Guest Book Simply Scrappin' kit layouts

These two pages feature the new Silver Foil Smooch Spritz from SU. It has a lovely silver shine to it.

These two pages feature the Medallion and En Francais stamps and Basic Gray ink.

These two pages feature the patterns from Lynn Pratt's Wedding card. You can get a copy of it here.

This month's kit was the elegant Guest Book from Stampin' Up! It was perfect for me since I have my son's wedding in May. But it also lends itself well to anniversary, Communion, vintage, or just plan elegance.

SASSSC swap card with Summer mini

I made this card for the "Vehicles" card for the monthly SASSSC swap. It features the motorcycle stamp and new embossing folder that will be in the summer mini coming out next month. The dsp is from the winter mini called Night and Day.

Awash with flowers

This is the second card we did last weekend for stamp club. It features a brand new set that is available this month only from SU. It's really a neat set.

Vintage Nature

This is one of the three cards my club members made last weekend. I saw a layout in the April/May issue of The Stampers' Sampler. Susan Eubanks did some wonderful cards with this set and technique. She used glossy "book paper" which I guess means magazines. But none of my magazines had full pages of type that were suitable for stamping the image on, so I made my own with the En Francoise background stamp and glossy card stock. Stamp the words on the glossy first. Rub on color where the blooms will be. Stamp the image in versamark and clear emboss. Brayer over everything with Chocolate chip ink. Wipe off the excess ink and you're done!

Awash with Flowers card class

April card class featuring the brand new set Awash with Flowers. Make two of each design, that's 10 cards. The class fee of $40 includes the stamp set. E-mail to register for the class April 23 at 6:00.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Jaxon's first egg hunt. He quickly got the hang of putting the eggs in the basket.

I've been mooned by Zindorf!

Michelle's sample

My first zindorf card!

Here is Michelle "mooning" the class, lol!

Here's my moon.

This is how she keeps up with her class samples and steps.

This is called Le Jardin Bontanique on a golden lake.

I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get into the Dallas area Zindorf brayer class today! This is the first Texas class that I have seen on her calendar. I barely got in and she had a looooong waiting list. She did 4 classes, two yesterday and two today. She does a beginner and an advanced. I got into the beginner only, but I will keep an eye out for her to come my way again so that I can get into that advanced class. Michelle was so much fun and her class was too. We were all amazed by our end products. There were many aha! moments. I'm sure you have drooled over her cards and often wondered how she gets those wonderful effects with her brayer. Well there IS a technique to it. I can't wait to demonstrate it to my down/side line and club members. I will let you in on a secret though ......start off the paper!
