Last Monday

Good Wednesday morning! How are you today? I have to go to my doctor's today; I cannot tell you how much I despise going. Not looking forward to it, but it's a necessary evil if I want to continue to get my medications. And MAYBE she'll help me with this awful cough!

ANYWAY. :D If you missed the free night last Monday, you missed a lot. You can go check out my review blog today for the second item I made; Monday's review was for the first. :D

We had a great time. We ate, and chatted, and checked out all the samples I brought back from Chattanooga, and looked at the cards I've made recently, and then we made this card - and I gave a handout for it, too!

The color's a TINY bit off - it's always hard with Very Vanilla and my monitor. :D The other colors are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke, and More Mustard.

It was a fun, relaxing evening together.

I hope you can come to the next class;you can always check out my online calendar to see my schedule. And I'd LOVE to do a girls' night out with your group, or have a private class with you, or even have a party - just pick a couple of nights where nothing's showing on that calendar, and let me know! :)

OK, I'm outta here. Have a WONDERFUL day, and be sure to make the time to STAMP something!

It's FRIDAY!!!

I bet you're all happy as can be. :D It's a cool FALL day here - I can't wait for the colors to become vibrant. :D The dogwood in our back yard is starting to get a few really red leaves on it; I love sitting at my desk and watching the colors change! :)

Today's share is from the last Quick Card Class; I really, really like this sympathy card! Both the inside, AND the outside. :D

Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Day of Gratitude, Blessings from Heaven

Card stock: River Rock, Early Espresso

Ink: Versamark, Early Espresso

Accessories: Big Shot, Stripes embossing folder, dimensionals, clear embossing powder, embossing buddy, heat tool, Snail

And here's the inside of the card....



There's something about the color combination that's quite soothing, don't you think? It was an easy quick card!

OK, I'm outta here. 3D Mania tomorrow! :)

Have a great day! Be sure to make the time to STAMP something!!!

Color Card Share

Well, I was HOPING I'd posted the cards today's share (and future shares!) were done with, but I haven't; I'm hoping that my hard drive will be back next week, and then I'll show you. Those of you who came to the studio during July, August, and the first part of this month will remember the IN COLOR section, where I had the petal-like cards showing you where this year's IN COLORs fit into the color picture. Well, here's what I did with one of them - I'll be showing them off and on until they're all up. And I'm saving my favorite for last! :D

Card stock: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Peach Parfait

Ink: Versamark, Chocolate Chip

Stamp set: Day of Gratitude

Accessories: corner rounder punch, scallop square punch, 1-3/8" square punch, heat tool, embossing buddy, Tangerine Tango embossing powder, dimensionals

Yeah, I know it's a little crooked. :D Straight doesn't happen often here.... :D But isn't it a fun and EASY card? And we all have lots of scraps, right? (Please don't tell me I'm the only one with scraps coming out of my ears!!!)

OK, I'm off. I am having ONE more night of auditions, in hopes of being able to cast this show! Have a wonderful day - and be sure to take the time to STAMP something!!!

Mix and match!

Good TUESDAY morning! TONS to do today, so a short post. Oh, BTW, I had yesterday's post all ready to go - but forgot to set it up. Sorry - but it's there now! :D

Card stock: Whisper White, Always Artichoke

Ink: Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Whisper White Craft

Stamp sets: Four Frames, Day of Gratitude

Accessories: Doily Triple Layer Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper, Circle Fire Brads, Frost White Shimmer Paint, alcohol, stampin' sponge

This is so far out of my comfort zone! But I think I like it. :D What do you think? I'd love to hear!

OK, off to work some more!:) Have a WONDERFUL day, and be sure to take the time to STAMP something!!! :)

WHAT a MONTH!

I'm here! Did you miss me?? :)
I'm sorry it's been so long - and thank you for sticking around to find me again. :D Between computer problems and leaving last week, I didn't have any way to post. But I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK! :D I'm going to post this one this morning, then another one this afternoon. They're both from the quick holiday card class.


In case you can't guess, this is a Thanksgiving card. :) It was a hit - it's really quite pretty IRL!

Card stock: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla

Ink: Early Espresso, Versamark, Cajun Craze

Stamp sets: Day of Gratitude, Grateful Greetings (inside)

Accessories: embossing buddy, gold embossing powder, sponge dauber, heat tool, dimensionals

This set has really grown on me; I really have had fun with the medallion, and although I've seen a lot of people coloring it different colors with Stampin' Write Markers before stamping, I like to hit and run - and I think it still looks pretty awesome. :D I still have to show you the Hostess Appreciation Luncheon invitation, and all the wonderful goodies from that day - but it's NOT going to be today. :D I have a LOT I haven't shown you - and a lot to still design! :D

OK, I'm outta here. Time for Bible study! Have a wonderful day, and I'll see you later! And for Pete's sake, take the time to STAMP something! :D
