Hello!  I took a class last night and created the cute mason jar holder.  With the leftover floral stems I made the wreath for my front door.  I had so much fun!!

Cards from my "scraps"

I am having fun putting together past class kits and assembling cards with the "scraps".  I throw extra punched shapes, bits of ribbon, embossed card fronts, etc. into a drawer and then put cards together with the "scraps" when the drawer gets full.  LOL!  I also stash cards from friends so that I can re-use the card fronts onto new cards. 

Happy stamping!

Just a Note Card

Hello!  School has now started for us so things have been a bit busy.  This cute card was sent to me by a demo in my new demo monthly swap.  I am hoping to get some stamping done today and Friday.  I am hoping to carve out one hour a day to work on the drawer of scraps that I have accumulated throughout the year.  When I have extra stamped images, die cuts or punched shapes I throw them in a few drawers to make cards later.  It is now time to work on emptying those drawers!  LOL!  I also throw in cute cards that folks send to me when the cards have writing in them.  I can remount the fronts onto new card bases so that all of that hard work is not thrown away.  (-:

Happy stamping!

Saturday Video Hello December from the Holiday Catalog

Holiday catalogs are here!

I am so excited that these came via UPS today!  The holiday catalog won't start until the beginning of next month but now I have some to give away. 

I have not been good about posting this week and I apologize.  Monday I was not feeling well (did too much on Sunday because long services) and today I have been sewing up a storm.  Friday I am hoping to stamp a bit so that I have cards to post.

Happy stamping!

Saturday Video Forever Evergreen from Holiday Catalog

Are you excited about the new Holiday Catalog?  Here is a video to inspire you and give you a sneak peak of what is in the new catalog.  I have copies ordered and on their way plus some folks who don't live around here will be getting their copy in the mailbox by the end of the month. 

Had a fabulous morning after I went to the YMCA to exercise;  I played in my flower beds and planted a few new ones.  I just love mums and found some pretty ones at Lowes this week.  I had some hostas that needed moved because they were in the full sun so I gave them to family/friends and then had fun filling the holes.

Have a great weekend and happy stamping!

Cards for the United Way

A friend from church had a co-worker involved in an auction for the United Way and so I was asked to participate.  I put together a gift basket of cards to sell at auction.  It was kind of fun looking through the cards and checking out projects from the past!  I tend to make multiples of cards instead of one unique card. 

Happy stamping!

Baby card by Julie

Here is another fabulous card from Julie!  I somehow missed posting this card with the others in her baby card series.

Rag Quilt Purse made from SU goodies

This is a cute bag and I borrowed the idea from the videos posted below by another demo.  I added bamboo handles because I have had them almost as long as I have had the blocks prepped and ready for sewing!  LOL!  I did make a cute pink bag for my daughter years ago and then I got sidetracked.  I will have to think of other "needs" for all of the blocks; maybe the girl cousins all need purses?

Enjoy and happy stamping!
