My little character...

It's been a long time, since I've blogged, but with the New Year, comes new resolve! I wanted to post this fun pic from last summer of my youngest son. I just love his expression in this photo. I hope to get back into the routine of posting here more regularly. I'll try to get my recent club projects uploaded soon!

Berry Christmas Class

Hi ladies,

I have finally found a few minutes to update my blog! It's been way too long since I've posted on here! I just wanted to post the pictures for the projects that I'm doing at my upcoming Berry Christmas card class. If you'd like to come and join us, please contact me. We will be making six projects using the Berry Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini. (You can click on the images to get a better view.) Thanks for visiting!

Animal Stories

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all managing to keep cool in this heat wave! I think it's off to the lake for me today! Here is a card that I made with the ladies at my New Catalogue Party. I'm really enjoying this stamp set from the new catalogue! So fun!

Stamps: Animal Stories, Short & Sweet
Ink: Real Red, Cameo Coral
Paper: Real Red, Cameo Coral, Whisper White, Pink Flamingo Designer Paper
Accessories: Real Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Word Window Punch

Cleaning my Cupboard...

Hello Ladies,

Well, I've been cleaning out my stamp cupboard, and found that I have several of each of these two great sets from Sale-A-Bration. The top set is called Merci, and is beautiful for watercolouring. I especially love the butterfly and bee stamps. They are perfect for spring and summer cards. The bottom set is the Polka Dot Punches stamp set, which I love because it coordinates with so many of Stampin' Up!'s great punches. Please contact me for more information if you'd like to get your hands on either or both of these retired sets. Enjoy the sunny day!

Wonderful Father...

Hi!

Here is a Father's Day card I made with my club ladies last month. It's not very often I make a masculine card, even though I seem to need them just as often! It feels good to have this made ahead of time, now I just need to make two more for the other special dad's in my life!

Here's the recipe:

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Wonderful Favorites
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Kraft, Whisper White, Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Stamping Sponges, Vintage Brads, Old Olive 1/4 " Grosgrain Ribbon

Finally a Scrapbook Page...

Hello!

Here is a scrapbook page that I completed a few weeks ago. It felt so good to get my scrapbooking things out, and actually make some progress in my kids' books! This is a page I made using the Sweet Slumber Specialty paper. I just love this colour combination! I also love the new Latte Buttons as well as the Designer flower brads. (Sorry there's a bit of a glare on the photos...next stop photography school...) Anyway, thanks for visiting!

Polka Dot Punches

Hi Everyone,
Here is one of my favorite stamp sets from Sale-A-Bration this year. I love this set because it coordinates with so many of Stampin' Up!'s punches, which makes it really quick and easy to make great looking projects.




Here is a cute little paper purse that I will be making for one of my upcoming classes. I saw this idea on one of the blogs that I visit, and I just had to give it a try. It was my first attempt at a paper purse, and I really had fun making it. I like this idea because there is a small white paper bag inside, perfect to use for a little something for someone special.
