Good morning, Just letting you know that my next order is going in Monday at 10am.
Below is just a pretty pool party card. I used some scraps from my stampers seven class, actually the remnants of the label framelit, cut it to a kind of tailed bow and used my boho blossom punch to make the flowers. I had a bleached background behind that, used a piece for the celebrate and added some pool party ribbon, oh a few pearls too. Like I said just a real pretty card.
Have a great Saturday, Jo
As promised yesterday here is one of the 5 cards we will be making at card club. Again, using the open sea on Watercolour paper.... Love this set.
I still have one spot left for the Thursday night class and lots of room in the Wed. 10am. If anyone is interested in just trying one class the 10 am would be a perfect class to attend. Just ask......Jo
RE: yesterday's post, so this is such a cool technique, I scored the lines in my paper and dragged my ink pads down them to create an uneven colour. I used Sahara sand paper, then white stazon, or craft ink. Let dry!!! Then I actually dragged sahara sand ink, then a bit of the brown and blue from the Distressing Essentials Kit, page 203 in the big catalogue. I also used the round sander to create the holes in the card. The kit comes with lots of fun distressing stuff!!!
I just can't seem to get enough of this stamp set. Card club in March will be using the set, not this card but maybe I will post the card we are doing tomorrow.
I origonally saw a similar card on Cindy week's site, Kims very very talented downline and had to try it, now I know she was inspired by someone else's card, sorry don't know who?
Anyways, nothing wrong with casing!!! We usually put our own little twist on things.I used crysal effects on the sails to really make them look 3d, you actually can't see it on this picture but I assure you it is there. With this technique everyone is different. The base card stock can change all the colours. Whether you drag, gray, brown, blue, all helps to put your own personal touch into the card. Hope you like it.... JO
Good morning everyone!! Well what a fun week with the blog candy contest. Kim and I will post everything tomorrow and the winner will be announced, again thanks so much and it was really nice to see so many comments and I hope you come back on a regular basis.
Did everyone have a good family day??? Mine was lovely, sisters over and Sunday night all the kids were home for dinner and we actually got Grant out to a movie. We saw "safe house" it was great, all 5 of us were at the movie theatre and I'm not sure if that has ever happened, Grant has been before but not with all of the kids at once.
So last week at Stampers club I demo'd two cards, both background cards.... It was a lot of fun as always and I can't believe that my stampers 7 only has one more month. I think I will try and run some individual teqniuque classes until september and then start up a new stampers 7 again.
Virginia has both cards we created in her hands....
My card club has finished and starting up again in March.... We meet the second Wednesday and Thursday of the month.
Cost is $22.00 and you usually make 5 cards, insides and envelopes too. My classes always have wonderful ladies in it.
Right now I have lots of room in my Wednesday daytime class, 10am until 1ish. You just have to bring your sticky strip and adhesive. If anyone knows of someone that may be looking for something crafty to do during the day please pass my name on.
Attending: Julie, Penny, Marlynne, Lindy
WEDNESDAY EVENING CLASS, is full
Attending: Suzanne, Kay, Virginia, Irene, Sandy, Val R, Bonnie and Pat
THURSDAY EVENING CLASS, still room and if you can't make it one of the days you can switch into the other evenings class, this happens all the time and it always works out.
Attending: Sharon, Cheryl, Sandra, Carol, Dawn, Joanne, Susan B... so I have 1 spots left here....
Class dates are...March 14, 15, April April 11, 12, May 9, 10, June 13, 14....

Our first class for the Mix it Up club is soon aproaching March 1st, for the Home Sweet Home board. I need to know by tomorrow if there is anyone else interested since I am putting in my next order this Tuesday at NOON.
