Shoe Box Swap

What is a shoe box swap, you might ask – the idea is that a group of people will each make a completed sample card or 3-D item and supply all the materials which includes cardstock, embellishments, ink, dies, markers etc to make that sample in a shoe box.  The sample is displayed, and we […]

Twitterpated!

I almost gave myself a coronary when my Hostess mentioned doing something with fabric!  I’m no seamstress and thank goodness for my Stampin’ Up! sisters – they came up with suggestions with what I could do without too much technical difficulty!  I cut these flowers using the Bigz XL Flowers Fold die (AC193)  – stacked […]

Chalkboard Technique – Sunday’s Offering

Simulated chalkboard seems to be the new “big thing” at the moment and I thought – why not make an easel, but use it as a kid’s blackboard?  I designed this at the beginning of February for my card club ladies and refrained from posting until after our regular technique club meeting last month because […]
