Another Sneak Peek

here is the belly band on the clear box that holds the cards. we will be making a card set for my next 2 classes.

please keep checking back to see the whole set that we will be making in my march classes at Serendipity (19 s main st, henderson).

this stamp is from My Favorite Things, called Chives.

Ice Storm Cleanup

here is our tree scrap pile, as you can see, it is taller than dave's car.

but it is done, and ready to be hauled off. the little sag on our roof was not really on our roof, it was just our gutter that was bent.

my dad and uncle came up and brought volunteers to work at our house and other houses too. it was a huge relief to us to get it all done. thank you to everyone who helped.

Sneak Peek Card Class

i am going to do things a little differently for my march classes. i am going to give a little sneak peek. i will be teaching a card class on Fri, March 13th, and Sat, March 28th. we will be using the cuttlebug and nestibilities, doing some paper piecing, and using Koh-i-noor pencils with a blending medium.

Kim ordered stamps from a new company, called My Favorite Things. So Serendipity (19 s main st, henderson, ky) will now be carrying some of their stamps. i am so excited.

please keep checking back here to see more. especially if you like herbs, you will love these stamps as much as i do.

Hot Stuff

this is the card that i made to enter Papertrey Ink's contest. they had a sketch that we had to use. i used Papertrey white cardstock, and Basic Grey paper from the Bittersweet line: meltaway, crushed berry, & belgian.

this is also my first card using my new My Favorite Things stamp set called Hot Stuff. i also used koh-i-noor pencils with blending stumps and a blending medium.

Feb Class

here is what we are doing in my next class at Serendipity(19 s main st, henderson, ky), on Feb 14th. we are showing different things that the Bind it All can do. this one is a calendar with acrylic covers.

i used it to mark anniversaries. this page shows my anniversary.

this is the other book. a stamping organizer using JustRite alpha set. i have used the tab punch to put dividers in the book, so i can keep track of my ink colors, punches and nestibilities, and all my stamps. i got the idea for this book from a blog called mish mash. thanks for the inspiration.

ICE Storm 2009

here are pics of our tree that is wanting to come in out of the cold. hopefully not too much damage is under all that ice and snow. but it looks like a lot of cleanup is headed our way.

Bucking Bronco

the last time we had a girl's stamping day, i made these two. i used a kind of rock-n-roll technique, but more controlled.
most people liked the top one, which one do you like? i love the jumbo eyelets too. i think the top one is stamped in creamy caramel then edged in choc chip, and the bottom is edged in close to cocoa. i also sponged the edges in creamy caramel.
