Noel Page

Happy Sunday!! I am guessing you will see a lot of Christmas ideas now that our Christmas Extravaganza is over. It was a lot of fun. We had 82 samples this year to inspire the attendees, treats and everyone won more then one door prize.  A lot of hard work goes into our events so I am thankful for the people who take time out of their busy schedules to attend. Thank you.

This page is done with squares from 2 papers and cardstock. I used the Tim Holtz rosette  and My Favorite Things alpha die and tag dies. And the circle sayings are from an Authentic sticker sheet. So I have plenty more for more cards or pages.

Shabby Chic

Last card from class. This card can also be made using scraps. A lot of fun dies were used to make this card: Spellbinders Pendants and Circles, Cherry Lynn Doily, Magnolia Dragonfly, MFT tickets. And the MS fern punch and hydrangia punch. Add a little Bakers Twine and a button and poof! You have a shabby chic card.

Seeing Circles

Goodmorning. Hope everyone can get to us today....they are sealcoating the north side of the lot. So you will actually go past our drive and come in the 2nd Garden Center drive and around to our front.

This card was just using lots of circles from the Spellbinders die set. You could even use scraps to do this. I coordinated all 3 cards for class but this one and the next card I post tomorrow could be done using all scraps from your stash.

Sending thoughts

 Just finished teaching Cards & Coffee class today so for a change....will get photos uploaded to the blog right away. I took sketches off line and used what things I had that were similiar.  For the white front we cut the fern out and then glued the checkered paper behind and then pop-dotted it to the base of the card.

The coordinating Heartfelt Creations stamp set was used on the inside with Peeled Paint Distress ink and a Hero Arts sympathy set for the 2 sayings.

Easter '04

 I was up to the store over the weekend organizing and creating. And I decided to get a personal page done since my youngest graduation will be here soon so I need to start working on some pages for that. These photos are from way back in '04 but hey! They matched a paper I wanted to work with.

 I fussy cut the flowers from a second sheet to make the 2 page layout and then punched the twigs from the leftovers. The tiny pearls were added throughout the layouts.

 The cute bunny is a diecut we sell at Picture This. I just added a note for journaling from the leftover piece as well and inked the edges of the bunny.

I looked forward to Easter every year. Chocolate, bunnies and muddy paw prints!! I would go out late at night or early in the morning and get some dirt and add some water to make mud to make the prints.

'Die'lightful Page

 This page was made using a lot of dies. I kept telling my scrapbooking customers how awesome dies are
to use on your pages. Most think they are just for card making. Nope. Nope. Nope. I love using them on both cards and pages and therefore getting more value for the investment as well.

 The rosettes are the Tim Holtz dies. These 2 come on the same die. The flowers are the Rose Creation die set by Spellbinders. I use that set a lot! Love it.

The detailed doily and flourish are Cheery Lynn dies and you have also seen me use these a lot too. A border die of Tim's was used going down the side as well. And then MS butterfly punches.  And the results are a soft, pretty page.

Cat Fun

It is suppose to be very windy today so I brought Lucy's cat tunnel in the house so it wouldn't blow away. Well I think all the cats thought it was a new toy so I left both ends open and they were chasing each other through it while I was getting ready for work. (birds eye view from my bedroom loft)

Happy Birthday to my hubby today.

Thoughts and prayers to all who lost a loved one on 911.
