Good Morning!

Boy Nov. is almost already half over! I have some new classes to announce and dates. I am going to be having a Card Buffet, which is $10.00 to attend and then for each card you make it is $1.50. Which means if you see a card and you want to make more than one of it you can, unlike in class where you make one card of each design. I will be including some of our past cards that we have made in classes but there will be new ones also. The Buffets will take place on:

Wed. Nov. 19th from 10:00 - 4:00
Sat. Nov. 22nd - 10:00 - to 4:00

You can come for the entire time or come for just awhile. Come during those times on those dates. Bring a lunch and come socialize. This is my first one, so I'm sure there will be some "bugs" that will have to be worked out. I have tried to accommodate a gathering for those gals who don't work and also for those gals who do and can only do a weekend
I have also added a 10 Tags/Mini cards class for:
Dec. 1st - Monday 11-2
Dec. 6th - Sat. - 10-1

More details later
Enjoy this cool weather

Here are the cards that we did in the August classes.

 The cards made in class had the Melon Mambo square smaller and better in proportion.

 This was another quilt card that was made with Sweet Taffy DSP., as well as Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow cs.

 This was the Flower Patch stamps using the new In Colors ink.

 This was my favorite this month.  It is a Twisted Easel card using a retired stamp set, Gently Falling, but using all the new In Colors.

Those who attended the May Hostess Club workshop and my Open House had the opportunity to make some of these.

Oh Wow!!  can't believe it has been so long since I posted on this.  I will really try and keep this up better :-)

I'm going to post some pictures of cards that  we made in the April and May class.

 This was done using the Fancy Fan embossing folder and Strawberry Splash cs.

 This was a star quilt pattern using the swiss dot embossing folder.

This is a Waterfall card using Melon Mambo embossing powder and the Petite Petals stamp set.  Also used Melon  Mambo and Very Vanilla cs.

 This is an "S" fold card using Crisp Cantalope cs and DSP along with whisper white.  All Occasions  paper piercing pack was used on the white oval.



These were the cards that we made in May for the classes.

 Thoughts and Prayers stamps were used here on Pistachio Pudding cs, along with Melon Mambo cs and ink.

 Summer Silhouette stamps were used and fussy cut out to help the card look 3-D effect.

Summer Silhouette was used here again with Rich Razzleberry csm ink and DSP.  Also used the Scallop Tag topper punch.

 We used two step stamping with the Stippled blossom stamps and soft blue ink and melon mambo ink and cs.

We had so much fun making this card at our Hostess Club gathering this month.  There was so much laughter and fun conversation.  Afterwards we did a salad lunch where we bought our favorite salads to share with each other.  Another fun gathering :-)

These are two sympathy cards that I made for some dear friends that last loved ones just recently.
