Two cards from our last club meeting.


Kim did a great job of coming up with projects for our club this month. She wanted to do an easel card but wasn't sure of the measurements, so she created her own. It was fun to make and I think it is cute.



This is another card we made using the DSP from the new mini catalog and two of the new punches.

My next demo meeting swap

I am trying to have my swaps ready well before our demo meetings each month. I have been successful the last two months. Here is my swap for our February meeting. Hope you enjoy.

Valentine Cards


Here is a copy of the card I made for a swap at our upcoming demo meeting. The piece with the ribbon is a bookmark made from a Sizzix die. These cards were fun to make and I hope my fellow demo's enjoy them


Here is another of my Valentine cards. I am trying to add more layers to my cards and I am using the embellishments I have been savings. I'm not sure why I have ordered and then saved the embellishments, but it is now time to share them with others. Thanks for looking today.

Birthday cards for 2010


These are two of the Birthday cards I made for my friends with birthdays this month.  I like the pinwheel embellishment and it is fun to do. The options of paper and bling are endless.


This is a card for my "sister's" birthday. It uses a stamp from the Well Scripted set and brads from the Sending Love epoxy brads which are in the new Occasions Mini catalog.

I bought the clear mount stamp set and it is a joy to use because you can see where you are placing the stamp. The brads are actually real red but they blend well with the Melon Mambo paper and ink. I like the contrast with the Melon Mambo and the black card stock and I have been using it a lot lately.

Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for looking...Michelle

Just a few more of the cards I have been making the last few days. I have been using the embossing folders to add more texture to my cards. Thanks for looking.

Here are a few more of the cards I have been making. I thought some subtle colors would be nice and they were fun to make. I enjoy adding chrystal affects and glitter for added interest.

Cards for the New Year



It is time to start making cards to have on hand for all occasions. I am having a good time with Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip card stock. I included some Thoroughly Modern designer series paper and used the Of The Earth stamp set. Hope you enjoy.

My Christmas Tree 2009


I thought I would share a pic of our Christmas tree enjoy. Enjoy. Merry Christmas to you all.

Demo meeting exchange

Isn't this star wonderful. This is another of the exchange gifts from our December demo meeting. The creators did say it took a lot of time to pick the papers and get them to fit. I think it was worth all their effort and so did the recipient.

Decor Elements Gift


The picture doesn't do this gift justice. This is a picture made by Terry Blais, my upline. She combined Designer Series Paper and Decor Element Christmas Ornaments and made a wonderful picture as her gift for our demo meeting gift exchange.

My Christmas Gift from December demo meeting

This is the wonderful gift I received at our December demo meeting. The basket is handmade out of SU! cardstock and it looks just like a Longeberger basket. The basket was also filled with adorable ornaments made out of SU! designer series paper. I think it is adorable, don't you?

This is one of the cards I will be sending out to friends this year. I added a bit to an earlier card to dress it up. Hope my friends enjoy it.

Thank You Card


I enjoy making these pin wheel cards because they are fun to make and the pin wheels can be used on most any card.  I used the SU! Shimmer Paint, from the Occasions Mini catalog, on the band at the bottom of the card. I use this paint a lot because it adds such a nice finishing touch to cards.

Holiday Season

Here is a card I made at a recent stamp group. It is a fun card to have on hand to include with a nice baked item to give a friend for Christmas.
