Class Projects

I will be teaching a class this month and these are the cards we'll be creating:  a Father's Day shirt shaped card, a general pinwheel card and a birthday waterfall card.  If you're in the Sugar Land area and are interested in taking the class, let me know and I'll send you the details. 

 
 

Summer Time Cards

I've been working on a few summer-time cards.  Someone asked me for a card to send their child while away at camp and I came up with a popsicle-shaped card and a S'more roasting porcupine.  I used lots of stickles on the fire to make it look more realistic.



This next set of cards is for Father's Day.  I made two different styles because I was not impressd with the first style. 


 

A splash of color

My friend Fran's husband is amazing!! He makes all kinds of cool things with wood and I finally askd him to make me an ATG stand.  Usually he stains them, but I wanted to paint mine, so he made it plain.  This past weekend I scored some hot pink paint and had a ball! I painted the stand pink and then decided to paint my Cricut Condo.  It's basically a shelf my hubby made but it sounds much swankier calling it a Condo.  Anyway, I still need to make a vinyl shoe for the ends, but it's great for now.  I love how my craft room is getting some color!!  What do yall think?

Summer Banner

If you've read the previous post, you know last week I held a workshop devoted to care package items for college kids.  One of the projects was a "Welcome Home" banner.  I loved how it turned out, but don't have anyone to welcome home, so I made one for myself without the words and some (ok, a lot of) bling.  I added Stickles around the edges of the panels, on most of the images and then added liquid pearls on the sand dollar.  I even added glossy accents to the sunglasses.  Yesterday my favorite panel was the sand dollar, but today I'm liking the turtle the best.  I really like how it turned out and have it proudly hanging on my mantle.  Here are some pictures:

College Care Package Workshop

Oh my, I can't believe it's been over a month since my last posting.  I have just been so busy!  Anyway, today I co-hosted a College Care Package Workshop for 10 ladies.  The projects I presented were a pizza box that held a Pizza Hut gift card from the TBBM cartridge, a wrapper for a bag of microwave popcorn, a wrapper for a king size candy bar, a pencil made from Rollo candy, a powdered drink  pouch that hung over a water bottle, a paper frame for a 4x6 picture and a "welcome home" banner.  I love how everything turned out, especially the banner.  Here are some pictures:

Girlie card

I was given a pack of CM paper and asked to make a girlie card.  The paper is cute, but I fell in love with the stickers so I made a waterfall card to show off as many of them as possible.  I even made a matching gift tag!

Here is the inside with yet another sticker:

I just love those stickers, so cute!!  Here is the matching gift tag:

Easter Side Step Card

I just learned how to make step, side step and center step cards.  They are easier than I anticipated.  As usual, the hardest part for me was not making the card, rather deciding how to decorate!  Here is my take on the side step card. I think the "Happy" gets lost so I may change out the paper.
