Totally TURTLES

Here's a sneak peak at the New Occasions catalog items. Just got my pre order. Woo hoo! I've been way to busy to make anything yet. (Sad face). But as soon as I get through this week I should be able to play. Happy face! Here's the card we are making tomorrow night using the Bokeh Technique. So easy! Looks amazing though! This is totally cased from another demonstrator. (Did you think I was creative enough to come up with this on my own? LOL). I loved how it looked but thought it would be hard to do. Not even. I will show you how to do it and it shouldn't take long at all. Just some sponging and a little embossing. That's it. Looking forward to all the fun Christmas Parties this week at my kids school. I'm going to do a craft with each of their classes. Laura Minton made these. Mine will not look as cute but hopefully the kids will still like them. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Stampin' Up! finally has made a stamp set to go with feather framelits . Yeah!!! Check out this card I sent to my team members for being so awesome! I love the colors: daffodil delight, coastal cabana, calypso coral. I used the background hardwood stamp in Baked Brown Sugar. I truly am thankful for my team of TURTLES. That's what I call them since they are. Visit my team page above to learn more about them and why they are called TURTLES. Planning my team getaway trip now and can't wait to pamper those who promoted and achieved higher sales and recruited. They rock! Looking forward to seeing them soon. Thanks for looking.

This was last month but I thought I would share them on here. If you are on Facebook you'll get to see my projects posted quicker.   We did a shaker card using the star framelits and then made the cute box using the envelope punch board. Do you want to have fun coming to my classes and learning these cool techniques? Join my team or set up a private class to learn how to do these projects and more.   Thanks for looking.

I thought, "If we find some time to craft this will be perfect for it." It turns out that we had some down time on the trip. The girls said they were bored so I brought out the box.

Well actually everyday is messy desk day. LOL. But at least with this blog post you'll be able to see me create something out of the mess. I was busy making tonight's card class so this is what's left there to work with for tomorrow's amazing creation! Tonight we are learning to sponge like a pro. This is my monthly supper club and we get together to eat and have fun stamping. I'm excited to show my friends how to do this card below. It's using Soft Sky (a new color they brought back. Yeah!) Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and the ribbon is Baked Brown Sugar. Oh and the green is Pear Pizazz. I love the new back ground stamp. The look of wood without embossing through the big shot. This is a must for any serious crafter. Endless possibilities. Oh and I love the polaroid framelit! I have to say that I saw this card on facebook and it inspired me to make my own. Not sure how to link to it but I will tell you that Song Of...

Well if you want to know what's on my crafting table take a look: This is just a small section of it too. So while I was cleaning up and putting away my crafts I had an idea. What if I showed you what my desk looks like every Wednesday and then on Thursday I show you what I made with the scraps I had on my desk. Sound fun? I think it would make me have more fun while cleaning up. So come back tomorrow and I'll show you what I made using what's on my crafting table. (and I didn't pull any extra paper out I swear!) The reason I had some scraps on my desk was because of this project I made. I think this will be my next card class. (See my events page for more info). I used new designer paper that I got out of the Mini Occasions catalog. It's so pretty. Plus I used a new embossing folder and punch. Makes this card easy to duplicate over and over. You could change it up and use whatever designer paper you have. Just have a coordinating cardstock and ink pad....
