IT'S A FALLISH FEELIN

FALL IS WORKING ITS WAY HERE

Wednesday card making never ceases to amaze me.
Yesterday was a "Watercoloring Workshop" where I shared different watercoloring techniques.
We took the watercolored backgrounds and made embellishments from them.
Super fun!!!










I put some of my quilts which are my orignal designs up on my studio walls

FALL FEELING WITH EMBELLISHMENTS AND MORE

AUGUST 31, 2020
August came and is soon to leave in less than 24 hours.
A month of craziness, weather, differences, new beginnings and so much more.
September will make her entrance probably much like today but new!
With just the sound of September, I'm ready for the colorful fall to begin.
So, for the last few days, I have been water coloring and stamping.
Instead of making cards, although I did make a few, I have been making embellishments that 
can be placed on a card or put in a Junk Journal or used as a tag.

AUGUST 19TH 2020

AUGUST 19TH CARD MAKING DAY!!!

I love my Wednesdays with  awesome friends and creativity galore!
Here's the creativity we made Wednesday, Aug. 19th

I told the girls to save their empty toilet paper rolls so they can flatten and distress and emboss them to use in future projects and that is what Sandy did here with her card.



We had a visitor join us and Heather shared this trifold card with us. She needs to visit us more often!




This was the last card of the day and I gave the girls some scraps to tear and arrange of the card.



I put together these cards using my hexagon punch just before the gals came,



The three embellished cards are altered Bingo cards. I'm going to put them in my Junk Journal.

This was created with layering starburst dies. Not sure where they will end up at or in 
but they were fun to create.

We had a great time Wednesday with new friends and old.
I shared some of the new products that Stampin Up just released and shared what I have made
using them so sit back and enjoy.

Played water coloring. I love doing this!!!

Love this card. I used the Best Plaid Builder die set and Way to Goat stamp set


This card was shared by one of the gals using a very retired Stampin up set and water coloring
I love this little back pack. Found this at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/226517056248131493/

Ribbon Dolls

So Much Fun!!!
I am part of a group called

Trading ATC and Art/Craft supplies

and we did a "Ribbon Doll" swap. I had never heard of them before
but once I started making them, I was hooked.







Another swap I was recently involved with is "Scripture Sticks".
Didn't know what those were either but put my thoughts together and this is what I came up with



Not a swap but something close to my heart!
Awhile back, I made some thank you cards for Banner University Hospital in Phoenix 
where my son, Brian spent 45+ days in ICU battling for his life.
Well, recently, I have had a desire to send another batch of "Thank You's" to them
as they continue to battle the visus that is playing havoc with us.
The medical staff at Banner are awesome and I just want them to know how much 
we appreciate them and what they do.  That goes for all the nurses, doc's and others
who put in long hard hours always to help others.  I have two nurses in my family and
I can never express my graditude to them!
So here is what I am making and sending this time. They are "Thank You Hearts" that
have a paperclip on the back to be attached to whatever.
The folded hearts came from Gi Kerr on YouTube

WEDNESDAY CARD GROUP PROJECTS
These boxes we made will organize our labels that we stamp and punch out.
We can insert the labels to have already made up and ready to use on the next project.
I got the idea from Liz thepaperproject on YouTube
Currently, I am working on my Junk Journals so pictures soon to come.
