Easter Basket Class

I cased this lil 'basket' from Sage Kimball.
LOVE it! So, I designed a class around it.
Last Friday and Saturday, I did a class where they made
the Basket, a Card and a cute lil Photo Album.
They LOVED the projects!

It's fixin' to get warm around here! During the day, anyway. I'm still using the wood stove at night, though. I just wish we would get some moisture! The forest is so dry, again!

Thanks for your visit!

Snail Mail...

Who doesn't like to get snail mail??? It's 'happy mail'.
Here is my latest 'snail mail':

So....let's just make MULTIPLES!

Is there a name for me??

I am a MULTIPLE ADDICT!

I used up some of my stashed, embossed VINTAGE VOGUE flowers

that were already cut out and had dimensionals on most of them, even!

I think the NEXT batch of these

*yeah, I have a bunch cut out and ready to go next time I get to the 'little house'*

I will tweak a bit. I think there is too much white space.

What do you think?

Send some TODAY!

March 2011 Workshop Projects

Here's what the girls made for the March 2011 Workshop. They had their choice of the green St. Patricks Day card. I'll have to dig to remember where I CASE'ed the shamrock/flower card...I wanted to show how to use the 2-step Bird Punch in a different way. I think I'll have a class with that punch, like I did with the 2-step Owl Punch...that one was a HIT!

That's all for now....

Thanks for your visit!

...don't laugh!

I saw a cute little flower 'vase' HERE the other day, and thought I would try using my cute little Petal Cone Die to make something for the tables for my workshop this Friday and Saturday.
They gave me FITS! The hardest part was getting things to stand up right in them. I should have used some florist foam *ha! Brilliant idea from the ex-florist*.  Anyway, it is what it is. I'd love to see YOUR creations, if you try something like this!

If you have any questions on how I did these *gasp*, just email me.
Thanks for your visit!

Pink Motorcylce Card

My cousin and her hubby are B.I.G Harley lovers, so, I HAD to make her a card with a Motorcycle!
I've waited ALL year to make this! hehehe Notice the Motorcycle stamp is retired and from last years Occassions Mini. I had saved someones Pink Motorcycle card image, and now that I needed it, do you suppose I could find it???? Well, this is my version, so, it tickles me that I didn't actually CASE someone elses! Close, but, not quite! hehehe
I did make one, teeny, tiny, little mistake, though.... In my frenzied state of pink happiness, I put the card front on wrong, so, the card opens down, instead of up..ya think she'll mind??? LOL
I told her there was NO WINE involved in the making of this card!

Don't you just LOVE that pink Designer Series Paper?!?!? It's part of the Valentine's pack that is currently on the CLEARANCE RACK! Do get you some before it's ALL GONE! Love it! It's a glittered pack!

Thanks for your visit!

Or, maybe you just want an easy project?
Or, maybe you want to have a 'take-along' project?
Or, maybe you need a gift?
I have the perfect solution for you!

Reusing...

When I sent in my first order this year, I received some FREE Valentine's rub-ons from Stampin' Up!
I am still 'hoarding' the rub-ons, but, I DID reuse the little note telling me about why I received them! HA!
*I wish I would have taken a picture of it before I used it up*

I cut out the ballon heart, popped it up with DIMENSIONALS, and put CRYSTAL EFFECTS on the red heart. The Happy Valentines Day was cut out and I rounded the corners with my PAPER SNIPS. I popped that onto a BASIC BLACK MODERN LABEL punchout, and popped that up onto the WHISPER WHITE cardstock that I ran threw my BIG SHOT with the POLKA DOT EMBOSSING FOLDER. I ran some BASIC BLACK 1/8" TAFFETA RIBBON around the white piece and attached it with some SNAIL ADHESIVE. I used the MINI TAG PUNCH and punched out 3 tags. I used TINY TAGS set to stamp and decorate the tags. Added a couple RHINESTONES and a PRETTY IN PINK mini heart, that was punched out of the 2-step OWL PUNCH. I put those onto a pewter colored mini safety pin from the VINTAGE TRINKETS and ran the pin behind the ribbons, then, I added a tiny little bow to the pin.

The inside was finished off with another piece of the rub-on note that I cute out and attached a few more little pink hearts.

I'm happy with it and will probably give it to my hubby...

Has anyone else used their little note for anything???
