Our next workshop will be September 11th. We'll be doing lots of cutting and punching for these cute cards but you'll have to agree that they're pretty darn cute. The pumpkin card is made using the new Autumn Spice Designer Series Paper. It's extra thick and perfect for making any fall decorations for decorating your Thanksgiving table.

We've all fallen in love with the owl punch. It's very versatile and brings out the creativity in everyone. Owls are definitely the "hot" item this year. What a hoot!

Happiness Shared

Didn't this come out nice? It's a birthday card for the lady hosting a workshop tomorrow. It's not a combination I would normally think of but I did the flower first and then needed to come back with something to coordinate. I saw a similar red one online. I like the way it looks and may be trying to put Bashful Blue and Black together again. I like these new pearls we are carrying this year. I found them very easy to use although I had to dot glue and attach them, the adhesive wasn't cutting it.

Nature's Nest Zindorf Style

I saw this card on Michelle Zindorf's blog and couldn't resist attempting to make it. She has so much talent and imagination and I'm sure I'm not doing it justice but here's my attempt. I hope you like it.

Here are some nice, simple cards. This first one is using the Pink Flamingo DSP from the 2009-2010 idea book. I love the bright colors and I love the new greetings stamp set Word Play that I used on both cards.

Because I Care

Couldn't resist just one more Because I Care card. We're
finding this to be a very versatile stamp set. It's a Level 1 set so it won't be hard to earn if you host a workshop. Let me know if and when you're interested.

Dasher - Our first Christmas card of 2010

Our workshop this week will include the black and white votive candle birthday cake easel card (whew) and the Dasher Christmas card. There are going to be quite a few steps from start to finish on both these cards so be prepared to get creative. Look forward to seeing everyone bright and early Saturday morning.
