This card is a third from the Asian theme designer papers from one of the classes. The pretty strip with flowers and brads slides off the card before it will unfold.

I did get a couple cards done this weekend. I did not however setup the camera to take any photos.

I am still sick, and this cold likes to suck the energy right our of you and what energy there is left in my battery gets drained with the constant coughing and nose blowing... So I will hopefully get those weekend cards posted later this week.

On another note, as a family we watched Celebrity Apprentice last night, we have a vested interest in watching, at work there is a group of us that get together to watch on our lunch hr. This year with the episodes being 2 hrs we cannot. Anyway we pick who we are going to support and then see who lasts the longest in the game. This is my fouth year joining the fun, I have three 'You're Fired' magnets that I proudly display. This year I chose Jesse James as my game player. I am pleased to anounce I was not fired last night.

Have a great monday... I am sooo not looking forward to work this morning.

I think the class that used all Asian themed designer papers was one of my favorites, I actually recreated this card at home with different papers. I don't remember what it looked like though.

Have a great Saturday.

They got me... the germs... darn cold bugs.

This card was from a class that used a series of Asian themed Designer papers, most of the cards from this class were very nice. I felt this card could used something else, a quote or saying or something. I don't mess with my samples though.

This card portrait is not very good as it makes this card look of kilter. I like this card for its simplicity yet it still adds flash with the gems and thin silver ribbon.

I think the germs are getting me. The boys are feeling better though. My son definitely had it worse then my husband but it is never good to feel sick no matter what the intensity.

Have a great day.

I love this card, I think it is one of my favorites from my classes.

Have a great day.

This card was done with distressed vintage papers, for most of these classes they were out of stock of the designer papers they used after the card classes.


My boys are sick with this nasty cold going around. I can feel the little germs pointing at me saying "you are next".

See you tomorrow.

I only managed a half of a card this weekend and that is definitely not ready for a post. I did however watch two great demos at the local stamp store that got me thinking about a few of the card classes I took last year. So I have decided to pull them out of there hiding place and take some pictures. I don’t recall any of the supplies but some of the idea’s were great. I never give away any of the cards I make in workshops and classes so I have a box of them.

This first one would be perfect for a Father’s Day card. I think this idea is very interesting
I have only been up and about for 20 mins, I should be wide awake but I am yawning up a storm that cannot be good.

Have a great Monday.

Card #4, This project was suppose to be a scrapbook page however only half the workshop was interested in making a page so she adapted it to a card. I think she did a wonderful job. I saved attaching my butterfly till I got home as I wanted to 3D it with some pop-dots. The technique we were shown for this one was color variant on the stamps, a sponge was used to blend the edges of the ink before stamping. I love the butterfly with its swirls and text.

Supplies: All Supplies are Stampin’ Up - Garden Green and handsome hunter cardstock, Simple Friendship stamp set, Patterns- Designer Paper, Pop Dots.

Happy Friday.

Card # 3, this card is an envelope type card, the inside recipe like card slides out. I was in a rush to take card portraits the other night so I forgot to take a picture of the inside card separate, I will do that this weekend and post again.

I think this is a very cute idea for an invite, I might try one of these on my own.

Supplies: All Supplies are Stampin’ Up - Sahara Sand, chocolate chip, very vanilla cardstock, To the Nines – Designer Paper, misc ribbon.

I can feel Friday at my finger tips, it is almost here.
