Getting ready for the Summer

This is one of the cards that I was inspired by Michelle Zindorf. Getting ready for the summer.

Michelle Zindorf Brayer Workshop

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend one of Michelle Zindorf's Brayer workshop. We had so much fun, and Michelle is such a great teacher. These are the 3 cards we did in the workshop. If you would like to see more of Michelle Zindorf's work click here

Rag Purse

Here is my 1st attempt at a Rag Purse using the big shot with the scallop die cut. Let me know what you think.. This purse is so easy to make. The colors in the bag are Purple and Pink.

CASED Flower Card

When I saw this flower with strips of SU DSP, I knew I needed to case it. If you want to see the card I case click here. The designer of the original card a cased is Brenda Cook from Tarboro, NC. Thanks for looking.

Happy New Year

Stampin UP! has TWO new mini catalogs that came out on Jan 5th.. I can't wait to show you what is in them. The first catalog is the Occasions Mini Catalog January 5th to April 30th. Stampin' UP ! has a new style punch that they are featuring, it uses less space when you store it. One of the other items they are featuring is clear stamps. You can still purchase the wood stamps as well.

The other catalog that Stampin UP! is featuring is the Sale*a*Bration, January 5th to March 31st. This catalog has all the free stamp sets you can earn when you spend $50. You can also earn a free stamp set when you host a workshop and it is at least $300.00. Also if you join Stampin UP! during Sale*A*Bration you will get to choose a free stamp set.

This is a great time to host a workshop or become a part of the Stampin' UP! team. Drop me an email or call me and let's set up a time for your workshop and you can start earning free stamp sets.
