May 2nd - National Scrapbooking Day

I will be representating Stampin' Up! at an all day crop, May 2nd for National Scrapbooking Day. The crop will be held from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm at the Weise Building in Davenport, IA.

If you are interested in attending the crop, contact Amy Sprague for more information or to sign up.

I will be teaching a class, making eight cards (2 each of 4 different designs) and a card holder. This would make a nice gift for someone or keep it for yourself. The class fee is $20.

Here is a picture of what each class participant will make:


The card holder is in the back center of the picture. The cards are the two in front and the two in the back on either side of the card holder.

Mother's Day Butterfly

Wouldn't you mom LOVE to get this card for Mother's Day, or maybe for her Birthday this year?

Well, you can customize it for any occasion you want, Mother's Day, Birthday, Get Well, Thank You, of even a Sympathy card. We are going to make this card at class this month, and I thought it would make a lovely Mother's Day card.

The butterfly and leafy stems are from the Stampin' Up! Great Friend Stamp Set (113792, $17.95), and the beautiful DSP, Walk in the Park (115123, $9.95) can both be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Let me know what you think of this card. Thanks for lookin'.

Soft Summer Stamp Set (113802, $23.95)

Here is another card using a new stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

The SU DSP is Raspberry Tart (I just love this paper). We will also be making this card at class this month. This will be an easy card to make, although I have trouble getting my bows to look good -- it takes me several tries before I get it to look the way I want.

Hope you like the card, simple yet elegant. Thank for stopping by.

Oval All Stamp Set (113790, $16.95)

I used the new Oval All stamp set, and the new Scallop Oval Punch from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

The Designer Series Paper is Bella Rose. Isn't it just beautiful? The Fabulous Friend stamp (part of the Oval All Stamp Set) matches the paper practically perfectly. Also, I just love the new Scallop Border Punch, it really dresses up any card.

We are going to make this at card class this month.


Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Thanks for looking.
