Card Class through Continuing Education!

2010-11-07T07:03:00.000-05:00

What a great evening and a wonderful group of talented card-makers!!! We had a lot of laughs and everyone was very productive! I hope to see them back in May, when I teach another class! Here are the cards we made...
I also promised to post the website where I get my bulk envelopes - Crystal Clear Envelopes

What a busy weekend!

2010-11-01T07:38:00.000-04:00

On Saturday, I taught my first class at Wallack's Art Store. It was great!!! The eager participants were there with a variety of backgrounds and interests. I have been asked to consider some other teaching opportunities...will be thinking of this over the next little bit. Here are some pictures before the class began.

Next, I headed over to Chapter's, in Kanata. Lowell Green was signing his new book. Love him or hate him, I enjoy listening to him when I am driving between work locations. When I told him I was one of his 'hated' teachers (LOL), he signed my book -- To my favourite teacher...

On to the next class - I was preparing for the rest of the weekend for my card class on Wednesday evening. It is through continuing education. If you have missed this one, I will be doing another with the school board in May.

Can't forget Halloween - Tim Holtz posted these on his blog - I made 2 for our front entrance. I have added a picture of our pumpkin, too.

Finally, I can't end this post without another crazy kitten shot. This is Abe --- enjoying 'a cat's life'!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

2010-09-12T13:04:00.000-04:00

Buffalo Stamps and Stuff - Friday Sketch from September 3, had a great sketch for my new stamp from Sandra Hammer . I coloured it with copics and distressed all the edges.

a little late

2010-09-12T12:51:00.000-04:00

Oh well, I am late posting this one. It is for The Pixie Cottage #34 challenge - based on a sketch. I had it done, just ran out of time to post! I love the new sizes of stamps that Sandra has released at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More. They are so adorable!!!

Creative Scrappers Challenge #120

2010-09-12T12:46:00.000-04:00

Here is another LO of the kittens, based on the sketch at Creative Scrappers. Abe is on top, Boo is below.

As promised..

2010-09-12T12:41:00.002-04:00

Here are some cards and LOs that I have done and want to share.

This first card is based on a Sketch at Scrap~tures for the September 3rd, Finally Friday Challenge.

I used Sunshine Design stamps, with Ranger Pigment ink and each of the fireworks has bling in the center as well as the 4 at the botttom are mounted with the I-Rock.

Denise's Scrap~tures September Challenge is a collage LO of an event of the summer - obviously our big event was the kittens. These pictures were taken just before they turned 3months old.

The paper is the new line from Imaginisce - the colours are perfect for the kittens!! The bookplate is from Tim Holtz and the flowers are prima - a RAK from Kelly!

Ellen's card challenge for September is Monochromatic - I used one of Sandra Hammer's stamps and coloured it with copics. The diamond paper is from Jenni Bowlin and the flower is prima.

Over at Scrapshotz, I am part of the card crew again, for the next few months. The first challenge was posted by needtime2scrap. It was to make a card with added dimension.

All three images are Magnolia and coloured with copics.

The second challenge was posted by Inspired Scrapper - to make a card with folds or simply a back to school card. Here's what I did:

Magnolia Images are coloured with copics, Tim Holtz tissue tape and Just Right stamp.
