September Calendar Workshop

Friday, September 11, 2009 - FULL
Time: 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Cost: $20.00

I used My Mind's Eye Garden Party Lush Blooms Clear Skies, Flower Stand & Happy Days Patterned Paper with Bazzill Apricot & Painted Desert Cardstock for matting & my journal box. The journal box stamp came from CTMH's Frame of Mind stamp set and was stamped with Stampin' Up's Tangerine Tango Ink Pad & journaled with Stampin' Up's Ruby Red Marker. To enhance my journal box, I punched out the photo corners using one of EK Success' newer medium photo corner punches. I used Making Memories Jumbo Silver Brads & Large Circle Metal Tag Rims to frame my photos of my daughter's back to school supplies. The decorative stiched swirls beside my 4 x 6 mat was pierced out using one of the Bazzill's Stitchz Formal Flourishes templates and stitched in with embroidery floss from my stash.

My page will be finished off on September 1st with photos of my daughter on her first day of school. On the top right photo in the bottom right corner, I plan on embellishing the photo with two 5mm Stamping Bella Hyacinth Bonbons.

August Calendar Workshop

Friday, August 28, 2009 - FULL
Time: 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Cost: $20.00

I used Scenic Route's North Shore Stoked Stripe & In The Tube Two-Sided Patterned Papers as well as My Mind's Eye Just Dreamy 2 Brilliant "All Star" Starburst/Green Deco Two-Sided Patterned Paper. I matted with Worldwin's Dark Terra-Cotta & Light Terrific Teal and threw in a scalloped rectangle piece of Light Heritage White Cardstock. For embellishments, I used Stamping Bella Glitter Sky & Glitter Pumpkin Donuts & Dots, Stampin' Up Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon & a Scrapbook Sally Large White Brad.

Throw it all together and you get a bright, cheerful summer page. Perfect for photos of my husband, Trevor, body surfing at our hotel on our mini summer vacation to Minneapolis.

World Card Making Day Workshop

The Snowman Card

For this card we will be paper piecing, drawing in stitches with a white pen and accenting with ribbon & Stamping Bella Bonbons.

The Snow Girl Card

For this card we will be random stamping on patterned paper, colouring with water colour pencil crayons, creating our own background paper with a CTMH foam tool and the Stampin' Up Colour Spritzer Tool. We will also be adding bling by using Stamping Bella Glitter Dots, rhinestones, Stickles & an ultra fine glitter dust.

The Penguin Card

For this card we will be paper piecing, adding dimension with liquid applique and having fun with the back fold that I like to do on a lot of my cards.

I have decided to change up my workshop schedule at DAT'S and I will no longer offer Open Workshops and in its place I will be offering a Card Workshop. I am trying to offer something different from what is already being offered in the store by my wonderful and very talented friends Ellena & Krista. So, my card workshop will normally be one card and there will not be a specific technique being taught. I am just going to design a card that I think will be fun to teach.

The above card is using Cosmo Cricket paper, one of the new Lulu stamps (Emma) from Stamping Bella, Stamping Bella Dots, punches, ribbon, brads, white flowers and a red re-inker to make the white flowers red. This card is great for any occasion.
