Here is a Sneak Peek of my 'All Occasions' card class!!

HI!

WOW- What a busy week again stamping for me!!  

Sale-a-bration time keeps me on my toes literally with creating & doing lots of workshops & stamping!
I JUST LOVE SHARING MY LOVE OF STAMPING!

I wanted to share today.....

Here is a sneak peek of my upcoming 'All Occasions' card class.

This is an annual event that I look forward to doing each year.

 I know that many of my customers look forward to it too!

This year I've got some new gals signed up to join us, so that is exciting! 
I'm looking forward to meeting them.   

I will spend every spare minute this week stamping & cutting & won't get much sleep!
(On Sunday I will crash!)

But can't wait to share with those of you that signed up for this awesome class.  

If you didn't sign up you won't want to miss out on this class next year. 

So what do you think?  They are all cute huh!

Now to keep my mojo going so I can come up with the rest of the cards for this class.
I am also doing all of the food for this class too.
So have to be done with my cards & all of the class by Friday so I can cook all evening.
We are having yummy BBQ pork sandwiches, cheesy hashbrown potatoes, 7 layer lettuce salad, chocolate chip bar cookies & HOPEFULLY some shamrock sugar cookies stamped with our new cookie press. 

EXCITING NEWS: 
We welcomed a new member to our family earlier this morning.
My nephew Ben & his wife Jenna were blessed with a baby boy-
Lawson Daniel Schmidt.
Everyone is doing well.
Can't wait to meet him!! 

Hope you have a great day!
It is going to be another beautiful day with sunshine & temps in the 70's again. 
Spring looks like it is here.....
the grass is greening, flowers & plants are coming up in my yard.
YIPEE!

ENJOY!

Happy Stamping!

Love this little bunny! It is such a cute Easter card.

HI!  Here is a cute pocket card!
This was one of the make & takes everyone did at my workshops last week.
It was so fun to make!

I like the bright/springy colors.  

'Everybunny' & 'Blessings from Heaven'

cs:  Crumb Cake, Pool Party Calypso Coral, Watercolor Paper

Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper (SAB)

ink:  Chocolate Chip

markers:  Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral

supplies:  Blender Pens, mat pack, paper-piercing tool, dimensionals, glue dots, scallop trim border punch, large oval punch, modern label punch, 2011-2013 In Color assorted brads, Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon

I am not a very good watercolorer- but thought this card turned out good.  

I was very lucky & did have the opportunity to get to watch & learn about watercoloring from my amazing demonstrator friend Diana Gibbs, when we were both at Founders in St. George, Utah, last fall.

 I learned so much from Di about this technique.  

She loves to watercolor & does an outstanding job at shadowing & such.

NOTE:

I do know that the watercolor paper is so much easier & better to work with than any other card stock when doing this technique.  

If you don't have watercolor paper you can use the Naturals Ivory & Naturals White- but they don't let you blend your colors like the watercolor paper does.  

 Do NOT use Whisper White or Very Vanilla to try to watercolor with, as the paper bubbles & looks yucky when it gets too wet.

Stampin' UP! products used to watercolor with are-

Watercolor crayons, ink pad lids, watercolor pencils & markers 

which can be used with blender pens or aqua painters. 

I hope you find time to try watercoloring sometime soon!

ENJOY!!

Happy Stamping!
