Sketch Frenzy Friday

Good morning!  I don't have a project for you, but wanted to share the SFF Sketch with you anyway!

My mom has been really sick this past week, and at one point, we weren't sure she would pull through.  But, she's stubborn :-), and is doing better now.  She's still in the hospital, but getting better everyday!  

I will try and get some stamping done this weekend so I can share something fun with you!!

Check out my 2014 Stamp Clubs!!  Join us today!

 

Nacho Average Challenge #67

Good morning!  A quick post today--we have a great challenge for you over at the Nacho Blog:

I kept my card simple:

I stamped the Snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree in Silver Encore and Midnight Muse inks.  I adhered the three stamped strips to whisper white cardstock, then layered that onto a midnight muse card base!  Super simple, but elegant!!

Unscripted Sketches #234

Good morning, and happy weekend!!  Check out this sketch from Unscripted Sketches:

Isn't that big text fun?!!  Can't wait to see what you do with it!!  Here's my card:

I used the Endless Wishes stamp set along with the Joy to the World stamp set.  Colors are Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Gumbball Green, taken from the Fab Friday Color Challege:

Enjoy your weekend!

Sketch Frenzy Friday

Good morning!!  It's time for another great sketch designed by me!!! LOL!!!  Actually, the sketch is designed by me, and I think it's kinda cool!!  I hope you do, too--please play along and leave your linky over on the SFF Blog!

I know--it's a Christmas sketch!  But, I just wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit when I ran down to my studio to stamp!!  Here's what I came up with:

Sorry for the picture--it's been cold and snowy here in the desert southwest, and I haven't been able to take pics in the natural sunlight!  Oh well, maybe I'll actually learn how to edit the pictures! :-)

I used the Top Note die--I had to blow the dust off it!!  I love this die, but with all the new big shot stuff, I just haven't played with it in quite awhile!  I stamped and punched the flowers, and look by the sentiment:  I used my paper piercer for a little added something!!

2014 Clubs Forming!!!

It's time for a new round of clubs!!!  I will have to meeting dates each month.  You'll be signed up for either Club A, B or C and you can attend any of the  dates each month!  (projects will be the same for all meetings each month)

 

We'll meet for six months:  January 2014 through June 2014, and you agree to spend at least $25 each month, before shipping and tax.  There are meetings on Friday nights @ 7pm, Sunday afternoons @ 2pm, or Monday nights @ 7pm.

 

What kinds of projects will we make?!!!  Who knows!!!  It might be 6 cards one month, two new techniques the next, and a 3D project the third month!!  I will demonstrate the projects, then you'll make them!!  If you can't make any of the meetings that month, you'll get the packet of consumable supplies used that month.  ***One change I had to make to this round--I will not be able to stamp your projects for you.  Sorry, it just takes too much time!  BUT, you are more than welcome to ask one of the other members to make your projects for you!  

 

I will have a group forum set up that each of you will be invited to join.  That's where I'll post all the pictures of the monthly projects.  Some will be exclusive to YOU, my awesome club members!

 

So, in a nutshell--you agree to spend $25 per month (before ship/tax), and I agree to show you some awesome projects each month!!

 

When signing up, please only sign up for one spot--and sign up  for the month you'd like to be the hostess!  There will be three hostesses each month.

 

NEW this year!!!  If you'd like to join us, but live far away---you still can!!  If you're long distance, you'll just place your order each month online--using the special hostess code for your club.  Your order will be shipped directly to you!  I will mail your kit to you each month, at no cost to you!  

 

Here are the dates for each month:

January 24, 26 & 27

February 21, 23, & 24

March 21, 23, & 24

April 25, 27 & 28

May 16, 18 & 19

June 20, 22 & 23
