Thanks So Much again

I saw this card on a blog a while back and absolutely loved it's simplicity.  Sorry I can't remember which blog, but will definitely add it when I find it.  If you know, please tell.  

I used Tempting Turquoise and sponged with Taken with Teal to add a little dimension to the butterflies, along with the pearls.  Did you notice there is no glitter?  LOL

 See, pretty simple and ..........pretty.  Think I will do some more of these and find the blog where I first saw them.  It's gonna bug me now if I don't.

Have a great day and be creative :)

Wonderful Mother

Sorry for the missed days - I was busy prepping for my wonderful craft fair and so glad it is over. 

Of all the days to be cold and windy after all our beautiful hot sunshiney days, why "my" day???  Oh well, its over and time to start getting ready for the May Days on May long weekend.  Hopefully it will be hot and sunny.

I made this next project for a class I'm doing.  It may not be exactly like this one, just a few embellishment changes,  but pretty close.  The class is for kids to craft and make this and a matching card for mom.  I think mom would love this and to be made by their daughter or son, even more special.

Like I said, some of the embellishements may change.  Thinking of making our own flowers instead, but not sure yet.  These ones are from a craft store.  I was trying to be quick for the craft show. 

I love the quote/poem in this one too.

I have some orders to fill from the craft fair.  I got 2 orders from the little pink/kiwi dress I showed you here and 8 of another outfit that I will be posting tomorrow.  Then there is also Mothers' Day cards to fill too and 3 possible orders for my Hawaiian tote (different fabrics of course).  No rest for the wicked :)

Hope to see you here tomorrow. 

Hugs

OSW

What a busy weekend! It went way tooo fast.  Between getting ready for the craft fair, the kids, soccer, and shopping, that took up my whole weekend and I don't feel like I accomplished a whole lot.  Can't wait til next weekend.  Bustin' my butt for the next couple of weeks now:)  I got tons of projects cut out and ready to sew up. 
I found this template to use for a OSW (one sheet wonder) class.  The gals have been waiting for this class so I had to get my version completed this weekend.  Takes a bit of time when your mojo isn't 100%.  Plus the fact, that I don't like my cards too plain so I had to add a little bit more to each card.  Overall, I think it turned out great.  Some of the cards I like more than others, but it makes a beautiful set of boxed cards for a gift or better yet, Mothers' Day.

I used the Cottage Wall designer paper from Stampin' Up!.  Most of the embellishments are also from SU.  I even pulled out some punches I haven't used in a while and look at the bottom left corner. I used one of my Pretties flowers and the leaves are from the Bird punch in the Occasions mini. I used various sentiments including the new ones from the Occasion mini.  Love that font!  The colors are Orchid Opulence, Old Olive, Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.

If you want to see what colors SU will be retiring and all the new color families, there is a link for each on my sidebar.  And the new In Colors will be around for 2 years rather than just the one year as in the past.  Awesome Stampin' Up!  The new Summer mini is going to be coming out May 1st, so if you want a copy, shoot me an email and let me know.  Don't forget the Occasions mini is done at the end of this month.  You can still get some of the new punches (the bird punch) and the awesome designer papers.  I love the Sweet Pea collection.

Be sure to check back tomorrow. I have a Mothers' Day gift that I am prepping for a class for kids.  Kids can come and make this beautiful Mom's day gift and a matching card.  Lots of fun:)

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine!!  It was beautiful here today and promises to get warmer - up in the 20's by the end of the week (not counting tomorrow cause it's raining all day).

Hugs to you all

Just for You

So I had my first stamp class on Thursday night.  First one since before Christmas.  It was so much fun getting together with the girls again.  It seems like forever.  We did a lot of catching up and had a lot of fun stamping.  We are all game into keeping it going since they were having withdrawls they said. 

I will be adding some classes tomorrow to April's schedule since Mother's day is coming up in May.  A special class will also be added for young stampers to join in and make a Mothers' day gift and matching card so watch for that too.

This is one of the cards we did.  Using the ornament punch, we turned it into a vase by cutting the bottom point off.  Using also my favorite Sizzlits butterflies with some glitter.  I love how this one turned out.  The colors are Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Old Olive.

Here is a close up of the butterflies.  Aren't they a perfect touch for this card? 

Don't forget the Occasions mini is still available until the end of the month. Some new promotions are also going on and you can find those on my sidebar. You don't want to miss them - Clearance Rack is only while supplies last too!

Have a great day!!!!
