I promised some of my stamp club members I would post these cards after the class. Hope you find some inspiration from them.

Rock Star

I love it when I make a card for the guys. I never have enough of them!

This card was a case, but I added the dsp from Love Letters.

Stamp set is Grunge Rock and Extreme Guitar. I found these nailhead adhesive stickers at Hobby Lobby. Colors are: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla

Spooky Coasters

These are the coaster decorations that the SASSSC girls made at the Diva Retreat. Each was given a package that contained 6 4x4 coasters, the letters to spell out "spooky" that were die cut with the big shot, and one embossed spider web. Everyone used their own paper and additional embellishments. I think they turned out fantastic! I want to thank the designer of this idea, who ever you are!

Since I had already made a "spooky" set, I decided to make a "merry" set at the retreat.

SASSSC Weekend

The Diva's

The SUV was loaded to the top. Lynn and I rode with Adriana. We all had projects to bring for the group to make, plus our luggage, garage sale items, party bags for the Divas, and all our supplies. We thought it would be better going home, but it was just as packed!

High Tea

Crafting Divas

Group shot Sunday morning on the porch

What a wonderful time was had at the SASSSC retreat at Premier Estates in Wallis, Texas. 10 of the SASSSC ladies were able to go. The planning committee had 5 projects planned. The theme for the weekend was Diva. We presented each member with a pink tiara to wear for the weekend and we named all the meal times with a "royal" title, such as Dinner at Buckingham Palace, the Royal Ball, Lunch at the Pub, the Queen's Brunch and High Tea. Many of us also squeezed in a shopping trip to Archivers before and after the retreat!

Butterfly Shadowbox

Warning: SASSSC girl spoiler alert. Go no further!

I have wanted to do something with a flight a butterflies so ages. When I saw this idea at designsbybrooke.blogspot.com I knew I had to CASE it. I got the 8x8 shadowbox frame at Michael's...ON SALE...yeah! The whisper white card stock is 6 x 6. I used all the new in colors plus saffron and bashful blue.

Getting Ready for Open House

It's been awhile since I've posted. Last month I went on a 7 day cruise with family and friends. Then my parents stayed over a week afterwards, so I have been unable to stamp until they left. Now I am busy, busy, busy getting ready for a customer appreciation Open House that I am participating in with my fellow demonstrators. If you are in the Houston area, drop by the Windsor Hills Clubhouse on 242 off I45 just north of The Woodlands, Texas, this Saturday September 11 from 10-2. There will be lots of demonstrations, a used stamp store, lots of displays so bring your camera. There will also be a make and take, but you need to rsvp immediately to be able participate in that. I'll be demonstrating some neat projects using The Big Shot!

Princess Ensemble

I love making these fleece flowers. If you don't know how, Tami White has a wonderful video tutorial on You Tube. I made some with hair clips on the back that I found at JoAnns. I wanted to make headbands and finally found these really nice headbands at Party City this week. They also come in purple.

I saw a crown and wand that someone had made and displayed at the SU convention this year. I loved and so had to make my own. I used the In Color DSP pad, Silver Glass Glitter, and Pearls from the Pretties kit and the jewels.
