ooops I almost forgot! 



Just wanted to share some quick pics of our latest Scrappy Little Cards on Steroids class. 



Loving the paper all over and the punches....these ladies were all busy this past Sunday afternoon making card after card after card.  It was one fun day of card crafting! 



What I'm working on... 



Cards for Stamp and Scrap Expo, Scrapathon pages (can't show you those!!), card samples for, well just for grins and giggles.  The card above is one of 4 different Make & Takes we are planning for the show.  AND, our friend Jenny has graciously offered to come to the show and demo some fabulous (and easy) background techniques, as well as flower making using the the McGill Paper Blossoms punches.  Expo is May 21 and 22.  I know that seems a long way away--but not so much for us.  We have much to plan and order to be able tp pull off a well-stocked booth (the weekend after Scrapathon!!). 





The cards directly above were made with the postcard paper from Graphic 45's Springtime Fantasy line.  Just cut, adhere to a folded card and highlight with Glaze pens, Stickles, Smooch and the like.  I wish this photo showed more of the sparkle.  But there you have it... I am usually happy to just get a clear photo, let alone one that shows "sparkle"  !!


 
Have a sparkly day all!

Gotta love the hat

I know, I know... it's been three weeks since I posted.  I just always feel like I should have photos of things to post.  Maybe I should get over this?  Anyway I had no new photos of things and all kinds of prep wok to get done for card marathon and power pages

I've been working on the card for an upcoming class.  We had held a Merry Glitzmas class in the past showcasing the use of all things sparkly; Stickles glitter glue, Smooch, Sakura Clear Glitter pen, Glaze pens, Gold Leafing pens, Glimmer Mists.  Graphic 45 and K & Co vintage Christmas images were perfect for this class.  But it's not Christmas time anymore...  It's SPRINGTIME!!!!!



So Graphic 45 has some new vintage fairytale images and I thought we should repeat the class, updating it with some of the new Smooch colors and a few new tricks I've picked up. 




The vintage fairytale images are s-o-o-o-o pretty and just adding glimmer and shine makes them really pop.  I just wish my photography skills were better so you could really see the sparkle on these cards. 

Bring on the spring...
