Following are a couple projects I've done lately. Regretfully I haven't had much spare time, with tax season and everything else going on. My youngest granddaughter was in the hospital for 6 days, then I got the flu bug. so that pretty much shot 2 weeks. I'm feeling better but work is wearing me out.
I'm trying to figure out a date for the first technique class, I had wanted to have it in march, but that is not going to work, so I'm shooting for the first part of April.
Being this is the last month for Sale-A Bration if you want to place a order to get any of the free items with a $50 order, I will put 1 last order in on March 30th so I will need orders and payment no later than noon on the 30th. If you are thinking you want to take the brayer class you might want to order a brayer, We found that the brayer is actually cheaper thru the catolog than using a coupon at Micheals. If you want to see one of the projects we will do check out the card I did for my Father in law (previous post).
Bear with me as we get thru this last month of tax season!!
Thank you.

Hi there everyone! for those that check in here to see what's going on, sorry i haven't been keeping up! Work is crazy right now, so trying to keep up with everything doesn't always work! :)

Good Saturday morning!

Boy I hate that work keeps interupting my fun! But this morning I have been able to go play in my craft room and finish up a few projects and try a new (to me) technique that I've been wanting to do. As do many of you, I like to search the web for ideas to try, I found this wonderful artist a while back and have wanted to try her techniques for ever. Her name is Michele Zindorf (hope I spelled that right!) She is a stamper, but in my eyes what she does is art work. I finally got to do one of her techniques this morning, so here it is and I hope you like it!

I saw it, I loved it, I made it!

I saw this design on one of my favorite web sites, the card was a Valentine, but I need a sympathy card so I changed it. I really love how it turned out and how simple it was. Hope you enjoy it.

I would like to thank all my club members for the great time we had this month, (and we really missed those that were unable to join us!), I really look forward to crafting with you guys each month! Thank you!!

Sorry it takes me awhile to update but following are some of the projects that I've done recently. I have spent today playing and enjoying peace and quite with the house to my self. I was surrounded by fog, feeling very remote on my little mountain. For some reason that made me think about how blessed I am. My life is so full of blessings, I have a great family and some very wonderful friends. Since I started Stampin' Up I have met some great people and made some lasting friendships for which I'm very thankful. I want to thank everyone for being a part of my world!
Here are some projects that I wanted to share with you, enjoy!

Here is a layout that I did of my grandsons trip to the pumpkin patch. They had a barrel made into a horse and he had lots of fun riding it.

I just put pictures on this layout .

Ok this was this weeks scrap club layout that my club did.

Sorry can't figure out how to flip this one! Some times I really feel stupid when it comes to these computers.

This is a very inexpensive unfinished frame I got at a local craft store. I covered it with paper and then used some Stampin Up flowers, and brads to dress it up. There are also some vines and birds that I cut out using a Stampin' Up die for my Big shot.

Ok I had a wild idea to cover a old picture frame today that I had from my days as a 4-H leader. It was a turquoise color to match our decorations. Since I really like anything western I decided to use a leather designed paper to cover the frame with. I am really happy with it. So I will now be looking for old frames to perk up! The picture in the frame is my kids and grand kids at the pumpkin patch this fall.

I decided I wanted to make a box for gift a little larger than some of the boxes I had done so far. I really like how this one turned out. The flowers on top are punched out use 2 different Stampin' up pinches. Then curled thin strips of paper around a small pen to get the curly streamers. This is the front of the box using the Stampin' Up butterfly punch, and designer label punch and hardware from the modge podge set. and some more curly streamers and bling.

This one is a easel card that I made for a new baby boy in the family.

Oops made a mistake the January stamp club will meet on friday the 15th at my office.

Following is a calender I made for my sister-in law for Christmas, i really love how it turned out.
Happy new year!

hi there

Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, I've been kinda taken a break from paper and doing some sewing for Christmas! I'm going to have the best dressed grandbabies! I also finished a western shirt for my dear sweet hubby and the youngest son this week. My son saw the camo shirt I was making Hubby and he asked me to make him one too, so him and I went shopping and he bought the material for his. I really love to sew for my family and I've neglected my sewing machine lately! So bear with me while I get back in the swing of things, and be looking for some great new things comeing from Stampin up next Month!
