Project #2

French Foliage is the name of this new stamp set - especially love the largest leaf. Truly beautiful. You might be able to spot the Thankful decoration we made 2 or 3 years ago. I am sorely tempted to update it with new colors and new papers. I think this set would look fabulous on it. If time wasn't an option I would be doing it now!

This card also uses vanilla smoosh paint for extra shimmer.

project #1!

This several new things from the latest mini. Chunky champagne glass glitter, new punch and the waffle paper. The stamp set is new - called Day of Gratitude and the paper is Autumn spice. Those of you who participated in the Fall Try It club will find several of those items with your stuff!

September Camp

is this Friday!

Two sessions - 2pm and 7pm

$15 ($10 for club members)

RSVPS are needed by no later than Wednesday afternoon.

Here are the projects - I will post close ups during the week!

Hope to see you there!

August Specials are coming!

Keep checking this site over the next few days and into August. I will be having a drawing for the hostess set "Because I Care" ~ along with specials on items that were in my Try It clubs and select items to retrofit your collections with new colors!

Til then - enjoy these samples from the latest swap I participated in. I LOVE the mushrooms and am still trying to resist the urge.......................to order them. I love all things 70's - and I think they are more than a little of the 70's I love!

Try It Club

I did take pictures of each of the Designer Series Paper sets - will post those. The catalog swatches never do them justice!

Two more great Try It clubs will be coming up shortly - for the upcoming Holiday Mini!

I had fun dividing up this years Try It Club (with a little sense of regret - because they all filled and there was not a spot for me!) I tried to decide which paper was my fave...........that was hard!

Big Shot fun!

Things have been a little on the rough side here recently - so I have not had much time to post pictures. But - stay tuned - I am auto-programming tonight so there will be samples nearly every day this week! So check back - there will be some specials thrown in here and there too!

When things are a bit down it is when you really appreciate your friends. A dear one showed up last week bearing our very favorite deep dish mushroom pizza AND stamped goodies to show off. Moments like that make life bearable.

Here are two of the cutest things she brought - both feature the Big shot. The flower is made from a suede/leatherish skirt from the Goodwill! It is so cute! The second is a great tropical favor, the tree is filled with milk duds! so cute!

Something fun for Saturday??

Many of you know that my mom and her husband have accumulated thousands of antiques. The large majority will be up for auction this Saturday - so if you are local - you can come. Or, if you are not, you can have a look and bid online. There are some true treasures to be had!

Here is the catalog and info:
http://www.antiquehelper.com/upcoming-auctions/260

Occasions Mini is in it's final days

Colors in this card are retiring - and pieces used in it are in the Occassions Mini - don't miss out on something on your wish list!

Bunches of Birthdays is moving dates.......

It is now at 4pm this coming Sunday – April 25th.

We are doing 10 cards – 5 designs 2 of each – all CAN be birthday cards, but some designs can be used for other occasions if you leave off the greeting.

Cost is $30 – AND I hope to have my list ready of retiring pads and refills that you can purchase – prices will be great and vary according to the amount of refill left. You will be let me know which of my collection you want and then pick them up in July once I can not use them any more.

I want to get this class in during April, I have SO much stuff to use up from the current mini catalog – so the cards will be heavy on embellishmentsJ

RSVPS are needed by Tuesday pm.

Hope to see you Sunday!

What we did in April

besides laugh and have a great time? Here are some of the projects!

enjoy!

Hilton Head Holiday!

We had a glorious time at the beach at Hilton Head Island, SC and a wonderful day at my favorite US city Savannah, GA. If you have been to neither - highly recommend them both to you!
