A Holiday Workshop Project!

Last Friday, I held a SU! workhop here at my house. One of the projects that we made was a Christmas Tree Ornament. They are so simple to make and the ladies seemed to really enjoy them. The picture doesn't quite do them justice, but trust me they are stunning!!! I used SU! classic ink refills (real red, cool carribean, baroque burgundy and brilliant blue) with dazzling diamonds to create these 4 ornaments. I have in mind to make many more of these for teachers gifts, bus driver gifts and grandparent gifts! I better get working on them as Christmas is just around the corner! Have a great day!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!! I have been busy creating these "favor cones" for the boys' classes. They were actually quite simple, once I got the hang of it. I simply used a piece of 6 X 6 non SU! (shame on me!!!) Halloween cardstock and folded them. I put an eyelet and some ribbon at the top to use as a hanger. The boys were thrilled with them and I hope that their classmates agree!!! Good luck Trick or Treating! Which by the way, is not my favorite thing in the world to do!!!!

Birthday Card Exchange!

This month the SUDEMOONLY CCS theme is birthday cards. This is the card that I came up with to send to my 5 lucky recipients. I used the SU! True Friend stamp set. I also used SU! Naturals Ivory, Garden Green, Ballet Blue and Night of Navy Ink and Papers. Now, I all that I have to do is wait to get my list of names to send the cards to. Then, the hard part...waiting to receive the cards that will be sent my way! I love the ideas and cards that I receive. When I get them, I will post them!! Have a great weekend!

The Facing Easter Page

Posted by Picasa

And, the last of today's uploads!

These two pages are from Easter...could you tell? I used some Crative Memories Paper (the plaid) and SU! paper and ink to make this layout! This will be the last of today's uploads. I should get better at doing this daily and I wouldn't have to do it all at once!! Have a great day and go create something fun!!! Enjoy!!!

Another Simple Page Done!

Yes, simple is the name of the game. But, I managed to work in another new stamp set! These are the pages that I love to do, they are simple and get the pictures on the pages! And, at this point I need to get as many done as I can!
This is a trip that I went on with the Kindergarten. We went to local nursery and each child got to make up a pot of flowers for Mother's Day. The flowers were beautiful! It was just what we needed at the end of a long Winter!!

Catching Up on Some Much Needed Scrapbooking!

I am only about a year behind on my scrapbooking, okay maybe not quite a year. But, I have been neglecting it to say the least. Here is a quick and simple page that I did. I used markers to create the scissors on the background. Then I cut out some pencils and added them with dimensionals. This set is so darn cute, and it will come in so handy for all of my school pages! Now, if I can only keep the momentum I will be done in no time!

Trying those Faux Icicles.

I have read so much about making these icicles. And, then I went to a family gathering and a friend showed me the card that she made using Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. I did it directly on the card and was fairly pleased with the outcome. Now, I can't wait to do it at a workshop and see how excited my girls are when they learn something new. Not only will they learn something new, but something that is extremely easy to duplicate. All that you need to do is apply the Crystal Effects in a straight line. Then I took a toothpick and stretched the CE down to make it resemble icicles. Wa-La! Now, I am thinking that I have time to try it with black glitter and do some scary Halloween cards!!! The colors that I used here are SU! Garden Green, Bayou Blue and Ruby Red. Go ahead, try some of your own icicles!!!!

Catching Up on Some Stamping!

I was trying to find an excuse to get this set out and stamp with it. I decided to use my SU! Markers to create with. The bashful blue, ruby red and wild wasabi colors are quite a compliment to the stamp set. Now, I should keep busy creating some more!
