Make n' Take

Our Make n' Take on Monday will be using a new stamp set to make tags.

Of course, a game will be played and prizes won... always fun!

New Holiday Mini Launch

Monday evening some of my ladies will join me to oooh and aaaah over all the goodies that go LIVE on August 1st.

So many exciting products for every Holiday!

July's Technique

This month we did an old favourite...Baby-wipe Technique

Sorry for the shadow..had to take it in my basement as it was raining outside (for natural light).
I love how you can stamp images over and over with this technique, each one a little different!

I'm Back!

What a month....

Visits from my youngest son and family, my DIL's parents too!

All the time I have been chair of organizing the 100th Anniversary of Women's Institutes of Nova Scotia.

130 delegates, speakers from as far away as Scotland and as close as Antigonish, the Lord Leuitenant-Governor of Nova Scotia and his wife joined us for our banquet.

Can you say ...phew.....

Now back to what I love....creating cards. Eagerly awaiting the launch of the new Holiday mini on August 1st.

Stay tuned!

Recycling!!

Can you guess what I used?

This and That Class

First you find a handsome guy...then comes a marriage....

 

 

 

Along comes baby...boy then girl...

Graduation Gift

I was looking for a different way to gift money for a grad gift and this is what I came up with!

June's Technique Class

In June we did Stained Glass Technique and made a different inside layer for our sentiment.

New Catalogue Sneak Peek

Mosaic Madness and Label Love are two new stampsets, co-ordinating punches, embossing folder and designer papers. Only 3 more days until launch!

Faux Patina Technique

If you read my last post you will understand why this is a late post.....:) camera found!
This was the box card we made in our May Technique club.

New Catalogue Scavenger Hunt

Last night we got together with our new catalogues and had some FUN!
Isn't it amazing the things you can find when seeking out the answers to your clues...heard so many "I would have missed that!"
Hope you are all enjoying turning the pages too!
Everyone made a Dolled Up Birthday card from the kit available til the end of the month...
OOPS! Where was the camera? Each one was different believe me...dressed up with ribbons and pearls.
EXCITED..yes! Friday is kick-off day and the wish lists are started, are yours?

Dolled-Up Birthday

This kit is only available to the end of the month.....so easy to make 6 cards..everything supplied except your adhesive and acrylic block for the stamped sentiment.

I rounded the corners, sponged all the edges...even the ribbon rose....so many possibilities!

Graduation Time

If you are like me, Graduation time is busy this year. We have three graduating from High School and I searched for cards to CASE and found Dawn O``...many, many thanks!
I didn`t have the stamps that she used but the layouts were just what I was searching for...hope you like them too!

Fabulous You!

A birthday card for someone special.. finally got to use this stamp set. Everything is StampinÙp except the pretty background paper...you`ll never guess where I recycled it from. OK..it was a lovely mulberry paper thet came with my Mothers`Day bouquet, love it!

It's Retirement Time!

Today the retiring stamps and accessories list went live!
Visit www.stampinup.ca and check the LOOONNNGGG list.
It is an exciting time for us all as we look forward to the NEW Annual catalogue that will be available JUNE 1st.
Yippee!!!

April Technique Club

Our first technique was CHALKBOARD so it naturally led to a chalkboard easel .
Wouldn't this be a great card for that special teacher?

Did you Notice?

Did You Notice?

No? Yes?  I updated the "All about Me" on my sidebar.

I am now Nana to 4 :)

Ryan Mark Lilley joined our family on January 12th, 2013! Yeah!  3 boys and 1 girl now.....
I'm one happy Nana!

Pay-it-Forward

Every year I join in a local pay-it-forward group... The first 4 people to contact you go on your list and you can join on another one. Your pay-it-forward task has to be completed within the year.

 I usually make a papercraft item for my group and this year it was a box of 3x3 mini notes and envelopes.

Firstly, a BIG Thankyou to JUNE who held a class and did a wonderful job taking care of the orders whilst I was away...Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!

Now, Technique club is starting this month and a Flutterby Class to follow...stay tuned for pics and when I can work out how to put a calendar of events onto my blog, everyone will be able to reserve the dates of their favourite class(es) to attend.

It's so good to be back and have inky fingers...
