathered in member you know what your discount is.
There will be the option of boy or girl bears and a few color options as well. When you RSVP please let me know if you want both girl / both boy / or one of each gender for the bears as well as if you want any pink on the layout or not.

Changing Things Up

So today instead of sharing more regional projects I decided to show you the swaps I made for regionals.

I LOVE my first one with the apple. It was so fun to make and I think it would be great to use for teacher appreciation week later in the school year. The second card I struggled with. I did my backgrounds and my base and then the original idea I had for the designed element was not cute as I had envisioned it. (Supposed to be a coffee cup.) Anyhow, I stared at this card for days trying to come up with plan two and the heart is the result. I still wish it had more flare. Needless to say I swapped all of the apple cards and wound up with only some heart cards left at the end of the day!

More Fun Project Ideas!!!

So, I have more fabulous projects from Regionals to show you. These two are the make-n-take projects we all got to complete during the day.

Great New Friends

I have another batch of projects to show you from Regionals, but before I do I wanted to show you pictures of some fabulous people I met. I made a new friend from Arizona by the name of Lori. Here is a picture of her and I along with another new friend that we met by the name of Karen. You will also notice that there is a fourth person in our photo. It is none other than.... Shelli Garnder (the founder and visionary of Stampin' Up).

Next Monday Night Me Time is coming up!
Monday, September 19th at 6:00pm
Check out the layout below...

This layout will be featuring the technique of gathering your ribbon as well as accenting your paper with Crystal Effects and buttons. I have several color options for this layout to meet your needs. The layout is intended for a baby or school themed layout but really can be adapted to any theme you wish by simply changing the title.

The first is a pink background (like the sample layout) with a multicolored circle pattern on the opposite side.

The second option is a yellow pinstriped background with a lined paper pattern on the opposite side.

The third option is a white with blue and green circle background with a green with white polka dot pattern on the opposite side.

The fourth and final option is a blue circle background with a multi-colored striped pattern on the opposite side.

Kit colors are on a first reserved basis. Please let me know which kit you would like when reserving your space in class. I have twelve kits available. As always if you live out of state and would like a kit you can purchase one and have it shipped to you. The class/kit fee is $20 (plus shipping if applicable).

I look forward to seeing you! Please let me know if you have any questions...
