Catching Up

Here are a few pics of what we've been up to the last few weeks.

The Going Baroque class was a success! It was fun for me to organize, and I think the ladies who came had a great time too. Here they are busy at work...ahem, play!






I took a little break from Stampin' Up! stuff to organize my daughter's birthday. I forgot to take pics of the invites, but here are the cake pops and cake. Fun, fun!





My kiddos love crafting too. Lately they've been having a blast with stickers. If they seem bored or are getting whiny, all I have to do is mention stickers and they perk right up :).


I recently discovered this hardwood-looking technique for cardstock and I love it! I demonstrated how to do it at our Two Toonies Tuesday get together last night. Here's the card:

I used Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip ink. I also used the "Lovely as a Tree" stamp set and the "Something to Celebrate" set for the sentiment.

I was so inspired by the hardwood technique, I made this card this morning. I used Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, and Cajun Craze ink. The stamp is from "Baroque Motifs". I even used the stamp on the twill tape - a new-to-me technique!


Well, that's what I've been doing lately! Next up is a card class on the 21st featuring cards with out-of-the-ordinary folds. I can't wait! Let me know if you're interested and check out the "Classes" tab for more info.

Success!

The first Two Toonies Tuesday went great! Thanks to the ladies who came out despite the sicknesses that are running rampant these days. I hope you had as much fun as I did! To those of you who couldn't make it due to illness - I hope you get feeling better. Hopefully we'll see you next time! You missed out on pumpkin bars, chocolate and TimBits! All were very yummy.

As I was walking the ladies out last night I realized I didn't take any photos. They offered to do a reenactment, but it just wouldn't be the same. Next time :). So in lieu of "action" pics here's a photo of the supply table:


Here are the two cards I made. I'm not sure if they are "finished". I feel like they could use a little something extra. I'll mull over them for a bit and see if inspiration hits.

The next Two Toonies Tuesday is on March 22nd. See you then!

Tomorrow!!

is our inaugural Two Toonies Tuesday! How ironic that it should fall on the 22nd :). There are still a few spots available if anyone else is interested. Perhaps you have a friend who may enjoy a night of paper crafting. Just let me know!

Double-check the "Two Toonies" page for information on what to take along.
Hopefully I'll have some photos to share on Wednesday!
