Card Class

Tomorrow morning I'm teaching a card making class.

These are the two cards we will be making.

I have done this card about 10 times in different colors!

I love it! We'll have fun tomorrow!

Too cute!

My mom found these adorable cupcakes at Tai Pan Trading! They are so cute! They are ceramic, and the tops come off. I have no idea what their practical function is, but they are just so much fun!  I love seeing all the fun things like this that my mom get!

Card

With my card making lately, I can't seem to get away from green and purple.  This is purple is 'Rich Razzleberry' I love the color, but It's been tricky for me to get it to work, but I love it here!

Felted Flowers

My mother-in-law has been making the cutest felted flowers, now she has a pattern for sale! It's is amazing! Go to her blog here to see felted flowers and a link to buy her pattern!

Let It Snow!

This was a Christmas gift for my mom. I prefer to frame the embroidery as opposed to a pillow.  Maybe because I like to give the frames a make over! I used a font and traced my image onto muslin. I have so  many embroidery projects I haven't shared. I was making them for each of my cousin's children, then it became a little daunting, so I haven't done any for almost 3 years now, and would have 6 to do! I know only six, but I don't have enough follow through I guess. One day I will do them, but in light of one of my resolutions, I need to finish one project before I start the next, and I have 3 projects I'm in the middle of that I started the new year with! So maybe I can make that a goal for this year, is to get caught up on those, but in due time of course!

Happy Heart Cards

I have never been a fan of Valentines Day, so I have no Valentine stamps, but I do have this phrase from an old 'Sale-a-bration' set, and it's perfect, because it's versatile, and not limited to February 14th. But I am teaching a card class in a week, so I'm figuring out what I want to teach. I totally cased this idea, but don't remember what  blog, however I simplified it. It's an easy one to use, and I've been playing around with lots of different striped paper, and punching out hearts.

I think I like this one even better because the colors are just like the little conversation hearts. But the paper is so old that I wouldn't be able to find it for us to make more for the class. It was fun to make though. Enjoy!
