Class - Shake it Up!

Join me Tuesday, August 26 (11:00 - 2:00) and learn how to create super cute Shaker Cards.  I'll share with you an easy-peasy way and the “old fashioned” way.  You will complete three cards sure to make anyone smile.  Just call The Making Place at 760-736-8605 to reserve your seat.

The Theme is Water

I mentioned in a post a while back that I'm in a Stamp Club.  I always forget to take pictures of the cards I create for our monthly swap . . . but no more!  I do by solemnly promise to take pictures and post them here.

So . . . here's my card for this month
.

The theme is water, so I thought a bath tub would do just fine. . . and of course, a bathtub needs a bath rug . . .and of course a towel rack . . . and of course, an appropriate sentiment.  (All stamps by Rosie's Roadshow)

Hello, Humphrey

I'm not one who can sit and just watch TV . . . so, I will often stamp up a few images and color them while I watch something.  Which usually means I don't watch it at all . . . I just listen and lift my head up if something pulls my attention away from coloring.

So, I end up with a stack of images colored up and ready to be added to a card.  My latest addiction passion is Humphrey by Crafter's Companion. . .

Here are few cards I made using him.

Isn't he the cutest??

Demo - Envelope Punch Board & Gamsol

That's right!  I'll be doing demonstrations using the Envelope Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers from 11:00 - 1:00 on Sunday, July 27th at The Making Place.

Oh . .. but it's a box, you say?  YES!  But it's a box made from envelopes!  I love a multi-purpose tool . . and this thing truly is multi-purpose . . .

And then, from 1:00 - 3:00 in that same day, I'll show you how to use Gamsol with colored pencils to get a nice water colored look.

I'll be using the Autumn Door stamp from Pink Ink Stamps . . . love the delicate lines of this image . . .it seems that it was made just to be used with Gamsol!

Had to show you . . . of course I made a custom envelope!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by!

"Mint" to Be

Well . . . she's all married now . . .

That's me, our Son-in-Law, Daughter and my husband.  It was such a beautiful day.

I've been busy for the past nine months or so preparing for her big day. And that's why my poor little blog has been so neglected.

It's taken me a bit to get back on track, but I am getting there.

Here's one of the favors I made for her special day.

This one was a joint effort between me and my sister-in-law.  She filled all the honey jars (100 of them . . .bless her heart!) and put the toppers on.  I just ran the labels and slapped them on.

And now that the wedding is over, I'm back to focusing on creating just for the sake of creating and of course, coming up with classes.

Check back soon to see a few things I've been working on and upcoming classes.
