Awesome Crop Night!

We such a blast tonight and let me say the creative energy was rocking!  Lynn and I started playing at 3:00 pm then Amy and Tiffani came at 6:00 pm to join  the fun. 

I normally do not start crop so early in the day but Lynn had a chance to come play so that gave us the rare opportunity to catch up just the two of us.

So what did I get done tonight? 

This is the same card design from the video with a few sparkles.  The idea came from a sister CTMH consultant “Janice Wilson”.  I finished making 18 more for my customers and a couple to sell next time I work an expo.

Supplies used:

Outdoor Denim Cardstock

New England Ivy Cardstock

Crème Brule Ribbon

A little Thanks Stamps (D1444)

Sparkles are contraband

My very first Video!

Mike & Kaela have been hinting that I should start making videos and after a little practice I have found that I like it!  This is the first of I hope many to come.  It is raw with no editing and I am still learning.  

Please bear with me for I am a blonde :-)

Aspiration Thank you Card

Accordion Paper Flower

I made this card for Catherine Hayden using a brand new technique I just learned.  I will have to say this card took the longest I have ever spent making a card of any kind but it turned out great!   So far this is the only flower that I have been able to fold correctly but with a little practice I think I will have it. 

I am going to have to figure a way of making the flower not so high because it will not fit into an envelope.  It stands 1/2 inch tall! Catherine your card will be coming in a funky envelope… hope you do not mind. :-)

Idea came from: Violet Bebich (a CTMH sister)

Volunteer Week at THP – Finished!

It is close but I am finished making the Thank You cards for work. They will get delivered today but I wanted to share with you how they turned out.

 

I think they turned out really well.  I printed a sentiment on the inside and now I just need to get everyone in the department to sign all 19 of the cards.

Wish me luck!

Huge Vacation Project

When I developed the 2010 photos I noticed that there were WAY too many Palo Duro photos to just to a couple of layouts. 

Sooooo, you know what that means:

An entire VACATION ALBUM just for PALO DURO CANYON!

Here are the first 11 pages that I have been working on:

This will be the first page.  I normally have trouble getting the “Title Page” done but this photo does the trick. 

I saved my “Passages” paper pack just for these vacation photos and I still have some “Back Country” paper left over that I think I will filter in.  I am in love with how well the colors are working with the landscape photos. 

I could not asked for any better papers.

Volunteer Week at THP

Volunteer Week @ Texas Health Plano Emergency Department is coming up fast! Last year I made cards for the March of Dimes baby baskets and cards for Doctors week but I ran out of time for those this year but I do have time to make cards for:

Volunteer Week

We have 19 wonderful ladies and gentlemen that come everyday to help us be the best we can be.   So here are the components I will use to make the thank you cards to go into their gifts that we are making.  I have until Sunday night but am going to shoot for Saturday so that we have time for everyone in the department to sign each card before hand. 

I will post a finished card when done.

I will post a list of supplies soon but I think I need some dinner before I get started again. Wish be luck!
