Back at last

Sorry about the absence, but last week was pretty hectic around here.  I was trying to get some things ready for our bazaar at the church, as well as get ready for a "private party" at Michelle's.  Now that they are done I feel like I can breathe again and am back to getting ready for our usual card class here next weekend.

I promised more photos of the gals with their turkeys.  Not everyone participated in the photo op (grin), but here are the ladies that did!

First off is my stampin' up! "mom", Connie.



 
Then Zoe,
 


Margret
 


Nancy:
 
 
And last, but FAR from least:
 
Dencey:
 


We had such fun making the birds.  I had five kits left over and made them up to sell at the bazaar.
I sold 3 of the 5 and the other two will go to my kids. 

I also made up some Winter Spice Mochaccino Mix in decorated jars (the snowflake decoration came off and was an ornament you could hang on the tree).  I've never done anything like that before for the bazaar and probably never will again!  I sold exactly NONE!  Oh well, they will make nice gifts for neighbors, etc.  Was disappointing as I spent way more time on them than I should have!!!!  Live and learn!

Bye for now

Welcome to my new blog

I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world.  I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs.  I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands.  I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.  I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and devote more time to my Stampin' Up! business without working late into the nights as I have been. Please hang with me while I try to learn all that is necessary to make this blog interesting and informative for you, my readers. I'll begin by posting a photo (still need a photo box) of the cards that were made at my last class here at the house.  The pink one was partially CASE'd from an Australian Blogger, Teneale Williams.  I really love her work.  The bird card was a CASE from a swap I received at convention in July.  The o

I love fall and I love leaves.  Fall colors are so warm and rich.  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out.  This is the first project I made with it.  MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash".  Hope you enjoy! Inside:  Verse was printed on the computer. Supplies use: PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Champagne Shimmer STAMPS - Wonderfall and Teeny Tiny Wishes INK: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, More Mustard The technique is called "Plaid".  Instructions for that are:  Ink your stamp (in this case the leaf) in the lightest color (in the case, pumpkin pie).  Then, using the next darkest color (in the case Cajun Craze) just use the very edge of your in pad, angling so just the narrow knife edge touc

Tami's February Cards

Here are Tami's great cards for our class this month.  She excels at masculine cards.....whereas I do NOT. This first one is so fun.  If you have a fisherman in your family this would be perfect for him! Tami's inspiration for this card can be found here . Stamp:  By the Tide and Netting Ink: Soft Suede Paper: Always Artichoke, Island Indigo, Soft Suede Accessories:  Chevron and Square Lattice Embossing Folders, I forget which size circle punch....2 1/4 I think.  Wooden shish-ka-bob skewers. Tami's other card is OH so beautiful.....and far from masculine!  I love it. Stamps:  Swallowtail, Affection Collection, En Francais Inks:  Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals Accessories: Goosebumps (non SU) and Champagne shimmer paint/alcohol mist, Flower, Vanilla Seam Binding, Rhinestones The inside is JUST as pretty....... Well, that's it for today!  Hope those of you in the storm areas are getting dug out!  We lucked out here and just barely got a little skiff
