Kind and Caring Thoughts

One of the New stamp sets from the New Occasions Mini is 'Kind and Caring Thoughts' and is a very versatile set. Here I have used the set as a Sympathy card with a little bling by using the New Baja Breeze Glass Glitter and some Dazzling Diamonds. This is one of the cards from my Stamp and Stack this Friday March 4th at 7pm. I still has some room if you are interested in attending...email me at lynda@lyndascards.com.

I am working on my Spring Newsletter (a little late but...better than not at all) and hope to have it out today electronically to my email group! Yippee! If you are not on my email group and would like a copy, email me and I would be happy to send you one! I have some exciting up coming classes this Spring so check it out!! Have a great day!!  Lynda

 

Elements of Style with watercolour

I just love the stamp set 'Elements of Style' and the floral stamp is great to water-colour which is what my Water-colour Club did with this card. Here I used markers then blended them in with my aqua painter. I used Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink markers for the flowers and Old Olive and Pear Pizazz for the leaves. We also used the New Tulip Embossing Folder on the card's background. Hope you like the look!

We have a busy weekend of hockey (Skyler has 2 games and a practice and Wayne has a game), Birthday Parties and running Lyndsay to and from work...ughh! Nobody told me being a parent meant being a part-time Taxi driver too!!! LOL! Have a great weekend everyone and remember my next Club session is starting next week/month so if interested check out my 'Classes and Workshops' section on the right column! Lynda

Funky Hair

Just wanted to say that I had a great time at Lynda's downline meeting the other night and it's always nice to get together with the other girls to learn new techniques, chit chat and just have a great time getting out.  Thanks Lynda.

I have been playing with MDS and with the help of Heather Summers on-line MDS class having been learning new things about it, unfortunately I just haven't had a lot of time to really get into it and make lots of scrapbooking pages like I want to.  My MDS scrapbook page today is of my daughter Jalen and her funky hairdo after we took her braids out.  She was hamming it up for the camera and I must have taken about 20 different pictures of her.  Have a great day everyone!   Tammy 

 
 

 

 

Spring Time Vintage Fabric

Well we finally had our Downline Team meeting last night as our original date was postponed due to the snowstorm a few weeks ago. So I can finally show you the gifts I made for my Team...I was so excited about them! It was demonstrated at the Leadership Conference and I couldn't wait to make them up.

They are Business Card Holders made from the Springtime Vintage Fabric. The fabric size is 5" x 9" sewn all away around except leave a small opening to turn it inside out. Then top stitch around again to give it that finished look. Add a matching button, some velcro underneath to keep it closed and it's that simple!

I  gave out awards last night too! They were to my demonstrators who had passed years of service...Rose V (2 years), Tammy F (2 years), to Linda B for her promotion to Sr. Associate and the Most Initiative Award went to Cathy B, who signed up in October as a new demonstrator and was planning her first class within weeks after signing up! Way to go team! Love you all!

We had a great night of trying out new products, going over MDS questions, swapping cards, eating, talking about our team's new philosophy and of course laughing and talking! What more could you ask for? It was a great night and I am blessed to have some great ladies!! If you would like to be a part of this fun, email me to find out how. This is a great time to join while the starter kit is on sale at 15% off until March 31st only!

Here's to a great Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!!  Lynda

Family Day

Did you have a good long weekend?  I hope so.  After shovelling some snow in the morning,  took the kids and a friend to King's Forest for some tobogganing and boy was it cold.  We were probably only out there for less than an hour but had fun.  I took my camera and ended up getting some great pics of the kids but haven't had a chance to put them on an MDS page as of yet but can't wait to get to it.  So I will show you a picture of Desmond and Jalen in action.  Hope everyone has a great week.  Tammy

 

 

 

Water-colour hydrangea

Well it was, as I mentioned our last Water-colour class on Tuesday night and it was so much fun! It was sad to see this group of ladies go...they are so much fun and we laughed so much on Tuesday night that my stomach was sore after they left! I haven't laughed that much in a long time! So funny!!

We made 3 cards and I let them use any of the water-colour materials they wanted to use for each of the cards. Through the course of the classes we tried each of the Stampin' Up! watercolour products at each class - water-colour crayons, water-colour pencil crayons, classic ink re-fillers, markers, and craft ink re-fillers...teaching them a technique with each of the products. With this card below we used the craft ink re-fillers in just a very small amount using our aqua painters. I also tied on a Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon and gathered it to make a different bow.

If you are interested in joining any of my classes and live within the Hamilton, ON area, check out my Classes and Workshop page (right column) for more information. Next session is starting the month of March!! Some classes are almost full!! So don't wait!

Here is a photo of the twins and their cake...

Thanks for stopping in!!   Have a great Saturday!! Lynda

Window Panes

First of all, thanks to everyone who sent me their Best Wishes for our Anniversary yesterday. It was very sweet of you all. We are headed out to dinner tonight with the twins and my parents for a combined Birthday/Anniversary dinner but I hope Wayne and I will get out tomorrow for a dinner at my favourite place, Chicago Pizza for some Gnocchi and wine!!

Today's card was one my Stamper's Club made at their last class using many items from the New Occasions Mini - the 'Beveled Windowpanes, the Baja Breeze binding ribbon (which is gathered), Spring Time Vintage DSP, and 'You're a Gem' stamp set. The card is a case from Dawn Griffith's Blog who is a fellow Demonstrator. Love her site! We also used white craft ink with the Love letterpress die through the Big Shot. Love this card!!

Also just want to mention that I have started a Face Book page for Lynda's Cards and if you are a member of Face Book, please check it out. The link is down on the left column here. 'Like' my page and 'share' it with your friends - Please! Thanks and enjoy this lovely long weekend!!!  Lynda

Take a Spin

I used this new stamp set, 'Take a Spin' for the cards I made the Twins for their Birthday. I knew they would love them as they kept playing with them all night long! They kept flicking the spinner hands to see where the hands would land on the card...and would make ME do what it said on the card...'Mom, sing Happy Birthday now' or 'Play games now'...great idea Stampin' Up! Lol!! This is Skyler's card...not sure where Kendall's cards ended up...but this is a really fun set and I can see it will get a lot of use in the future for Birthdays, and many other occasions too as there are other sentiments on the other stamps!!

The twins had a good day and really enjoyed their gifts...we celebrate with the immediate family tomorrow with a dinner out and cake afterwards at home.

However, today is my 21st wedding Anniversary...wow 21 years!! That's amazing to me! Not many people these days make it to 21 years or beyond. So I thought I share a special photo, if you promise not to laugh...my wedding photo...wow do we ever look young...especially Wayne (no grey hair!). Happy Anniversary Wayne! Love you!  Lynda

February 17th 1990...yes it was the end of the 80's...need I say more!

Have a great day everyone!

 

MDS page

Hope your having a good week so far.  Well we are almost there to the long weekend but I see there are calling for snow on Family Day!  What do you mean I may have to shovel snow on Family day..... well at least the kids enjoy playing and helping shovel so if it snows I'll just send them out to do the work.  Hopefully, they are wrong and we won't get anymore snow and the weather will be beautiful and the sun will be shinning.

Well, I've been working on My Digital Studio for the last few nights and today I'm going to post a 12 x 12 page that I did of the kids on our Snow Day that we had at the beginning of Feb.  I'm finding it a bit difficult as it's just not the same with having your Stampin Up products on hand and being able to do this and that with it.  I guess I just need to get use to the program and know what MDS products I have and what are available and I'm sure I will be able to get some great photo albums done.

Have a great day!   Tammy
