Club Projects

Here are the other 2 club projects. The first uses the chalkboard technique and pretty much CASES Beate's card, but of course, mine doesn't look as good. :)

The second is a pattern I found on SCS and uses Summer Picnic DSP, dye-cut Blooms and build a brad. It was a fun, but simple project for my group.

Chili's First Birthday Video

Here is Chili's first year. I am amazed at how small he was and how much he grew. He has been so much fun and we can't imagine not having him around! :)

Fish Cards

Here are some more cards for my husband, he was so excited when I got the fly fishing set, it was actually one of the first ones I bought. I saw it and just had to have it! I have actually used it quite a bit, mostly for stuff for him though. :)

Ingredients:

CS: Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Wild Wasabi and some random fish paper I found at the scrapbook store

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi

Accessories: brads

More Firsts

I had some more firsts this past week and it seems that every week I have at least one big "first" in the stamping world. Man, there is alot going on! My first first, was our first meeting with my upline and I guess sidelines. It was a fun time and we did a small swap, which leads me to my second first. You guessed it, my first SWAP! It was so much fun! I made this card for the swap and I hope everyone liked it. I was fairly intimidated and wanted to do something somewhat easy but super cute! I really liked how it turned out.

Ingredients:

Stamp: Bronc Buster
Paper: Wanted DSP, River Rock and Blue Bayou CS
Ink: Ruby Red and Blue Bayou
Accessories: Brads



This next card is for my third first which is my very first club meeting of my very first club! YEAH!!! I have 6 ladies coming over on Wednesday, all of which are either close friends or family, but they are having a great time stamping and just want some more ideas and a chance to get together. So, we started a club! I am looking forward to having everyone over and we are going to make 3 projects. This one below, one with the chalkboard technique and I am still trying to figure out the third. I'm sure I will update you as soon as I figure that one out! :)

Ingredients:

CS: Whisper White, Basic Gray and Orchid Oppulence
Ink: Lovely Lilac, Orchid Oppulence, Old Olive and Garden Green, whisper white, basic gray

Administrative Professionals Day

Wednesday is administrative Professionals Day and I needed to make some cards for my husband. It was fun coming up with 7 different cards to give to 7 different ladies whom I have never met. Here are 5 of them as I am not quite finished with the others. :)

New Handbag

My friend Genevieve of Genevieve Designs is a fabulous handbag designer and this is my most recent purchase. I have about 10 of her bags and it's always a big decision of which one I am going to use. I am more of a seasonal bag carrier and get one bag for the season and use it regardless of what I am wearing. I just LOVE the colors and funness (is that a word?) of this bag and she really nailed it for me! Check out her site here to find YOUR bag! :) If you don't see the fabric you like send her an email and she'll find something for you! :) This bag is "The Keri"! I have a bag named after me! Isn't that AWESOME! Thanks Gen!!!!!! Happy shopping ladies!
