As Promised!

I know, I know.. you can't believe it! But yes, two days in a row!

This is the card that I did with my club members on Tuesday. It was the inspiration for

the birthday card that I posted yesterday. It really is a fun card to make and lends its self to

so many different occasions! And EASY! This is a very simple card to make but the results are

fabulous!

Until next time....

Birthday card

Here I sit on this very dreary friday trying to post to my blog for the first time in a month!

I'm having a little trouble concentrating and keeping my eyes open. No, it is not because I am bored with what I am doing or because I didn't sleep well last night. It is because the little boy I babysit is sleeping in the bed right behind me and is snoring up a storm and right beside me on the floor is my dog snoring too! How am I supposed to get any work done with all this sleep noise? HAHA!

In a few minutes, I will be going to have lunch with a very dear friend of mine to celebrate her birthday. I thought that I would share the birthday card I made for her.

I really love this card and made a Christmas card in the same style which I will be sharing with you tomorrow.. yes, that's right, I said tomorrow... two posts in two days... hang on to your hats folks! lol

This is what I think is called a pocket card. The tab on the side is the inner card and you will see that in the second picture. I had a lot of fun making this card.. I have been wanting to make a card with this set forever and just have not been able to come up with a design I liked. But this turned out super sweet (no pun intended.. lol). The funny thing is... my friend is making cupcakes for her in laws anniversary party next month... like 150 of them... so I thought this would be most appropriate for her! Enjoy the card.. I sure hope my friend does.

See you tomorrow and until then,

Double Time Stamping

I wanted to share some very exciting news with you! I was asked to be a guest speaker at our local new comers group. I was able to share what I love with about 50 women! And it seems that the women really enjoyed my demonstration. It was a bit difficult for me to go that far out of my comfort zone and stand in front of so many people but many of the ladies came up to me afterwards and said how well I had done and how much they enjoyed my presentation. Several even gave me their names and phone numbers to call them! How exciting is that for someone who is trying to build a business! So this is what I shared with the ladies. It is a double time stamped portfolio and six cards/envelopes to go in it. So fast and easy and fun. I hope to do a video on this soon so be watching for that! Until then, enjoy the pictures.

Until next time,

You Rock!

Each month, my club girls make a swap card. This is my way of getting them to use their goodies that they buy each month! For the next club, the theme is Halloween! Believe it or not, I got an early jump on my card and this is what I came up with. I got to use lots of extra tools on this one. I used the white gel pen to out line the card and add a little extra umph.. I also used the circle scissors plus to cut out the pumpkin pie circle which I attached to the card and then cut the remaining piece off. I also got to use some of my two way glue pen and dazzling diamonds to give him a little extra bling on his tooth!

My favorite time of the year is coming up! October starts all the fun for me. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving and of course... who doesn't love Christmas! I love the crispness in the air and the smell of leaves that have fallen on the ground. It seems that when fall comes around, I light my scented candles more and feel more like baking. I really love something about every season but if I had to pick a favorite.. it would definitely be Autumn! So, enjoy this card and until next time....

WOW!!!

Well, it has been quite a while since my last post. I must apologize!

I have missed posting every day and hope to be back to that soon. But for now.. I have a couple of projects that I will be sharing with you over the next few days!

So without any further delay... lets get to todays sample!

Black and White Rose. For stamp club this past month, our theme was Black and White. This is the card that I came up with using that color scheme. I used the set Fifth Avenue Floral which has become one of my favorite sets. It is so versitile and just plain pretty!

Enjoy and I will see you again tomorrow with a new card!

Christmas In July

A dear friend of mine asked me to do a Christmas in July workshop for her. She asked me to use my Big Shot (item # 113439)and show the ladies some things that you could do with it. So I came up with this little bag topper. I was able to showcase the level 2 hostess set "Christmas Punch", The "Top note" Die (item # 113463) and two punches, The Scallop Oval (item # 114889) and The Wide oval (item # 112082). To finish the bag up, I tied some 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon (item # 109052) around the top and sponged the edges with real red ink. The swirls on the bag are from the set "Baroque Motifs" (item # 113490).

Please feel free to visit my business website if you would like to have your own workshop or if you would like to purchase any of the products that I mentioned here.

Have a wonderful day and until next time,

Club project for July 7th

Recently two of my friends have sent me flower pot cards in the mail. This got me thinking! Maybe I should try one of these flower pot cards myself! So, here is the end product of my experimenting. This is the card that my girls at club will be making tonight. I had to wait to post this because I like for the projects to be somewhat of a surprise for the group. There is lots of cutting

to make one of these cards but they really do turn out nicely. I had more fun making this card than I thought I would!

This is what the card looks like when you pull the inside of the card out! How cute is this!

Email me or leave a comment if you have any questions about the card!

Until next time....
