There are samples at "The Crafters Mall" right now, for the first Christmas card class on the 19th of this month if you want to check it out!! I will be adding samples for the next Christmas card class after the 19th. I will hopefully have some pictures up here in the next few days, class samples and other creations too, I have a new computer!!! Thank you Mike and Merrie!!

I will also be teaching a mini album class at "Scrappin' Friends", our new scrap booking store here in town!! If you have not been in to see it, you really need to, it is cozy and cute, and there are lots of fun new papers to choose from! Not to mention the great area to crop in, go check it out!!

Okay, so I did fall off the face of Earth!

If there is anyone out there still peeking in on my poor little blog here, I guess I really did fall off the face of the planet! (I guess I am more clumsy than I thought!) So sorry!! My computer is still giving me fits, I can't post any photos here for some unknown reason, and believe me I have tried! Please know that I am working on it and will have lots of wonderful projects back on here as soon as I can!! :) I have a boat load of great stuff to share.......

CRASH!!

Really, I didn't fall off the face of the earth, but it sure felt like it, our computer crashed!! Thankfully it was repairable and we are back up and running now. But it is like moving, I can't find anything and I have no idea what box to look in!! I have lots to share, and when I figure out where the photos are, I will! Hope all is well in your world!! :) Have a great day!!

Angel Art Challenge : Birthday!

This Months Angel Art Challenge theme is Birthdays! The Angel Company has so many great paper lines, so this month I decided to focus on the paper! This first card was made using the Miss Moxie collection, one of my favorites I love it's bright colors, perfect for sending birthday wishes!! I also used "Ordinary Greetings" for the sentiment.

The second card was made using the Mimi collection, another favorite, and "Just Because" for the sentiment.

Don't forget to go see all the other inspiring creations for the other Angels participating in the challenge.

May Classes!

What a great day today! It was my Monthly Hostess Group Meeting, it's always so fun to hang out with those wonderful crafty ladies! (and hey you other Hostess Group gals, you know who you are, I miss you guys, can't wait to start our challenge group!)

Wow, April went by so fast! And here we are in May already, time for a little peek at my upcoming classes at Scraps of Life May 16th. I will be teaching a card class in the morning, 8 cards created with this beautiful "Bloom and Grow" paper line from My Minds Eye. (Love it!!) Then in the afternoon we will be creating this fun and whimsical 6x6 mini album using the Bind it all and the wonderful "Girl Friday" paper from Cosmo Cricket. (Love it too!!) If you are interested in either of these classes please contact Scraps of Life, and remember you can always order a kit if you can't make it to the class.

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, thanks for stopping by!!

The Morning Buzz...

I am part of the Winger design Team over on Paper Wings, an Angel Gallery and Forum. The Gallery is open to everyone, and there are some very talented gals over there, you should check it out if you haven't already. Anyway, a couple months ago our theme for the month was "Going Green" as in recycling, reusing, green! This is one of the things that I made, I used a Level B Hostess set "The Morning Buzz", one of my favorite color combo's - Craft card stock, brown and red! I "recycled" some news paper and used it as a background, a little ribbon and ta-da! I really like how this one turned out. What do you think?

April Angel Art Challenge

This months Angel Art Challenge was to use our stamps for scraping, not just any stamps, gift with purchase stamps and hostess sets! This is my sweet girl and her best feline friend, Finn. (sorry for the photo looks funny, it looks really grainy, but honestly it's not) I used a 12x12 piece of craft card stock and stamped the paw prints (gift with purchase stamp) in Palette Burnt Umber. I added a strip of Amberly Grace paper and a scalloped strip of coordinating card stock. After backing the photo with the same card stock, I added the velvet ribbon over the top of the photo, finishing it off with a quick bow. I used the level B hostess set Perfect Friends for the kitty image and sentiment, punched it out with my mega circle punch, and layered it using my giga scalloped circle punch. The flowers and buttons are from the Audrey Embellishment Jar.

I like how this turned out. It is so funny to watch these two everyday, Finn loves all of us, but especially my sweet girl, and she is just crazy for him. So sweet. I wanted to get a picture so you could see both of their eyes, but Finn blinked, honestly they have the same eye color!

I hope you will hop over and visit the other Angels who are participating in this challenge.
