March Madness

As we get older time seems to go faster and faster, so I apologize for not getting these posted sooner.  In March we created a quilted card using the stamp of the month, a fun egg card (since Easter was at the end of March this year) and some cute 3x3 cards using Petite Perks.  It was nice to see some paper that could be used for the boys in our lives, so the layout this month was Later Sk8r.
March madness:

 The March Stamp of the Month--Floral Happiness--was used to create this quilt card.  We used the For Always paper pack.

Happy Easter Everyone

 The Petite Perks stamp set this month was so cute and using some past paper--Elemental--we created these cards.  These were cut out using the cricut and Art Philosophy cartridge exclusively from Close to My Heart.

This layout was created from the Later Sk8r Workshop on the Go paper pack and exclusive stamp set.  I always create my own layout pattern for my customers so that if they choose to purchase the WOTG kit they can copy that layout in the recipe to add to this one.

February Class Projects

Well I have been AWOL for the past few months and I need to do a better job posting (and then maybe I will get a few more followers!!)  Thanks to my customer Carol for motivating me to get rolling again.  I am behind on showing you the class projects so I will back up and show the last few months projects in case anyone is looking for some new ideas.  These are what we did in February:

February Stamp of the Month--Home Sweet Home

This cute card features an "A" size stamp set Bumble Bee which sell for $6.95

Another "A" size stamp set A Friend used for our 3x3 cards

This layout was made using the Claire Workshop on the Go.  This was a fun pattern to do and makes for a unique design when the pages are put together side by side.

Classes will be this weekend and I wanted to share with you the projects we will be doing.  It is suppose to be very cold, so come on over, get out of the cold and do some crafting with us.

This 2 page layout will be featuring the beautiful La Belle Vie paper with some fancy squares cut out by the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.

This beautiful card, also using the La Belle Vie paper, is showcasing the January stamp of the Month which will only be available until January 31st and then it will be unavailable.

This fun card uses the Dakota paper pack and can be used for male or female.  Sometimes it is hard to create for the guy in your life--but this one is sure to please!

Of course we always like to have a 3x3 card and this month is no exception.  Here is a perfect card to add to your bag or gift for that someone special on Valentine's Day.  This card uses the embossing technique.

Welcome 2013!!  Hope everyone had good holidays with family and friends.  Check out this great workshop I am offering on January 19th for only $25.  You will get all the supplies you need to complete this box (using Avonlea paper and our new silver shimmer tape).  When completed you will have 10 matching cards, envelopes and a pen.  Hope you can join us for some fun. 

January classes will be on the 12th, 13th and 14th so mark those calendars!!  The new Idea book is here so everyone will get their copy at the January classes.

December 1st and the holidays are right around the corner!  Great day at the Bear Creek HS craft fair today and I look forward to the display tray workshop tomorrow.  Next week we will have our December classes and I wanted to share the class projects with you.

These cute 3x3 cards are made using the stamp set Cup of Cheer (B1404 $9.95)

This fun card using the Pirouette stamp set (B1409 $9.95) will feature the embossing technique.  It is a clean simple card, but looks so eloquent.

Gotta love the new cricut cartridge because of all the 700 fun items you can make with it.  Using the December stamp of the month Year-Round Cheer and one of the swing card cricut patterns, the gals will make one of these at class.  This great stamp set features an icon for each month, so what a great set to use for making calendars.  Remember this stamp set (S1212) will only be available Dec.1-31

This month the layout will feature the Avonlea WOTG kit.  Lots of fun shapes cut out with the cricut gives this one a unique look.  (Can you tell how much I love and use our cricut cartridges!!)

Display Tray Workshop

On December 2nd I will be offering a workshop using our wonderful display trays.  The cost will be $30 which includes the tray, compliments to match the paperpack chosen, background and texture paper pre-cut and a few other fun items.  Those planning to attend the workshop should bring 15-20 pictures so your project will be totally complete when you leave.  You may select the Pear &Partridge, Avonlea or Clementine paper.

Pear & Partridge paper

This is a close-up of the flower you will make to add to your project.  The flower was cut out from the Artiste cartridge.

The Avonlea paperpack is wonderful to use with your black and white photos.

Look how beautiful this flower turned out!

Clementine paperpack is great to use with all those kid photos!!

November classes

The November classes were split this month due to several craft fairs, but we still had a great time with the projects.  The waterfall card we made using our cute snowman stamp set was a big hit.  Look at their cute little faces!!

The 3x3 cards were made using the scholastic paper pack for the base (pattern cut out using the new cricut Artiste cartridge) and the Pun Fun stamp set.

The stamp of the month (Capture the Date) was a challenge to come up with a card for class.  I did random stamping on our new Whisper card stock and then allowed the gals to create a card with their special date on it.  This card could be used for male or female because of the color scheme.

Hard to believe how quickly the holidays sneak up on us, but I like to do the Christmas layout in November so my customers have one of their holiday pages ready to go.  We used the WOTG Pear and Partridge.  These papers have such great color and design.  They will be gone after Jan.31st, so if you like them be sure to buy a few packs before they are gone for good!
