Some cards from the last few months....not the best photos....

Stampin up workshop

Finally got back to a stampin' up workshop with Jamilla
A local demonstrator with loads of talent and inspiration.
Here are my cards from July Class.

Stampin' Up Blendies

I am trying out  the new Stampin' Up Blendabilites .

The first ones I received are  Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.

This is my first attempt with these markers. I have used Copics for about 3 years and like them but wanted to try the new release from Stampin' Up.  I found that I have to use these markers a little differently than the Copics but I like that the 3 colours are packaged together. I found it harder to blend but I think I just need more practice.

Here is my first card....

Image stamped on Whisper White by Stampin' Up and ribbon supplied by Louise Cyr for me to practice on. For the middle of the flower I used Copics due to the limited colours I have in the blendies

I hope you like it, as always comments are appreciated.

Encore Dance Fundraising CROP Sept 21, 2013

I'm back.....Let me just say that it has not been a nice Summer for my family or I and leave it at that!

My daughter, sister and I attended the best run crop on the weekend. Lots of wonderful sponsors and prizes,( that's you, Ann aka the runner) great food and raffles, door prizes and entertainment (that's you, Christa). This is the 3rd year we have attended this fundraising Dance crop and look forward to it all year long.

I completed two projects from the sketches supplied (for extra prize tickets , of course)

A card sketch by Joanne Burton













and  a layout sketch by Laura Whitaker
























and for the On-Line Crop "Around the World" from Two Scrapbook friends

I used a sketch from Two Broke Girls, Sugar and Spice Sept challenges.

and then a

 sketch by Shelby, Two Scrapbook Friends designer and very talented lady.

That's all for now,  I have some partially completed layouts to finish.
