It's a Laugh Fest!!!

Hi Stampers!

I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for the second annual Stamp-a-rama with a bunch of very talented ladies in March.  We stamped our hearts out and laughed ourselves silly.  Ate some great food too.  Here are a couple of photos from that trip.

Between the seven of us, we had a stamping store!!!  The girls had some fabulous projects.  I'll share a few with you here.

This was one of Carol's cards.  It just doesn't do it justice how pretty it is in real life.

This is one of Beverly's creations.  This was so much fun creating the sunburst at the top.  I'm going to try this technique again soon.  Just cut a rectangle and then divide it diagonally, sponge your strips and adhere to the cardstock. 

I will share more later. I'll also share some of my cards we recently made at my last stamp class.  I'm now having them in my house, so if you are local to the Rock Hill, SC area, drop me a line and let me know you'd like to attend.  They are typically given on the 4th Saturday of the month.  May is going to be on the 2nd Saturday as I had a conflict on the 4th Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi Stampers!

This is one of the cards my Laughing Ladies group in Rock Hill made in our February card class.  I also still hold my class in Denver that is hosted by my friend, Becky Perry.  We nicknamed ourselves the Webcam Wonders.  LOL  I use Skype to meet with them when the class is held during non-work hours for me. 

This card is a combination CASE from Cathy Hansen in Denver and another lady on the SU Stampin' Connection.  I'm sorry that I can't remember her name.  Sorry for the blurry photo.  I need to figure out what is up with my camera (it couldn't POSSIBLY be operator error, right?  HAHAHA)

I used the Houndstooth embossing folder and our new Labels Collection dies (I'm in Heaven!!!)  I sure hope Stampin' Up! brings us more of these in the new catty.  Of course, I had to add bling to the card with our Basic Rhinestones, page 198 in the Idea Book.  The colors are Garden Green, Certainly Celery, Basic Black and Whisper White. The stamp set is called Happy St. Patrick's on page 43 of the Occasions Mini.  The four leaf clover is from Martha Stewart.

EDITED TO ADD:  I just realized this card was a CASE of Connie Babbert's card.  You can see her card here.  She does AWESOME work!!!

Happy Stamping!

After a LOOONNNGGG Leave, I'm back again with a NEW Look!!!

Hello Stampers!!!!

Thanks to Lesley I now have a brand new look!!!  Didn't she do a great job??  She has awesome talent and I'm so excited to be back in the world of blogging.

For my "Grand Re-entry" into the blogging world, I'm going to offer some blog candy, so please leave a comment and I will draw for the blog candy on March 15th.  I'll actually have a photo of what I'm offering up on my next post.  I was just so excited to get this out into cyber space, I didn't have a photo of the blog candy.  Believe me, it's going to be awesome!!!
