Daisy Bucket Card Class

Ladies here is the Daisy bucket class for next month. We will be making cards with the Daisy Bucket Printed Paper and you will receive a Daisy Bucket sentiment stamp only avalible with the class.

Registration is now open.... Please call the shoppe to sign up 706-321-0202

Here is a card I made for the card challenge at the Scrapbook Shoppe. It was our first challange and at first I was sweating it out waiting to see if anyone would perticipate. In the end we had six cards and Ms. Betty won the contest.
Ms. Betty does amazing Heritage pages, she just finished scrapbooking her husbands family and made one for each sibling WOW!!! Now she has started on her family. So as you can tell she doesn't have a whole lot of time for cards, but she has taken an interest. After her suprise 50th anniversary party she made a Homemade card for each guest to thank them for joining in thier celebration. From all this you can see she is an amazing woman and I proud she joined our challange, and can't wait to see what she will be working on next.

I loved this CHERRY BLOSSOM paper from the Scrapbook Shoppe, it is also carried in black. To pretty!!

So I made these cards for a friend and she loved them. This little one is done on a small note card from SU and I used their sentiments on both cards. See how simple the cards are made with paper and a sentiment stamp. Cards can be as simple or as elaberate as you like. The more you get into creating the more you'll add to them. I love to show how easy they are to make. If you have any questions feel free to contact me through my cbox. Have a good week end.

One Sheet Wonder

My February 28th class will be a layout & set of cards made from one sheet of Printed Paper.

Here is a sneek peek . . .

A few seats are still available. Stop by or call The Shoppe to register.

We also still have 2 more seats left for this weekend's "Heat Embossing" class.

If you'd like to get started using this technique, we'll show you how easy it is!

Stayed tuned for more upcoming classes . . .(Hint-Hint ~ There's one on the way from Daisy Bucket!)

Voting

The vote is in my friends. The question was "What are your favorite embellishments when making a card." Well Ribbon has it hands down with Gems following close behind.
Thank you for your votes and please keep an eye out so you can take part in my next pole.

Ok, I finally found someone who found someone who figured it out!! For all of us with the little dollar stamps that want them orginized neatly into groups and also to be able to view them in groups. Here is the answer, BASEBALL CARD SLEEVES.
Can you believe it? My friend Shelly brought her stamps in for me to look at. I was so impressed at how easy they were to transport and to view. My friend Dillie and I have been pondering this for a few months now, trying to figure out the best way orginize and view our stamps. So I'm off to find some baseball card sleeves and a three ring binder. I can't wait to get mine orginized!

Cards for class on January 31, 2009

I know I said my second class of 2009 would be a technique class, but I decided in order for you to have plenty of time to get your cards in the mail I would do the Valentine cards on the 31st of January and a technique class on the 7th of February.

So here they are our Valentine Card Cluster Class. We will be making five of each card, you will be taking home ten cards in all.

The first card is on black card stock, with white script stamped on it, a red tree and red hearts cut with a die cut. Your sentiment is stamped inside. This card turned out beautiful, I love the colors together. If your wondering how you will write on your cards don't. Cheryl has ordered some white pigment pens and they should be in before class, so keep an eye out for her email letting you know they have come in.


Our second card is chocolate card stock with a piece of printed card stock with a ribbon tied on it and a heart from one of the die cuts from the shoppe. The heart has been run through the Cuttlebug to make the dots dimensional and a sentiment has been stamped on the front.

Here is a close up of the heart and it's demensions.
These cards were too fun, I can't wait to share them with you in class. See you there.

Cards for class on January 17, 2006

Here are the cards for my first card class of 2009 WOOHOO!

Our first cards of the year will give us a head start on all the Birthdays we have to prepare for. You will need to bring your birthday list so you can customize your cards to fit your spacific friend or loved one. I guess I made this card for myself, May 6th is my birthdate. I wanted to give you an idea of how your completed card will look, with your months and dates stamped on the front of your cards.
The next card is all male, as you can see the animals, the colors and the ebellishments all say this card is for the guys in your life. I wanted us to be ahead on guy cards becuase to often while making our cards we get lost in the flowers, stickles and ribbon, and you all know how I am about ribbon :)
So here they are, now come out to the Scrapbook Shoppe in Columbus and sign up for the class before the 17th of January at 10:30 am, and let's get our New Year started off right.

I had a great time at the Calander Class taught by Cheryl, the owner of The Scrapbook Shop. We had a blast and the calanders came out looking fabulous. You'll have to go by the shop and check Cheryl's out.
While I was there a private party came in and I heard them talking about cards, so I mossied over to check it out and fouund out they were starting a card swap club and invited me to join. I am soooo excited, I already have a plan for my first card, I'll keep you posted on how it is coming along.
Oh and we have bunnies, My husband had baught bunnies for the grands without mama's permission ( a NO NO for sure) so for almost a year he has tended to the grandbabies bunnies and these bunnies have been growing!!! We have had a few litters but they never made it ( you wouldn't believe how hard it is for bunnies to live, when they are newborns) so a few days ago my husband went out like he does every morning and there in the hay in like a little cacoon were baby bunnies, they had to be over 7 days because we had lost the last one at that time frame and these are a little bigger than it. So today he went out and called me because they were uncovered and there are 4, one black and white, two white and one white and some funny markings of gray, TOOOOOO CUTE. I can't wait to hold them, but for now we are letting momma do her job. I'll post pics as soon as I can get some good ones :) And I don't think we'll mention it to the grands, as we don't know if we will be keeping them yet.
Well I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Welcome

Today I began my blog, I haven't done any creative work today, I've been cleaning house, will the work ever be done? Tomorrow I plan to spend the day cropping with my friends at the Scrapbook Shoppe. I have a few items I need to get started on and the one I will start tomorrow is my Christmas cookie and candy swap I have to get my recipe cards finished. All my friends have gotten theirs done and I haven't even started. I have my papers and I have it set in my mind how I want it to look, now I have to run and get ribbon and an embellishment I know I want from Wal-Mart. I guess I'll pick that up tonight after work. I'll add my pics as soon as I get at least one page done lol. We have 10 people in the swap. Oh, and I do a card class at the shop at least once a month, I'll try to get the pics up of the next card class so you can see them. I'll see ya at the shop if you show up.
