A Favorite Christmas Card

Hello!

I have done a couple of Christmas card classes recently and have heard lots of positive comments about the cards!

This one used the sanded background stamp in VersaMark ink to add a bit of texture to the card front. The word "joy" is from the great Stampin' Up! exclusive die Join in the Cheer. The other words on the die are peace, love, and cheer. It is a long strip so it could be used as a scrap book title. I only put paper for the words I wanted so as not to wast paper. I used Many Merry Messages to add the Season's Greetings in Always Artichoke ink.

Enjoy!!

Super Saturday

We have a busy weekend planned with Rich home to help with moving the computers to their new locations. We were able to get a new computer through a school district employee purchase program. It was tima as our old computer was running very slow!!

Last night I did a 10 card class with some of my good stamping friends. What a great time we had!! There were 11 ladies there making cards and nibbling on the fantastic treats that Marlene made for us. Some of the cards used retired stamp sets that some of the ladies had and wanted new ideas to use with them. Others used sets from the current catalog.

Loads of Love has been a favorite set of mine for a long time. I just love how many different things you can put in the back of the truck!! Last night somepeople used the gifts and others used the tree. The idea for this one came right from a past Idea Book and Catalog. I had to change the colors slightly as it used retired in colors.

I do need to finish getting ready for the class Lisa and I are doing tomorrow in Hinsdale. I will post other pictures from that class as well very soon.

Have a sunshiney day!

Right now I have to go get ready for school.



Okay one quick picture of the last of the punch cards we did. this one used the Three Blossoms Punch and we made the wreath with the little flowers adhered to a "doughnut" made of scrap paper to keep it round. It was cute and fun to make.


See you again soon!
