Up In The Air!

I finally uploaded a bunch of pictures of my Club Class cards so I will have some pictures to show you over the next few days...provided I have time to post...however, to add to my stressful life, my son Skyler is now sick. He has bronchitis but he seems to be managing well. He got some antibiotics and an inhaler today...now, if I can only convince him that he needs to rest and not play video games all day...he might start to improve quicker! LOL!

My All Occasions Club starts tomorrow (Wednesday) night and I'm very excited. Our first Occasion theme is Spring! I thought we all could use some positive thinking in our card making...so all the cards are very 'Spring' oriented including the card below...it uses the stamp set 'Up In The Air' which is the Hostess Set from the Occasions Mini (no pun intended there)...I LOVE this little stamp set! I think it is 'so sweet'...no pun again...and the colours I used were Lucky Limeaide and Pool Party...very bright and fresh together!

The DSP is from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, Everyday Enchantment, so pretty and of course the Ruffled Pool Party ribbon too! Hope you like this Spring card!

Thanks for stopping in! Have a great day! Lynda

Last Call...

Apothecary with Labels Framelit Dies

Sorry I have been absent from my blog...Life is crazy...lots of personal stuff going on...my mother in critical condition in hospital but improving, step-mother receiving her second to last chemotherapy treatment (lots of worry there), family sick with bad colds (so we can't visit anyone), and more...but I'll stop there. When I get home from work I'm usually too tired to do much of anything...sadly even stamping is too much work. I have slept most of the weekend and I was so hoping for a snow day last Friday...to get caught up on life - on my 8th load of laundry today - and on my stamping...but that didn't happen. So if I don't post everyday, I'm sorry but my life and family are my first priority right now...however I do appreciate you stopping by!

At Leadership I received a few special gifts from some of my special Stamping Friends. This was an awesome gift I received from my Canadian friend Genevieve Ko. I made a card set like this once before but it was great to see this done again and 'G's cards were beautiful!

The card portfolio is made from an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of card stock scored at 3" and 5 1/2"

cut the centre with a angle and punch 4 holes to thread the ribbon through. Secure the sides of the portfolio with sticky strip.

Genevieve's beautiful card using the Apothecary stamp set in Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso all on a white card stock base. Lovely gift 'G'...thanks so much!!

Join my team of Designer Stamp Purrs today and receive a bonus gift...Fresh Vintage stamp set, Enchantment DSP, brads and ribbon - see my Classes and workshop page on the right for FULL DETAILS!

Bordering on Romance

Well this weekend we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and the Twins 12th Birthday by going away to Niagara Falls and an indoor water park...it wasn't quite the 'romantic' weekend a wedding anniversary should be especially in Niagara Falls but it was fun and chaotic! There was a lot of other families there seeing as it was the Canadian Family Day holiday weekend...and I never thought it could be that busy in all my life!!! OMG, it was crazy busy but the kids really enjoyed themselves and it was nice to get away.

So here is the card my watercolour class made tonight...we tried something different tonight and used Blender Pens and markers on the image which was stamped in stazon. The colours I used were Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeaide.

 

I have also used the new Framelit Dies and the new Sweet Shop DSP, plus the Ribbon and Brads (from the Sale-a-bration catalogue) that you can get for free with a $60 order!

Well I'm exhausted...off to bed! Thanks for stopping in! Lynda

Mixed Bunch with Thanks!

Thanks for all of the kind Birthday and Anniversary wishes. Yes Wayne and I celebrate our 22nd wedding Anniversary on Friday February 17th...wow it's seems so long, 22 years! I use to think old people were married that long...LOL...seriously! But I don't feel old...;)

So here's a card we made at the Leadership Make and Take session...it's a great card because it's easy and fun to make! It introduces 2 punches...the scallop punch (and a neat way to use it too) and the NEW Blossom punch, the New Mixed Bunch stamp set, and the New Die Cut Blossoms set which is awesome! I have used those flowers on everything! To make cards, tags, accessories - they are so easy to just pop out and add to anything to finish off a project! This card is also perfect for demonstrating at Parties too!

So we have an extremely busy weekend! Friday night Skyler has a hockey game, Saturday the twins are off to Toronto with their grandparents for their Birthday treat, while we do errands, then family over Saturday night for Birthday cake...Sunday hockey in the morning then off to Niagara Falls for the Indoor Waterpark for 2 days :-0 it's going to be so much fun...the kids are very excited!! I will need a weekend off to recuperate!

Happy Birthday to My Twins!

February 16th is Skyler (my son) and Kendall's (my daughter) 12th Birthday! I can't believe they are 12 already! So I had to make them their cards which was fun getting to be creative and use different accessories...

Here is Kendall's card...her favourite colour is purple so I used Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant with Old Olive in the glitter and ribbon...

Here is Skyler's card...his favourite colour is red (funny my two favourite colours are red and purple - seriously!) and I thought about using my Hockey stamp set on his card but it just didn't fit in...I used Chery Cobbler and Marina Mist with Black on his card...

So what do you think? Which one do you like? I couldn't decide...I am really pleased with both...hope they like them.

This year we decided not to buy them anything (maybe because they have everything!) and instead take them away and do something fun...so we are going to the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark in Niagara Falls, Ontario this weekend. We have been to Great Wolf Lodge several times but never to Fallsview Waterpark...so it will be fun to try something new...is also our wedding Anniversary this Friday so lots to celebrate...

Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!  Lynda

more fun projects using the Die Cuts Blossoms

Just a quick post as I was up all night last night and I am dead on my feet...my mother is in the hospital with respiratory failure and I expected the phone to ring anytime last night so I didn't sleep a wink...

Here's my new Travel Mug design using Flirtatious DSP and the Die Cut Blossoms...so much fun, plus I added my personal initial 'L'...I also used my favourite colour..purple! I stamped motivational greetings from the stamp set 'Word Play' to add some fun too!

These Travel mugs are a great project for a Technique class. You can change up the inside design as often as you wish. Remember when I had the Christmas DSP inside? You can find these mugs at any local craft store.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Lynda

 

 

 

Simply Sent Create and Keep

I finally got to work on this card kit tonight and really enjoyed making the cards up! It's in the New Occasions Mini and comes with it's own card box, dividers, envelopes and 10 cards to decorate with these awesome stickers - also included. I added some ribbon, brads jewels and dimensionals to make the set more complete! The set is a great deal and a wonderful idea to give as a gift either complete or for a friend as a kit who is thinking about starting out in card making, as it is a fun, easy way to make your own cards!

Here are the cards finished by myself...and if you are interested in attending a class to make this kit send me an email at [email protected]. The class is Wednesday March 7th at 7pm and the cost is $23 and that includes all the extra ribbon, brads and jewels used on all the 10 cards! RSVP by Wednesday February 29th at 6pm!! Class is limited to 8 people! It's a great kit and a lot of fun! Hope to see you here!

Thanks for stopping by today! Lynda
