Stamp a Stack

For those in the Salt Lake Valley, I am doing a card class on Saturday, April 24th at 9am.

 5 cards for 8$

10 cards for 15$ 

20 cards for 20$  

25 cards for 25$

(prices include envelopes)

You may choose which cards you want to make from below.

Cards must be done in quantities of two's or five's (it's a huge hassle to do 5 cards one of each design). For example five wedding cards, or if you want to make 10 cards, you can do two of each design. With the exception of the baby card. You may do 2 and 3, or 1 and 4.

If you are interested, please email no later than April 19th, pre-payment is preferred but not required.

With the 'Happy Birthday' and 'Much Appreciated' cards, I will bring several stamps with different sentiments if you prefer something else (such as you like strawberry card, but would rather it be for a birthday, or 'thinking of you').

Simple Cards

I cased this from someone else (and I'm sorry, I don't remember who!), and I loved the beautiful simplicity of it! It's so refreshing! So I did a few different cards with the same simple feel.

Strawberries Tray

This little project was cheap and took so little time. I got the tray on clearance at Wal Mart (but they have them at Robert's and Joann's too) for 2$. The image is from a great blog that has free vintage images. I painted the tray, just a couple of layers so It didn't take too long to dry, then sanded all the edges with a medium coarse sand paper. Then Mod-podged the image that I printed. So cheap and so quick! I love it. It's going into my bedroom!

temporary hiatus

We moved a couple weeks ago, it was very sudden, and we don't have internet at our new place for another week. I've been busy with crafts and my new Big Shot! Check back in a week!

Classifieds

I love looking at the classifieds. Full of stuff I don't need, but nevertheless, FUN stuff! Here's some treasures I found today:

These would be so fun with a coat of white paint and a distressed finish!

And i LOVE this! Maybe I should call on this one myself...

Scrapbooking

Sorry for the lack of posts! My baby was sick all week last week, and this week we're getting hardwood floors in. I haven't been doing much crafting, but I have been getting caught up on my scrapbook. I've done about 20 pages the last couple of weeks. I'm still a year and a half behind! I'm just getting to my brother's wedding from August 2007! I was always on top of my scrapbook, waiting for events and pictures to put in, then once I had my kids, that all went down the drain! I got close to catching up last year when I was pregnant. I couldn't sleep at night so I'd stay up and scrapbook! I have many ideas for crafts brewing up in my brain, hopefully I'll get some time soon to get to them and share all the fun!
