Snapshot Thank You

Friday, August 15, 2014

This card was made for our amazing photographer! Todd really took his job seriously because he sure did capture some great shots of everyone!! You will see those below!

Stampin' Up's new SNAPSHOT single stamp sure did come in handy when I wanted to make his card. The stars are from PICTOGRAM PUNCHES and the the Thank-you is from ANOTHER THANK YOU with some GORGEOUS GRUNGE along the side.
Here are some of the other participants in this years talent night...
Avery sang AMAZING GRACE (beautifully I might add)

and Grace ended our night with an AMAZING fiddle compilation

Kaela sang BORN FOR THIS (story of Esther) by Mandisa

While her sister (Snow White, aka Alyssa) played the jambay

Our only adult performance was by Bill, who led us all in a worship song before his solo (HOLD ME JESUS, by Rich Mullins). It was perfect!

Sweet, silly, fun Alex did a fantastic job on her PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN piano solo.

Do you see anything missing? NO MUSIC SHEETS! She did this all by heart!

At the end she sat right on the base keys of the piano - what a hoot this girl - sure am going to miss her when she goes to college in a week.

Alex got one of my owl builder Pirate cards

Our second fiddler is Kate - I love how she even dressed the part because she played a few songs from the deep south - Dixie and the like!! Like I said we have a talented lot of people here!!

Becky sang BEAUTIFUL DAY by Jamie Grace. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!!

And this is ANNA, I already posted the card that I made for her, but I didn't have her photo yet. She sang ABOVE ALL by Michael W Smith

I am so extremely thankful for everyone who participated!
And I am thankful to all of you too who stop by each day to check out the cards and inspiration I post.

Write Your Story On My Heart

Tuesday, August 12, 2014

Nearly 2 weeks ago was our Talent Night at our church. The kids (and grown ups) in our church have such amazing talent. This week I thought I would share with you the cards that I made for the participants.
This sweet trio of girls sang the song "Write Your Story On My Heart" by Francesca Battistelli
They did such a great job and I found myself designing their card in my head while they sang. I do not plan their cards until I see and hear their performance and I love to take notes so as much as possible I can design their cards according to their performance.

This is the card that I made for them. I started with this one - I put the hearts down on the TYPESET SPECIALTY PAPER with 2 glue dots to hold them in place and then stitched them down using my trusty 39 year old Kenmore Sewing machine. I thought the Specialty Paper was perfect for the "WRITE...(Your Story)" and the SWEETHEART PUNCH was perfect for the "...On My Heart" part of the song. Beautiful job Claire, Olivia and Caroline!

It looked too flat so I tried another one and just placed them while I sewed so I could flip the heart sides up for more dimension. I tried stamping the "thanks" from ANOTHER THANK YOU directly onto the specialty paper but they kind of got lost with all the print

so I opted to stamp the "thanks" onto Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out using the banner from the CIRCLE CARD THINLIT DIES and popping it up with Dimensionals.

After I finished uploading all the pictures I added a small Basic Rhinestone to each heart and it really added the finishing touch but I was too lazy to take another picture and upload etc. but adding the Rhinestone would be called "stepping it up". Very pretty.
INSIDE:

I actually punched out a SWEETHEART PUNCH from the Very Vanilla Cardstock and placed a piece of Designer Paper behind it. Yes, I could have just put a punched out SWEETHEART on it but I liked the element of dimension it gave it doing it this way.

Hostess Gift

Thursday, August 7, 2014

Yesterday I had a private card making class with six lovely ladies. To be totally honest I haven't had one of these in ages so I was excited to jump back in to this fun event.

I thanked Janet for having the class and gifted her with this cute treat made using the Fry Box Bigz L Die (inspired by Nicole Tugrul)

Inside the Fry Box Bigz L Die is a package of the Regals Designer Buttons - perfect for adding to her cards. Janet, as the hostess also went home with not only the cards that she made at the class but the sample cards that I made during the demonstration as well. Based on her sales she also earned some FREE Stampin' Up! products. See how much fun it is to hostess a Private Card Making Class??!!

Special Order #3 Another Thank You

Saturday, December 7, 2013

This is the last card in my HUGE special order. She likes to send out a Thank you card at the month of when they became her client - kind of an anniversary card/thank you.

You may remember seeing this card a while back because we made it at one of my COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY CLASSES. It turned out so cute that I thought it would be perfect for making 100 cards. I used the TABLESCAPE KIT from the holiday catalog as well as the SWEATER WEATHER Designer Paper for the printed portion and then then stamped directly on it using the Photopolymer stamp set called ANOTHER THANK YOU. The flowers are from FLOWER SHOP and punched out with the PETALS PUNCH. I love how everything coordinates, right down to the In-color Dahlias

Now to see it all in the mass quantity...

Now that's a LOT of cards!

Gently Falling

Thursday, November 14, 2013

A few weeks ago we had our pictures taken with our grand kids in the beautiful Spring Grove Park. This is the park that I have taken many photos of my day care kids - especially in the fall when the leaves are beautiful and abundant. We started this tradition when Tyler was 18 months old so each year we can see how everyone has changed in the past year. So here are two cards that I made using the Birch paper that comes in the THANKFUL TABLESCAPE SIMPLY CREATED KIT #133463 $19.95 found on page 18 of the Holiday Catalog.
