If anyone has any questions on the above cards, please feel free to email me. If you're still interested in attending a card session, I will be having 2 more classes. Let me know when you're free to drop by for a class!

Lastly, I've had friends ask if they can make cards at home - of course! You can let me know which card you'd like to make and the colours you'd like to use, and I can put together a card kit for you. All papers, stamped images, ribbons, embellishments and an envelope are included for $3 per card. :)

Happy Belated .. New Year?

Hi everyone,

Sorry to neglecting this little blog for awhile - everything was happening all at once, and I wasn't able to do much crafting over the holidays. But I hope everyone had a great 2008, and now looking forward to an even better 2009!

Anyway, another catalogue season has finished ... which means = BRAND NEW 2009 SPRING/SUMMER CATALOGUE. Click to your right to see what goodies are in this book of fun!

Below is a card made by my friend Steph tonight. I think I converted her into a craft-doer - YAY! She wanted to make a card for her niece's first birthday, and on her first try of cardmaking, I think she did a wonderful job. She also tried embossing the inside of the card (not shown) using my Cuttlebug. I think that was her favourite part of the cardmaking session!


Project materials (all materials from Stampin' Up! unless specified): Cardstock in Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Pacific Point; Cupcakes standard stamping wheel, On Your Birthday stamp set, Bundled In Love stamp set; Classic Stamp Cartridge in Basic Black, Marvy Uchida Brush Markers, StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad; Aqua Painter; generic fabric flower and brad

Lastly, I'm doing a Valentine's Day/Birthday card workshop this coming Sunday (January 25) and next Sunday (February 1st) for those who are interested. It will be of 5 cards (1 Valentine's Day and 4 Birthday) using stamp sets such as Tart & Tangy, Short & Sweet, and Happy Heart Day. There are a few spots left so let me know if you're interested!
