RED, WHITE & BLUE

Feeling patriotic today as it's D-Day, a day to remember those who fought for our, my freedom.

THANK YOU

Wednesday Play Day!!!  

I love it when the girls show up at my door to play.

Here's what we did.

We did some water coloring using Stampin Up stamps

Kathi had us silver emboss the rose and sentiment.

I added the embossed border along with some splattering and 

glitter in the open areas of the rose.

Got the idea for this card from "vertical cards" in Pinterest.

We then played with some water coloring and alcohol inks.  Too fun!

Valentine cards in the making!!!

Fun projects for our card group to make.

I did some different techniques with these cards.

The front of the card features Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Roses and Banners of Love

This card I clear embossed the front using 

Stampin Ups Marbled Stamp, Flourishing Phases

die,  Butterfly Thinlits and Sweet and Sassy Framelits.

I die cut the vine spray from the embossed mat, then cut another from a marbled paper

that I made. I layered the embossed mat on the pink card base and adhered the marbled

vine spray into the cutout area. I then added some glue into the cut out areas and covered

with fine glitter. The embossed spray was added to the inside of the card along with the hearts.

The above card was made using an 

embossing file and heart thinlits from Stampin Up.

The butterflies were cut from 

Elizabeth Craft Designs.

The hearts were cut out of the front so they became dimensional on the inside. 

Die cuts, marbling, glitter, embellishments and layering were all used on this card.

FUN, FUN, TIME AT RETREAT!!!

We had sooooo  much fun fellowshipping, creating, learning, sharing, eating and laughing.

We made a stationary gift box, shared cards and techniques, played games and stayed up late having a super good time.  Eleven awesome gals and four days of fun.

Here are some of the things we made.

Oh Dear!!! It has been awhile since I shared with you.

Well, here we go with some of our most recent cards.

We are trying to be ready for Christmas this year by making some

cards each week when our group gathers. We are also, making some

fall cards that have turned out so pretty.

I've been playing around with nesting dies and telescoping in preparation for my Saturday Workshop

Here are some of the results
