“J” Term part II

Tomorrow is the big day for my first “J” Term class. I’m excited to meet all the girls and have fun teaching them something that I truely enjoy doing. Sending cards is such a lost art what with emailing, texting and Facebook out there at the tips or our fingers, but it just seems to mean so much more when you get a card from someone who took time to make it themselves.

Here are two more cards that we will be making in tomorrows class…

INK: Versa Mark, Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana

Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Heat tool, 1/4” Certainly Celery, Eyelet Border Punch

Freedom Schools are big into soccer so I thought a soccer themed card was in order.

INK: Old Olive, Soft Suede, Basic Black

“J” Term

What a privilege it was for me to be asked to teach a card making class at Freedom Baptist School for their “J” term. I will have 10 girls in my class ranging from 7th-12th grade. I’m pretty excited about this chance to do more “teaching” than just the normal helping, etc. with the STAMP 10 Classes I have here in my home. The girls will be introduced to Heat Embossing, Masking, Two Step Stamping and much more. These are two of the cards they will be making on their first day. Another fun thing for me is that I can use some of our retired stamp sets which I cannot use during STAMP 10 since I cannot sell them.

New Years Day Wedding

A young couple from our church got married on New Years Day, and I was asked to make the cake!

They only needed a small cake for the bride and groom to cut so it was an easy task. It was also a labor of love since the mother of the bride is a dear friend.

Congratulations Nate and Katie!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I have been writing to my pen-pal, Becky, for 40 years now and this is the card that I sent her for New Years. And the sentiment I wrote on the front of her card is also the same sentiment I would share with you all. Have a wonderful New Year! I pray God’s richest blessings on you all and I also hope we will spend time with one another in a variety of ways over this next year 2010.

Blessings!
