We had SO much fun creating the turkeys from the pattern I got at the local craft store.  All of them were beautiful.  We had two classes, Saturday at Rochelle's and Tuesday here at my house. Our Saturday group shot: Aren't they stunning! Here is Janet with her bird: Amy with her bird: Cheri's bird (Cheri declined to have her photo taken) Cheri was the first to add multi-colored "feathers".  It was a look we all liked. It was fun to get everyone's suggestions on how to make the turkey even better! Our Stampin' Up! Bigz Die "Designer Rosette" made cutting and scoring these a breeze! Tomorrow I'll share the Tuesday group. Bye for now, skm Oh wait, I agreed to put MY photo up here since I coerced the others to let me put theirs up. Here is me with my bird:  

Here are Tami's two projects from our October class.   Isn't it pretty!  The inside is just as nice.   Second project:   Again, the inside was nice too! That's all I have for today.  I'm busy putting final touches on the class that Rochelle and I are doing here tomorrow.  We are making the turkey centerpieces.  We had a smaller class at Rochelle's on Saturday and it was so fun seeing the beautiful turkeys the ladies made.  More on that later! Bye for now. skm  

Sorry it's been so long, but it is easy to NOT find the time to come here and update you all on what I'm doing, because what I'm doing is taking all my time!  We had a great October class here at the house.  I will show you the projects in a moment, but first I wanted to show you the little treats we gave to all our attendees. Aren't they cute!  I had purchased a bunch of these tiny little bags when Stampin' Up! had them on the clearance rack.  I wish now that I'd gotten more of them!  They were filled, of course, with yummy treats.  I used a black marker and left-over Easter bling, colored with an orange sharpee, on the tiny wooden clothes pins to add a little sparkle! Here is a fall card we made.  At the class we changed how we stamped the front image because we had trouble with the ink smearing on the glossy paper.  We used Stazon ink instead of the Elegant Eggplant ink like I did on this sample.  I got the layout idea from this card (not signed and

Here is what I woke up to today....I mean, seriously, already?   But, at least it's all sunny now.  Snow won't last long.     I've been working on our class projects for next week.  I can't show them to you yet, but one is Halloween and one is fall.  I'm using the shaving cream technique on the fall one.  Also using the faux metal/fossil technique as well.  I pre-made the shaving cream backgrounds to save having an unholy mess in my kitchen, but I will be demonstrating how I did it so everyone can try it themselves AT HOME if they want to.     Each person will get to try the faux metal technique though.    Hope everyone has a great day today.  I am going to a movie with my daughter.  Love spending time with her!   Ta Ta for now, skm    

The times and dates have been set now for the first "Gift and Gab" class.  Rochelle Hart and I are collaborating on this class as I mentioned in a previous post. Here are the dates and details for the first class.  We will be making the cute turkey centerpiece for the fall season.  We will need to have RSVP's as soon as possible so we can get the materials ordered, cut, etc.  Prepayment is required to hold your spot as space is limited in our homes.  Thanks!!!

Bye for now, skm

I've spent today completing the halloween offering for the October classes on the 12th and 13th.  Here is a photo of all the kits ready to package up.  Samples are made.  Now, time to figure out what else I'm going to do.  I'm thinking a fall/autumn/Thanksgiving card.  LOVE working with the fall colors and papers! Until next time..... skm
