TIm Holtz

 Mario is the man.  Just loved him.

 Tim leading us into the first class.

 Class one complete!  What an amazing artist, designer, and teacher.  If

you ever have the opportunity take his classes!  You won't 

be disappointed.

 Great day, great friend, great class.  

I am blessed.

Pics to come of my projects!

They turned out AMAZING!

Hugs my friends!

Fall is coming!

Love this card and how it turned out.

Maybe because it's fall themed and I'm ready for some

cool weather, some pumpkin pie, and some hot apple cider!

Have a great day everyone!

Blessings to All!

Butterfly Tray

Made this fun Butterfly themed tray with my friend Jane.

We had a good time laughing at ourselves and mistakes we made.

It was a really fun afternoon...and every time I look at the tray I will 

remember the fun, and the laughs.

Friends make life fun!

Sewing Projects

I've been a little MIA but I'm still alive and well...

just busy.  It's Football season and I have two playing

this season.  They are loving it...and keeping me busy.

My wonderful husband and boys got me a new sewing machine for my birthday.

So I've been busy playing and creating a few fun things for friends.

The bags hold cards.  We are always doing shoe-box-swaps and stamp-a-stacks around here

so this way we have bags to hold our completed cards.  The next picture is scissor pockets.

Made from the SU petal cone die.  So easy and adorable.

Have a great day everyone!

Serene Silhouettes

Serene Silhouettes 

Sympathy Card

My least favorite card to make...but

better to have them on hand, than to create one

when you need them.

I used SU's Serene Silhouettes and Watercolor Trio stamp sets.

All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Hope you all are staying cool.

It's a hot day in MD.

Please keep those affected by the wild fires

in your thoughts and prayers.

Birthday Gift

Gift Set

I made this gift set for my friend Gloria.

I'm part of a stamping group

"Stampers of Meade"

and every summer we have a 

Birthday bash.  I got to spoil Gloria this year.

I made this little bag, great organizer tote for inside

a larger tote.  It's not an original I was inspired by pinterest again.

I made this one a little different to work for the purpose I wanted it for.

It really hold lots of tools.  I was very happy with how this turned out.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Thanks for stopping by.

World Treasures

Stamping the day away.

I'll admit I wasn't sure about the new SU ink pads...but

after spending the day playing.  I really do like them.

They kinda look blotchy when I first stamped with them

but as the ink dries it smoothes out and really looks

amazing.  They almost remind me of stamping with

craft inks.  If you haven't tried them yet...you should.

Loved this set from the new SU catalog.

Just wanted to play with it.  This is the first 

card I created with it.  It's a fun set.

Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks for stopping by.
