Having a Great Weekend!

Wow is it HOT today! I spent some time outside with my grandson & my bulldog Lucy as they played in the water, I even stuck my feet in for a bit. 😊 
I also got to spent a little time at my desk making a few custom orders. I am patiently waiting for my Stampin' UP order so I can finish this one with the Baby First Dies.
I am really enjoyed creating these for new mommies so they can hang them in the nursery. This Retro Fresh paper is retired but works perfect with the colors in The nursery. 
I will have More projects tomorrow to share!

More Clean & Simple Cards For My Beginners

Happy Friday! It is going to be extremely HOT this weekend, and we don't have our pool anymore so I guess I will be sharing with my Little Lucy, not very big but it will work. 

I am working on finishing my last few cards for my beginners class I hold each month. I really enjoy getting together with these ladies and sharing my love for crafting and showing them anyone one can do it. This is my favorite class because I get to watch them grow and move up to my other classes so I am always looking for Newbies :) (wink,wink, contact me to join in the fun)

I created today's card using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch, I could not decide which stamp set to use at first since I only like to use one or two sets for the class so I can show the many ways it can be used. I have not used Geometrical very much so I thought it was time, this is what I came up with.
Supplies Used: 
CS: Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White
Ink: Night of Navy, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie

Clean & Simple Fab Friday

Happy Thursday almost Friday! It has been a wonderful week, the weather is amazing I get to leave for Stampin' UP Convention in 5 days, I am so excited.

In my last post I talk about not having any of the current designer series paper on hand and how tough it is for me to come up with a card so I spent way too much time on Pinterest as usual and found a few great sketches that I like and went to work. Today card is inspired from Fab Friday 45 & also saw the Pals Paper Arts color challenge. I know that I did not use Daffodil Delight but I wanted to use the Chevron Ribbon so I changed it up and used Crushed Curry. I will be making this card in my beginners class on the 3rd Thursday of the month, we will be focusing on Manly cards this month.
Supplies Used:
CS: Night of Navy, Whisper White & Crushed Curry
Ink: Night of Navy

Today I have am finishing up my swaps for convention, I can't believe it is in 2 weeks, I am so excited, this will be my first one! I decided to make 100 swap cards so I wanted it to be a clean and simple design that would be easy to duplicate, many times! I have chosen to use the Work of Art stamp set and this is what I came up with but I will be using our Thick Bakers Twine instead of the ribbon.

Birthday Wishes

I know it has been a LONG time since I have posted anything, I have had a whirl wind of events take place and I am finally getting back on track.

I needed a Birthday card for a friends daughter and my granddaughter wanted to help, so we searched Google and found a card she like and wanted to make one just like it.  The card comes from Stampin Pretty back in 2008 but is a beautiful card.

This is what we came up with. 
My granddaughter loves to create with me and give me ideas how how to make it pretty, She just loved the rhinestones.
Cardstock Used:
Some items retired
CS: Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla
