New Cards

I just love this stamp set from the August kit of the month (Loads of Fun).  I had to use it when I was creating cards as Christmas gifts for my co-workers.  I was able to make 24 cards in two days, that's a first for me, it helped that I just made six of each card. 

Here is a card I just finished for a friends wedding.  I absolutely love the quality of the circle bliss background stamp.  It looks like printed paper, and there are so many options on how to use it. 

Winter Retreat

I had a wonderful time last weekend in Arizona being pampered by the generosity of Richard Garay.  I was privileged to be one of his first house guest in his gorgeous new home.  We enjoyed the fabulous views from his back porch and the opportunity to watch a movie under snugly blankets while eating fresh popcorn in his amazing movie theater.  In addition we created some amazing projects and of course ate and ate and ate.
All in all it was a wonderful time and I left refreshed and inspired.  There are amazing things in store with the company and I can't wait to be a part of all that is soon to come.  I look forward to an amazing new year and the opportunity to craft with new and old friends.

Calendar Class

The class was a success!   We worked hard and completed all 12 calendar pages for the 2014 year.   Carrie actually completed 3 full calendars, now she is ready for Christmas.  Lots of crafting was done and some good stories were told.  Here are some pictures of the happy stampers.

There was so much crafting going on we needed two tables!

Calendar class preview

It's been a while since I have posted anything, but today is exciting so I thought I would share.  I am expecting seven crafty ladies at my house to create out calendar pages for 2014.  Here is a picture of my prep line. We have twelve pages to create, so there is plenty of fun to be had.  Let the holiday crafting season begin!

 

More fun pictures to come after the event.....

New Links

Hello all,
I just wanted to draw your attention to the right hand side of the page.  I have added a couple of very important links.  The first will take you directly to the Fun Stampers Journey Store, where you can browse or purchase any of the items I used to make my projects.  The second link goes to my new MEET UP page.  This is a place where you can find out about upcoming events and classes that I am holding.  Again, feel free to join the group, and/or sign up a class.  Happy Crafting!

New Pojects

It's been too long.  I just got back from an amazing meeting with other Journey coaches.  There was so much inspiration and all kinds of exciting new things in the work.  It made me realize that I need to share some of the things that I have been working on.  So here goes.....

These two are fun projects I was working on that use some beautiful new printed stock and the fun summer set 'Life Saver'.

Then of course there is this cutie pie from the set 'Sunny Days'.  There are so many possibilities, but I am loving the pink and gray combo!

 

Cards

I wanted to add some pictures of the cards that I have created using some fun new stamp sets from Journey Blooms.

This one uses a cute ATS called 1-2-3.

 These next two use the Mother's Day set, and were part of the calendar class that I had during the month of April.  We try to stay at least one month ahead. 

I really like this design, because it is so simple and can be modified for any color scheme or theme you may need.
