Is it really almost the middle of July?!

I can't believe how the time has flown by!! Hosted my second class....the Butterfly Wings one and had 3 newbies come to this one.  It was wonderful and it was cool to see them learning new things and even putting their own flair on their projects!! The next class will be posted tonight or tomorrow...very excited for this one too.

For right now though I'd just like to share a birthday card I made for a very dear friend for his birthday, which we celebrated the day the family got back from England!!

For this simple but cute and okay for a man card I used some of the new "In Colors". I used Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Basic Grey. I ran the strips of cs through my big Shot with the new Chevron embossing folder then cut them and glued them on. And I used the brand new "Happy Hour" stamp set! Love this set..so much you can do with it!

Enjoy the sunshine and Happy Stampede Calgary!!

Back in the swing of things!

Wow...it has been too long since I've posted and shared projects. There was a tragedy in my family and it has been an emotional time, but  am getting back in the swing of things with my class planning and all this wonderful creative stuff.

I participated in my first swap with an incredibly talented group of demonstrators, my card was a bit late due to the circumstances, but I liked how it turned out. But I must say it was a bit more challenging than I has thought since I only had my starter kit of cardstock.

Supplies Used: Whisper White CS

Wild Wasabi Designer Paper

Baroque Motifs Stamp set

Chocolate Chip Ink Pad

Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon

Mini Library Clips

Tomorrow evening I will add the wonderful cards I received in the swap. But for tonight my second card is from my Upline Allison Okamitsu, welcoming me to the Stampin' Up family and with it she sent some goodies that I will be able to use to keep organized and to help with a future class or stamp group idea. Thanks Allison...YOU ROCK!

Have a great night,

Cathy
