Tree of friendship...

Therapy Card Nite's theme this past month was called Spring Envy. So every card had something green in it to turn our thoughts toward springtime. (which could hurry up and come already!) After all the snow and cold we've been having during this time of "global warming" I thought it would help with cabin fever. Atleast mine anyway! So here is one simple card to get us ready for springs budding trees!

STAMPS: Season of Friendship

Perpetual Calendar...

Finally after having the tuitorial for I don't know how many years, I finally made one. Well, actually 3 of them! This picture doesn't really show the colors very well at all! Once I got going it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. And to be quite honest I am thinking of making this into one of my Christmas Stamp Camps that starts in August and runs through November! Never to early to start on those Christmas gifts!!! I know there are some of you who are starting to think about their Christmas cards already! Any way I hope you enjoy this as much as the demos who got this from our Christmas demo meeting that, as Jamie said, has been put off twice before, but altleast it is before our next Christmas get together! LOL

Scrap Time Class

I have started doing a Scrap Time Class along with my usual Scrap Time open crop each month. We will be doing a 2 page spread each month. This month we did a Christmas Theme using the Join the Cheer Big Shot Die along with the Delightful Decorations set. Even though it's hard to see I did spray the Vanilla frames with gold shimmer mist made from our Shimmer Paints! Which I am so happy that they are carring them over in the new mini!!! Now just to get all my Christmas pictures printed!!!

You're on my mind...

Came up with this idea in the middle of the night! Ever have those nights that you can't sleep no matter how hard you try? You close your eyes and try to go to sleep, but end up looking at the clock every 10-15 minutes!!! I know that I am not alone. Anyway, I was needing to send a card to a couple to let them know that I am thinking of them and with all the snow we've gotten over the past few days this card came to mind. I love how it looks like it is snowing at night here. Hope you enjoy!

Locker Boards for a craft show...

I did up a bunch of these "locker" boards for the craft show last month. These are really fun and easy to put together. And to make sure they fit the lockers, my son took one to school to try out in his locker. (very secretivly of course!) I made them in all colors to fit anyone's color palete.
