June Scrap Pages and card



Well, the time has certainly flown by! I'm sorry that I haven't updated. June was crazy busy with making the school yearbook, teacher gifts, club projects etc. I don't know how some of you ladies do it! So here I am finally posting some of my creations.

Cute little brag book for dad!

I made this cute little brag book using SU! clear envelopes (5) so 10 pictures. Created a cover using Basic Black and then I took a piece of Blue Bayou cardstock and stamped the weathered background stamp in versamark and clear embossed over it. I then used my brayer and inked over the entire piece in black ink. I think it turned out pretty cool! It gave it a little leathery look. The Happy Father's Day stamp is stamped in blue bayou and then embossed with the thick clear EP. (Can't remember the exact name) I tried to do the cracked glass technique but I don't think I left it in the freezer long enough because the EP wanted to come off, so I left it with the little crack. On the tag I did the faux metal technique using silver embossing powder and the saying from the stamp set One of a Kind. I then punched it out using the Key Tag Punch from SU! I set 3 jumbo pewter eyelets using my crop-o-dile and on the ribbon and pewter ribbon slide from the hodgepodge hardware kit. I didn't want to bling it up too much as it is for my husband, and you know guys...:) I think Dave will love it as there are pictures of Kaitlyn and the boys.....even a picture of me! :)

I originally created this project for a workshop that I was invited to do here in Chilliwack. What a blast! This group of ladies were so fun! I hope I get to creft with them again in the future!

Scrapbook Pages for May Club 2008

New thing I'm doing this round of club is to teach a little technique each month. So along with making 2 12x12 layouts, we make a card using the technique I just taught. I don't have a picture of the card we did this month as I gave it to my MIL for Mother's Day. When the other ladies come who missed, and they make their card, I'll take a picture to share. Oh, the technique was opaque coloring/chalkboard technique. You can see I incorporated this technique into my pages.




OK, finally an update of some projects I've done

Well, I helped organize a crop fundraiser for my son's elementary school. This is the Thank you card a made to send out to all of the local businesses who helped support our event by donating door prizes.
This is the Thank you card I made for all the participants who came to crop and of course the vendors at the event.

Here are some more 5-in1 template boxes that I made for a very rainy Mother's Day outdoor event. I didn't end up selling much that day because of the weather but now I have lots of samples and stuff for next time around!
Here is a really cute little "pocket" book in which you could put school pictures or business cards or gift cards or any cards for that matter. It's made from only 1 sheet of 12x12 designer paper.
Here is the inside, isn't it sweet?
I loved that card I made for my husbands co-worker who left the department that I made a dozen Father's Day cards. On the inside it says Happy Father's Day with the new Stampin' Up! set.
Last but not least, here are some hot apple cider pouches I made for that Mother's Day event in which I didn't sell any, but like I said, I have lots for another time and event.

#1 Card for Our April 17th Kid's Card Workshop

I saw this idea on another blog. If you know who's I would love to give them credit for it! I just for the life of me can't remember. I tweaked the idea a bit, but I just love the nautical colors!

I'm going to try and post a new card every couple of days so if you're interested in signing up for the workshop or if you're unable to make it (like Sue and Nic) you could order the card kits. Just drop me a line.

Easter Bunny Workshop Creations

Well I have to say, I had a great time finding these projects to create with this great bunch of ladies. It was 5 projects for $25 and if you can believe it, we were actually done on time!This was a tutorial I received in the Splitcoast Stampers newsletter. In between those scallops is a hidden York peppermint patty...yum!
This is the Easter card.
These cute little bunnies housed a Reese chocolate egg/bar. I totally CASED this idea from Dawn. Thank you Dawn!
This adorable little egg basket was a template that I got from reading Amy Celona's blog. She has some awesome projects and tutorials there. Inside were some yummy jelly beans.
And of course we need a basket to carry all our goodies in!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter/Spring Break!
