Workshop Wonders

What do you get when you bring together some creative friends?  A really unique workshop that was more fun than work that is for sure.  Just look at these adorable projects they created!

We really did have a wonderful time sharing ideas, laughing, exchanging gifts and enjoying a lovely luncheon.  I think they impressed themselves more than each other.  And I loved crafting with them.

I already blogged mine on Saturday, but wanted to just show theirs.  Two of our group couldn’t attend this one and they sure missed out.  Next time I am sure they will share something wonderful.  The ladies liked the activity so much that we decided to do it twice a year, once in December and once in the summer.  I do love these gals!

A Whole Lot of Lovely

Today is quite the contrast to yesterdays color scheme.  But I certainly am all over the place in regular life, so why should my crafting be any different.  Makes sense enough to me.

A Whole Lot of Lovely

I have wanted to try this technique for ages but have never sat down to actually do it. I saw a card that did this as a lattice background for a lovely floral collection and saved the image for later.  That was two phones ago, and I have long since lost that image, but not in my mine.

I used my simply scored set and diagonal plate to make these lines.  If you look closely you will see all of my errors, but it was my first time trying.  I tried to keep my score lines 1/2″ apart, but didn’t get them exact every time.  The look turned out though, and you get the idea.

Some simple stampin, layering everything up on dimensionals, a couple of strings of basic rhinestones, and a healthy dose of sponging helped to finish it off. I of course had to stamp and sponge the inside to make it almost as lovely as the front, they need to coordinate.

Have a creative day!

Birthdays are Big News!

This is definitely a bit of a crazy card.  I wanted a little more order to the stamping on the background, but didn’t have the patience.  Blogging ahead like I am, Utah trip and pioneer trek remember, has made me run a little short on patience.  I just went with it and decided I liked it after all.

There may be lace and a bit of bling here, but I thought it could work for a guy as well, maybe.  This new color delightful dijon is starting to grow on me.  It took a while for summer starfruit to get anywhere with me, but I ended up being so sad when it retired and find myself missing it.  This is much darker, but I am starting to get there.

This project was a real quick put together.  Just a couple of square framelits, some simple stamping, a bit of sponging and it was done.  Then I wanted to put a bit of bling on and even underlined with rhinestones one of the ‘enjoy the fuss’ sentiments.  Good stuff for sure.

I have added another birthday card to the stash.  There never seems to be an end to the need for birthday cards.  Especially when you know so many wonderful people!  A great thing to be able to do.

Have a creative day!
