Mass Production #2

I made twelve of this card, and my Christmas cards for the year are complete.

The image is from an old rubber stamp set from Recollections. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. They are both embossed with gold embossing powder. The image panel is mounted on foam squares.

It feels great to have the cards done. I have the labels ready to print, also, but want to make sure there are no changes in the next month and a half.

I am busy going through stuff in the cedar chest and some old photos of ours. We are planning a 50th anniversary party for us (well, mostly our kids are doing the planning) and it's only three and a half weeks away. That time will go so fast! Then I have a whole list of things to get done that are not short projects. I'm still hoping to get some more cards done from my card class, but they will wait.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Mass Production #1

Well, I have my Christmas cards for this year finished - inside and out!! Yippee! I was getting a bit stressed and really wanted them done, so I made twenty of this card. I then did twelve of another that I will share tomorrow. That, along with the ones that were finished, makes 79. Whew.

Not much explanation needed. The ornament stamp is from Hampton Art. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. I cut the rectangles out with dies and the panel is mounted on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Classes - Scrapbook.Com

My last batch of SCT class cards. These are from Scrapbook.com. 

I still have many company's products to use, but I have too much going on right now to work on them. They will be a treat for later - much later! My Christmas cards and my calendars are calling me, along with many other things!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Classes - LDRS Creative

More SCT Class cards - these are LDRS Creative. The first one is very different from the class card, but the second two are pretty much like the class cards. (The first one was to be watercolored and then use a black Copic marker to color the entire background. I instead painted with metallic paints and splattered some gold over everything.)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Classes - Spellbinders

These cards are from the SCT classes and from Spellbinders. I followed the instructions very, very closely. Isn't that scissors cool??

Sorry you can't see the sparkly centers in the flowers.

SCT Classes - Taylored Epressions

These cards are from my Crop and Create Delivered card class from Scrapbook and Cards Today (SCT). I am not even half done with the classes, but I may not get to them until after Christmas!! For now, I will share eventually what I have finished.

These cards are from Taylored Expressions. The sentiments were done at the same time, using four stencils. Kind of cool. I pretty much followed the instructions for the cards exactly. The last card is a shaker card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Happy 16th Birthday, Andrew!

Our oldest grandchild turned 16 yesterday!! I can hardly believe it! He got his driver's license yesterday, too.

Here is the card I made for him. I used a layout that I learned in my card class. I hope to post some of those cards soon. Not much to say about the card other than that. The sentiment is die-cut. The photo is not matted - it's open around it, using a piece of acetate to hold it in place.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

October Calendar Page

Oops, I almost forgot to do my calendar page post for today!! I can't believe it's October, and our weather certainly doesn't say October!! At any rate, here is my calendar page for the month. It's very "retro" as the stamp and the paper are very, very ancient. The stamp is a wood-mounted one from the dollar bin at Michael's (remember those?) and the paper is also from Recollections. The image is just very simply colored with Copic markers.

I am still working on my card class cards, but I guess I can start sharing them, since the class is over. I think there were over sixteen classes and I'm not quite half done. Hopefully soon I will take some pictures and post them on my blog. I should share more vacation photos, too. So much to do, so little time. And it's still golf weather!
