Handsome Aaron page

Hello and welcome!

This was a BIG year for my family. And one of the fun events was Aaron dressing up in a tux and going to his high school prom.

The wooden compass and beautiful chipboard leaves are by Creative Embellishments. The layout was inspired by the colors and leaves in Creative Embellishment's mood board. The pattern papers are by Graphic 45. This page is based on a sketch by Sketch N Scrap.

Felt Stamped Coffee Card

Hello and welcome!

Once a month I am lucky enough to be able to craft with an amazing group of women. Last Saturday was the all day crop with over 60 women (and one gentleman) attending! Most of us follow Stamp Junkies, but there are many other types of crafters there as well.

At this event, Sue Doherty, from Therm-o-web, joined us and did a fun make-n-take showing us how to stamp and embossing on their crafting felt. The background of this card is Therm-o-web's white felt on which I stamped Simon Says Stamp's Fun & Festive Outline Snowflakes stamp. Therm-o-web's felt is backed with paper and is super easy to work with.

I finished off the card by adding Simon Says Stamp's Coffee Cup and Hello die cuts plus a few snowflakes by The Cat's Pajamas.

If you are in the St.Paul, Minnesota area and want to join us, all crafters are welcome. We usually meet the first Friday of the month from 6pm to 11pm at St. John Vianney Church, 19th and Bromley in South St.Paul. If you have any questions just leave them in the comments.

Cup of Christmas Cheer Card

Hello and welcome!

It is supposed to snow here in Minnesota tomorrow, which is really early for us. So to embrace the weather, I thought I'd make a snow filled card.

I used the following dies by The Cat's Pajamas: Snowflake Lace Paper, Cups Duo and Heart Swirl. The sentiment is from TCP's Bunny Christmas stamp set and was embossed with Ranger's Princess Gold embossing powder.

Coffee Awesome Card

Hello and welcome!

One of my dearest friends' husband, Darren, custom roasts coffee beans for her coffee. Recently they were kind enough to share these heavenly beans with me. OMG the coffee was so smooth and delicious. I just had to sent Darren this thank you card:

The cup and sentiment are by Paper Smooches. Robin's Nest drops were also added.

Ai Be Merry Card

Hello and welcome!

Love the Art Impression's Girlfriends sets. They usually feature 4 ladies which is the number in my "small gang!" We are all card makers and love to create cards featuring The Girlfriends and sending them to each other. This one is going to Roxie.

Our gang is really into watercoloring right now, so this Art Impressions image was colored with Zig watercolor markers.
