Season of Style

The Season of Style Designer Series Paper is really classy.  I love the layering the various patterns in the collection.

Christmas Messages

Sometimes you want to send a card during the holidays to let someone know your thinking of them during the time of year.  A Christmas card just doesn't say what you want to say.  This card is perfect to let someone know your thinking of them in a special way.  I sent this card to my dear friend Margaret who recently had surgery.

The card could easily be modified to make it a Christmas card or for someone who has a birthday around Christmas.  At my November stamp camp I had a variety of stamps that would change the greeting that could be used for a different purposes.  My customers stayed with the sentiment that I used because the inside sentiment is what makes the card perfect for someone who is in your thoughts this time of year:

One more thing….This was my swap card at our Gathering Place Regional Event back in September.

Truly Grateful

I am going to dedicate this card to truly great peeps.  I made this card for my October Stamp Camp at Kroptoberfest.  Kroptoberfest was a Columbus Day weekend crop at the Holidays Shore Resort in the Lake of the Ozarks.  Spending time with my peeps, stamping & watching the game on the Big Screen was AWESOME!!!!!   I am truly blessed to have such fabulous group of friends who have a like passion.  I've even turned a few of them into baseball fans.

Sally:  I  haven't forgot that I owe you a button.

Fall Regional Make & Take

 The Gathering Place is a group of Stampin’ UP! demonstrators who periodically gather for events to share ideas, learn new techniques, network and just have a good time.  We have product demonstrations, technique tutorials, make & takes and of course, swapping.  Our Fall Regional event was held this past Saturday.  We had 4 seasons of make & takes; Halloween, Fall, Christmas and Winter.  This is the make & take that I chose for the Winter theme.  The card design is by Cathy Parlitis and the Tag design is by Kim Coulter (my very own peep).  We had a great time and made lots of memories.  It was an absolute pleasure to work with the team of Sally Nusbaum (our fearless leader) Cheryl Renth and Kim Coulter to make this event a great success.  Oh What Fun!

da Vinci Moments

Leonardo da Venci was a painter, sculptor and architect.  This card is my da Vinci moment and as close as I get to artistry.  Using Watercolor Paper, the Aqua Painter and Simply Pressed Clay, I practically felt like an artist.  At my stamp camp yesterday, we also stamped and painted the inside of the card and then envelope.  It was really a fun project and the outcome would make a perfect card for many occassions.
