HE'S HERE!!!

As I mentioned in my last post, we were expecting a new grandson.  Well, he arrived a tiny bit early.  February 27th via C-section due to being in a breech position.  Isn't he BEAUTIFUL (handsome)!?!
This is him yesterday on his 1 week birthday.

Carter Anthony

He and mom are doing great!  It's hard for me to stay away!  I must get some things done around here today, though. Having the ladies over tomorrow for our SOS day (stamp out stress).  Everyone just brings their own project over to work on.  It costs just $5.00 and they can use any of my stamps, dies, etc. (helps to cover the wear and tear on my things).  We had a blast at the last one.  No one has to cook (we order out) and it's just relaxing for all!  Join us if you can.  They are planned for every second Friday and every third Monday at my home.  Contact me for location/directions.

Now, for a card.............

This was one of the cards we did at our class here last weekend.

This was cased from a card by Amanda Mertz here


Here is the inside

The other card I did was not SU.  It was a St. Patty's day card.....
The shamrocks were cut with my new Eclips machine.  Loving that thing!!!
Inside
Tami had beautiful cards again this month.

This one used the awesome Swallowtail stamp....that I WASN'T going to get and now I must!

Her other card had a cool technique.  Color was all sponged on and then alcohol was spritzed on for a very pretty effect!

Well, that is it for today!  I have to run out and pick up some designer paper a friend has for me to make some baby announcements with! 

Ta ta 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....

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.

Tami's February Cards

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.
