Elegant Bird Scrapbook page!

HI!
These scrapbook pages are ones I've CASED from our co-founder- Shelli Gardner's blog.

Her pages were 6x6 size with photos of her daughter Shanna's wedding.....I just loved them!  So here is my version of them on a 12x12 layout.
This is what I did at Phyllis's workshop.  

'Loving Thoughts'
cs:  So Saffron, Whisper White, Basic Black
Mocha Morning Specialty paper
First Edition Designer paper
ink:  Basic Black
marker:  Basic Black
supplies:  Elegant Bird die, Big shot, Stripes embossing folder, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch, Petite Pennants Builder punch, Antique Brads, Lace Ribbon Border punch, white twine, cooler spritzer tool, dimensionals

Here are a couple more close up pictures of the birds!






Gosh- this is cute enough that you could put it on a card too.

ENJOY!

Here is my 'Fresh Vintage' card!

Hi!   
Gosh- where did the week go?  I can't believe it is Friday already.  I am going to enjoy my day with all of my boys today!  Brayden is here already.   The twins will come after bit, as school is delayed for 2 hours this morning due to the snow.  

The snow is beautiful!!  The trees are covered & it is a winter wonderland out.  Not really what we need the end of February though.  Deke got up early & chored, cleaned off the driveways with his new skidloader & is on his way to a meeting in Davenport today, so hope they have good roads & safe travels. 

WOW!!  The rain & snow didn't stop our party last night.......Here is one of the cards we did at Phyllis's!  It is always such a fun time stampin' with my friends!  We all had a wonderful evening with lots of stamping, visiting & enjoying LOTS of yummy food!!  I think the girls all enjoyed the projects I shared. Everyone attending stamped 2 cards & then they also made a flower pin created with the Twitterpated fabric. I also demonstrated a 12x12 scrapbook page layout that I gave to Phyllis for her album.   
(*Note:  I will post pictures of the other projects in the next few days, so be sure to check back.)  

Black & white cards are so elegant.  This would make a pretty birthday card, wedding card, sympathy card, etc.  It has lots of possibilities.  

'Fresh Vintage' & 'Outlined Occasions' (both SAB sets)
cs:  Basic Black & Naturals White
ink:  Basic Black 
supplies:  Big Shot, Adorning Accents edgelits, perfect polka dots embossing folder, word window punch, paper piercing tool, mat pack, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 2 1/2 " circle punch, 5/8" black satin ribbon, champagne shimmer mist spray, dimensionals, basic pearls

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
My weekend is BUSY with stamp classes.  Tomorrow Marsha is having a workshop & Sunday Mary is having a workshop.  I am looking forward to sharing my love of stamping with them & their friends!

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Sneak Peek of a card we'll be stamping tonight at Phyllis's workshop using the Sale-a-bration set 'Fresh Vintage'!

Wahoo!!!  Tonight Phyllis is having a workshop!  She has alot of friends that will be joining us for a fun 'girl's night out!'  Now we pray that the weather stays decent.  It is raining now & we are on the line as to whether we get snow or just rain tonight.  Last year at her workshop it snowed TONS & it wasn't fun driving home for any of us.  Surely Mother Nature can't be that mean to us & hit us again this year for her party!

I have her projects created & will share them with you in the next few days.  Here is a sneak peek of one of the cards that everyone will be stamping tonight at Phyllis's party!

Enjoy! 
Happy Stamping!

'You're My Type'

I love this card!  I think that black & ivory are so elegant!  
This is a cute 'old fashioned' set from the Occasions Mini catalog.

She did one with this set & used the tag too.  I ran with her idea & changed it some.
