Holiday Parade Of Projects!!

Holy Cow where did the time go!?, I can't believe it has been so long since I posted!! I have been so BUSY!! Here is another card from my last Christmas Card Class, a couple weeks ago, just to have something new to look at. At least until I get some pictures of all the fun stuff that I have been working on lately!!

This weekend at Scraps of Life we will be doing our Parade of Holiday Projects!! If you sign up you can come and make 6 different make-n-takes with all of the teachers, preview the upcoming classes, and get a jump on your holiday projects !! There will be all kinds of new papers and goodies, for fall and Christmas !! It is going to be so FUN!! Hope to see some of you there!!

Swap Card

Here is a card that I made for a swap over on Paper Wings!

It was not what I originally pictured, but I think I like it anyway! I used a hostess set for the sentiment, and the heart is from a new set called"Forever Family", all from The Angel Company. Sorry for the really short posts lately, things are BUSY here, and I am just trying to keep up! Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Christmas Tree...

Another Christmas card! This one is simple and quick, but I think quite pretty too. I used all Angel Company stamps, the tree is from a new set called"Joy of Christmas" , the polka dot strips are from "Friendship Strips", and the sentiment is from a hostess set called "Just for You". Hope you enjoy this one!

Laugh!

Just a quick post to say hi and share this card that I made for a swap over on Paper Wings! All the stamps are from the Angel Company, the background is made with my favorite leaf stamp, from a set called "Deco Designs". I am really enjoying all the circle sets that we have right now too, the leafy circle is from "All Occasion Circles", and "laugh" is from a beautiful set called "Summer Elegance". I hope you enjoy this one, I think it turned out kind of pretty! Have a great day!!

Upcoming Classes!!

Hello, I am back!! So sorry I fell of the face of the Earth there for a bit, I can be clumsy that way sometimes. It has been SUPER busy here at my house, busy, busy, busy! It's all good though!
I have been preparing for several up coming classes at Scraps of Life, and also classes for a weekend retreat with Scrap Happy Retreats!
The pictures here are for my upcoming class at Scraps of Life on Sept. 13th. In the top photo are some samples from my "Scor-pal" class, in addition to these three projects we will be making 3 different styles of folded cards and 2 different styles of envelopes to match. It's a hands on class, to learn the basics (and more) of this most wonderful tool!

This next photo is of one of the cards we will be making in my "Christmas Card Club" . Every month from now thru Dec. I will be teaching 8 new and different cards each month all themed for Christmas. Then when the holidays arrive, your cards will be ready! This class will also be held on Sept. 13th.

There is limited room in each class, so please sign up early if you are interested in either of these classes!

I have lots more goodies to post in the days to come, again sorry for not updating sooner. I hope you all are having a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!!

More Christmas...

It's been really busy around our house the last few weeks, holy cow! Today is the first day of school for my kiddos, and the first day of Kindergarten for my son!! It seems like only yesterday it was my daughters first day of Kindergarten, and now she is in the 4th grade!!

Anyway here is another card for the Christmas stack! Very quick and simple to make too!! I used a reverse masking technique, and sponged the ink into the circle. I stamped the ink off once to get the lighter snowflakes inside of the circle. Then I removed my masking and stamped the large snowflake, (with full strength ink) and sentiment. The snowflakes and the sentiment are both from The Angel Company, "Ornamental Snowflakes" and "Holiday Liners". I layered my card front on a scrap of bright blue Bazzil Bling card stock (wow try to say the 10 times fast!), added some silver cording and a little gem. I am really happy with how it turned out, hope you enjoy it to!

Another Angel...

I know that I've said this before, but I love these Angels! I am one of those people who always have a million plans for the Holidays, but fail to start early enough. So this year I am getting a jump start on my holiday cards, so that I will actually send them in the mail to all the people that I love......I hope.

This card is made with the set "Just Dream" from the Angel Company, and colored with Copic markers. It's kind of difficult to read her sign, it says "Celebrate", I wanted Happy Holidays, or Merry Christmas, but didn't have the right size.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!
