Stamp Club

A month or so ago our stamp club did a catalog workshop. It was tough for everyone to get together so we did the catalog show and planned our workshop for a later date. Yesterday was still an issue for a few of the gals but we did get together to create our projects and oh what fun we had!

The crafting placemat is always decorated with a theme...yesterday was with paper lanterns...a new set in the upcoming catalog. The words from bottle rocket stamp set.

Our projects for the day!

 These cards were from National Conference and were perfect for our stamp club.

My display of new products and sample cards and swap cards from National Conference.

As always we have lots of good eats!

Thanks Karen and Casey for a great afternoon and Shari and Colleen...we really missed you!

I'll see you all at my open house later this month to kick off the new catalog!

New paper!

Here is some of the new card stock that will be available in the new catalog! You are going to love this reverse polka dot. It's wonderful to stamp your image and color. So versatile and fun to use.

Catalog will be here soon!

Jar picks

A friend asked me to make some photo picks for her daughter's graduation party that is coming up.

I put together these jar picks for her and all she has to do is add the photos. 

I stamped some theme words on the back of each one using the retired conGRADulations stamp set from amuse studio. 

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to my wonderful sister! I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic year! I love you so much! See you soon!

First Communion gift

I have been giving this as a gift for the First Communion recipients for the last several years. It is a great keepsake box for all their cards and gifts they receive. I get the box at Hobby Lobby and use various stamps and embellishments to make it special. This is the first time I have been able to add the First Communion pictures as usually the party is the same day as the First Communion. Elena lives in China and she made hers last month so I was able to snag some pictures and use them.

Congratulations Elena and may God bless you always!

First Communion Card

Lots of parties coming up and so I have to get moving on making cards. I am ahead of the game for a First Communion celebration coming later this month. I used some oldies but goodies for this card. These are some old wood block stamps I have had in my stash for a long, long time. They are my go to stamps for religious cards. I used amuse studio bubblegum cardstock and grapefruit pinstripe for the card base. I stamped in versafine ink and popped the cross...add a little shimmer and a bow and a beautiful card is created. 

$100 challenge

At conference we consultants had an opportunity to create a $100 card...that meant the entire cost of the card included all the products you would need to create such cards. What an inspirational board!
