Busy Busy Busy

Today two of my good friends came over to help me prep some of the little treats for the scrapbooking retreat coming up April 20-22!

Izzy, Jo and I cut and pieces and produced all day. Thank you so much ladies...you rock my world with your friendship! I am not very good at sewing so Jo headed home with some new fabric from the Summer Smooches Line to make some display items for me. I can't wait to see what she comes up with...that girl is soooo creative! Her head was brimming with ideas when she left here loaded up with cute things to play with.

Izzy is my rock when it comes to keepig me focused and thanks to her we got loads done today (she also kept Jo focused LOL)!..OH...you want to see some sneak peeks

OK..here you go..

and one more...in progress..

What could they possible be???

So...if you are coming to the retreat...I think you are going to have loads of fun...

if you want to come..I have 2 more spots available....e-mail me or leave a comment here and I can send you the details. Registration will close Sunday at midnight!!!

Exploding Gift Box

DATE: May 8th, 2012 **date change**

TIME: 6:30pm

COST: $25.00

You will recieve all the neccessary supplies prepped and ready to create except please bring your own adhesive. Included will also be a cute matching gift card.

I had such a good time putting this little creation together, I hope you will join me for the class. Can't make that date? I will always be happy to create a private class for you either at my studio or in your home. The only requirement is to have 5 of your friends get together and have a fun crafty afternoon! Let's pick a date!

This cute little exploding box can be used for a keepsake gift holder or to store your own little treasures in! Depending on the designer paper and cardstock you use it can look completely different, from vintage to fun, even elegant.

It's very cute on the outside but check out the inside!!

Class attendees will also learn to make the beautiful flower on the top.

(Class colours/style may vary from those used here)

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Hi There. I know it's been a while since I posted anything but I have been busy! I'll share some cards that we made recently at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack.

Everyone made 5 cards...4 of each design for a total of 20 cards and envelopes.

This was my least favourite...I took the idea for this one from our Idea Book and Catalogue. I though the unusual colour scheme would add interest to the class ... with a green snowflake I should have gotten my first clue LOL.

The next card used one of the few sets that have survived the cut since I have been a demo..the always beautiful Lovely as A Tree..truly a timeless set of stamps. I added the skaters in the foreground. Lovely As A Tree is great for creating scenes.

It's hard to see the real colour but it is Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla.

Next up was my Purple christmas card. I love Purple at Christmas...

My #2 favourite of the bunch was this one, adding a little glitter to the decorations makes it pop. I CASEd this one but have lost my source..I'll try to find it again and credit the inspiring stamper.

The fun part was that I used Designer Paper from our Halloween DSP! It is perfect for Christmas too!

and last but by no means least...my very favourite one...

Simple and Elegant. The inspiration for this one came from our demonstrator website on which we have access to thousands of cards and creations made by our SU demos world wide. Demo Leslie Ormand created one in this style and I loved it!!! She had silver embossed hers...I just embossed the stocking and punched the accents from our glittery specialty silver glitter paper. I am pretty sure this is my christmas card this year!

here is a close up...

Simple and elegant! Just my kind of card.

I will be offering this class again in November and maybe another Stamp-a-Stack with different cards. If you would like to take this class please e-mail me and I'll be sure to notify you when it is scheduled.

This is another class I am offering in November. A Boxed Set of cards and tags. Perfect for a hostess gift at the holidays.

The box contains 4 cards with envelopes, 4 each of three different tags all packaged up into an awesome box ready to gift to someone!

Date to be advised shortly. Again, if you are interested in this class emails me or leave a comment on this post and I'll contact you when I set my schedule for November.

Thanks for stopping by

Sue
