Calla Lilies

Today's card is the last one we made at the workshop...and my favorite one.  It also happens to go with Hand Stamped Sentiments Theme Challenge #60 for this week...Blooming Blossoms.  I've seen just a few of these flower cards around, and my idea for this one came from Lynn Pratt.  To see her card and instructions click here.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Clean and Simple

Hello everyone... I'm finally back and glad to be blogging again! I must say that being out of town two weekends in a row and getting ready for a workshop (between homeschooling and work) just called for a much needed break from blogging.  Now that I've had one it's time to get busy again.  I've titled this post clean and simple to go with The Paper Players challenge this week.  I wanted the first two cards for my workshop this week to be "clean and simple"...so here is the first card we made.  I actually got the basic idea for this card from my upline, Glenda.  You can view her card here.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Friday's Workshop

Here are the three cards I demo'd at my first workshop on Friday.  I got the idea for my first card from Kerin Sylvester using the Because I Care hostess set.  I used Whisper White and Old Olive cardstock, and Pretty in Pink and Old Olive stampin' pads and spots.   

The second card is made using the Autumn Days set. I used Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy and Very Vanilla cardstock.  I also used the Stampin' Write Markers in the same colors. 

The last card I made uses the set Lovely as a Tree.  I used Very Vanilla and Early Espresso cardstock, and Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, More Mustard and Early Espresso Stampin' Pads. I learned how to make this card from France Martin here: http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2010/10/autumn-splendor-video-on-josephs-coat.html
