We will be celebrating Sue R. birthday on March 26.

I thought I would start the month off with cards using product 

from vendors that will be at the stamp show.

Today I am featuring a card with stamps from Dare 2B Artzy.

This is the card we will be creating.

Well it's that time of year again Balloon Fiesta.

We have 4 October birthdays and will celebrate on 10/31.

Nancy B, Wendy, Lisa & Bette.

Of course I had to do a balloon card, living here for the past 18 years

 and they still take my breath away!

My original impulse was to use that beautiful coral color skies we see.

The more I looked at the card I decided to go with a soft blue sky.

I'm much happier.

I used a technique called recessed panel.

Please bring your class kit

including

scissor

pencil w/eraser

liquid glue (Elmer's)

black edger

fun foam 4'x 5 1/2"

paper trimmer

Bette's tool and white ink pad

(will explain in class and show you "Bette's" tool)

preferred color medium (I used sharpies)

That should do it!

Have a great week,

Today we meet in the community room.

Fall is upon us so I decided to pull out my Ken Oliver Color Bursts,

I love the random background from the Color Bursts.

Each card will be different as the leaves in nature.

Please bring your basic class kit

gold edger

That should do it!

Have a wonderful week,

As the temperatures cool down I'm ready for an Indian summer!

This card was made with a Dare 2B Artzy set called feathers.

I used one of the Hero Arts Ombe ink pads.

The color shift is subtle but I love the warmth it brings.

Gold is so popular right now I thought it would be the perfect finishing touch!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

stamping mat/pad

gold edger

Enjoy this wonderful weather,

By now most of you have probably heard that China Phoenix 2 is closing there doors.

We all would like to thank Nancy and wish her the best in whatever she does.

Thanks for letting us meet at your store for the past 10 years.

This is the first card I taught at CP2 on Montgomery!

November 2004

So I met with Elizabeth at Scraps Galore

 and we will have our very first class there this Thursday 6/4 starting at 10:30.

You do need to pay Beth at the register and sign in for the class

 since I will continue the drop in class policy, instead of pre registering for the class. 

The cost is $4.67 plus tax will be $5 for one card.

The store does not accept credit or debit cards for purchases under $5

 so you will need to pay in cash or make an additional purchase.

Otherwise the class will remain the same.

we will have the two back tables reserved for us ever Thursday.

If we need to start a third we will.

I hope you will join me on this transition and enjoy the journey.

When I told my mom about Nancy closing,

she said when one door closes another one opens.

Here's to new beginnings!

Today's card.

I will continue with a unique shaped card and a masculine card each month.

Any requests please let me know.

This card is die cut with the sizzix step up die,

and label & words from various sizzix sets.

The flowers are from Dare 2B Artzy.

One card I colored with sharpies, the other Tim's distress markers.

I kept it flat because everything gets mailed,

bring pop dots or foam tape if you wish to add dimension.

For today's class you need to bring your basic class kit

including

scissors 

ball point glue pen

tweezers

markers

 (or use my sharpies)

All most done, I know this has been a long post.

It is Evelyn & Sara's birthday

we will discuss a date to celebrate on Thursday,

but you can get your cards made and be ready.

I also need a volunteer to bring the treats.

Enjoy your weekend, stay cool and

see you Thursday!
