Happy Thanksgiving to all, 

may you be surrounded with love.

Just a reminder there will be no class this Tuesday.

Here's the card we will be doing on Tuesday December 2,

We will be using the Stamp Doctors pop a top. (thanks Bette!)

This is a very versatile die and we will be creating with it again.

I also pulled out a package of Mr. Holtz's Kraft Glassine paper.

When it first hit the market this was a must have, but until today I hadn't used it.

It reminds me of a waxed brown bag. Very cool stuff.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

brown edger 

ballpoint glue pen

blender with felt for alcohol inks

(I used gold & Terra Cotta)

that should do it, stay warm and see you soon!

PS just and update about our holiday get together.

We will meet at Whole Hog Cafe on Montgomery after class on 12/16.

We should get there approximately noon-ish

(for those who can't make it to class)

We will celebrate Prissy & Liane birthdays.

We will have a holiday card exchange, give one get one.

Cake will be supplied by David.

Will start taking a head count next week so we can let them

 know how many people will be there.

10/21/2014 class @CP2

Last week I spent my days preparing for classes or teaching.

So I came home Saturday itching to get inky.

I knew I wanted to use the Stampendous stamps and dies

I bought at Nancy's a while ago.

I love the pen pattern series, looks like zentangle,

which I have to be very zen to do zentangle

 otherwise it just stress me out.

So I sat at my desk pondering if I should be a purist

 and create in black and white or do I add color.

Well the autumn colors have been calling my name,

so I went with color.

The original card I stamped in black, 

on the second one I switched to sepia, 

gives it a little softer feel.

So sepia it is!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

gold paint pen

if you own

wild honey ink pad

fired brick ink pad

rusty hinge ink pad

plus ink blenders for the 3 colors.

If you have other autumn color distress ink and

 would like to use those, feel free to bring them to class.

That should do it, see you on Tuesday.

Art Impressions and Elizabeth Craft Designs

This weekend is my Aunt's 95th birthday 

so I wanted to make a special card.

She has a great sense of humor and

 I knew she would love any of the Art Impression stamps.

Here's what I did.

I used leftover packaging to have the sentiment floating above her head.

Unfortunately I forgot to scan the front.

I used a word bubble and stamped the sentiment,

Okay, light the candles!

and used printed paper with balloons on it.

Thought I would share.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Susan *Ü*

10/14/2014 class @CP2

Here we go, love these flip it cards!

This one has a extended back 

so you don't see the sentiment until you open the card.

Used lots of scrapbook paper on this one,

how easy is that!

Please bring your basic class kit

including a black edger

Enjoy your day,

see you Tuesday,

Good morning all,

today we will be using a newly acquired stamp from Art Impressions.

I just thought this dog flying by was too cute.

Kept it fairly simple and masculine,

We will be doing a bit of masking.

I needed a card for my son's roommate.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black edger

watercolor pencils or preferred medium

paint brush or water brush

I used broken china distress ink and a blending tool

for the sky/background.

Just a reminder we will be celebrating

 Bette's birthday on October 7th.

It is Nancy Bruce's birthday but she hasn't been in class

 due to recent surgery, her mailing address

 is on the class list if you would like to send her a card.

Thanks, have a wonderful week and see y'all on Tuesday!
