Just over a week ago, I went down to Portland for a Stampin' up! Regional seminar. I really enjoyed myself even though I went absolutely alone. Usually I go with other demonstrators that I know, but this time, I knew not a soul. I found a table with 5 or 6 other demonstrators, 2 of whom were also alone... It was great to meet them. Part of the fun of seminars is when we trade cards or items. I have a few items to show you, but first I will show the card front I made.

I used the French Foliage set from the Holiday Mini, and watercolor crayons. I did all this the night before and actually put them together while we were driving down to Portland (actually Salem, where we stayed with family)
I will show a few more samples made with this set, they are absolutely gorgeous, and show such a variety of uses. Call me if you are interested in getting this set, I know someone who can hook you up! LOL
Happy Stamping!

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!
