Longing for Warmth

Today the sun is shining brightly and I have a longing for warmth. I know it is only January and where we live, we are in for a good bout of winter yet. Good thing that 2 weeks from now I will be sitting on the beach in Puerto Vallarta! I really do like the winter, snow etc, but always right after the holidays, it is nice to have sunshine and warmth. (have to get up on the ski hill a few more times too, so winter can't be over yet ;)


Today I have a bright coloured card to share... I love how the Gable Green and Pretty in Pink look together. I had pieces of the "scallops" from the scallop tutorial left over and used them here. I also used the Level 3 Hostess set "Time Well Spent", coloured using Gable Green and Pretty in Pink. The brads are also Gable Green from the "Bold Brights" brads.


There, now I feel warm again!

Thinking Pink for a few minutes

A friend had a baby girl so I had an excuse to work with the pink colours for this card. Again it features the retired "Bundle of Joy" and I also used my cuttlebut for the textured hearts. The base of the card is Regal Rose and the accent is Pretty in Pink. Someone asked how I am getting my "watermark" on my photos. I am creating it each time I edit my photos so I am not really using a "watermark" as such. Difficult to explain because I don't really know what I am doing. I use Photoshop CS2...

Class Preparations

Every year I am asked to do a "Christmas Craft" with the ESL students at our local college. Usually there are around 20 students but this year there is 40! Wow... a little nervous about this but it should work out. My plan is to have them create a "votive holder" and a Christmas card that they can either give to their host family or take/send home to their own families. Usually they want to keep it themselves though as they are very excited to have created something so cool with their own hands. This post shows this years votive holder which features the Hostess Set: Perfect Presentation. The cardstock is Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate. Enjoy!
