Please email me if you are interested in attending this workshop and I will be happy to provide you will all details. I have a limited number of spaces available, so please reserve your seat as soon as possible.

Dream Gardens

The challenge was to use the sketch and ribbon. I just had to use this beautiful ribbon. Isn't it so elegant? Paper is all from my scraps except the red and it is from Stampin' Up! as is the Dream Gardens stamp. I stamped the images with StazOn so I could color it in with Glitter Pens.

Razzleberry Tart

This is my interpretation of the Mojo Monday Week #97 Sketch Challenge. All papers are Stampin' Up fron the Razzleberry Tart Designer Series Paper. I used Old Olive ribbon and buttons. The medallion and corner embellishment were die cut on the Sizzix. SU punches used: Curly Label, Modern Label and Word Window. Sentiment is from the SU Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Bermuda Bay

All paper is from Stampin' Up! I have used the new In Color cardstock and designer paper in Bermuda Bay. The punch I used for the sentiment (from SU Fresh Cuts, stamped in Tempting Turquoise) is Modern Label. The butterfly was cut and embossed in a Sizzix. Same for the leaves (Sweetest Stem) and the Daisies. Buttons are SU Designer Buttons from the Sherbet Collection. Ribbon is SU Polka-Dot Grosgrain in Bermuda Bay.

Lovely Flowers

All papers are Stampin' Up's Lovely Flowers Designer Series paper. Stamps used are SU Friends 24-7 and the new Fresh Cuts. Punches used are from SU, Curly Label and Modern Label. The stem of flowers was colored using SU Writer Markers.

Riot of Petals

Well, I fell in love with this stamp. My Stampin' Up demonstrator, Sandi MacIver of Portland Oregon tracked it down for me (Thanks Mucho Sandi). She had sent me a card with this stamp on it a while back and I had a fit, I loved it so much. I received it in the mail on Friday and just couldn't wait to stamp it. So much so that I stamped and embossed it with Gold Glitter Embossing Powder 7 times so I would have many to choose from in the future. Brilliant by itself, but I decided to color in the dessign. Absolutely stunning isn't it. I topped it off with the Dream stamp from the new Dream Gardens set from SU and tied it all up with a ribbon. It's a fav of mine!

Shabby Chic

I have had this idea in my head for some time. Isn't it just beautiful. I knew that it was very wide and not for just any old card, that it would be a special card that could take this ribbon. When I saw that the challenge was to use button and bows....I knew exactly what ribbon I was going to use. I think this card turned out to be so special. Nothing like I have seen anywhere. So, here's the construction. Designers papers (Nouveau Chic) stamp (Friends 24-7, embossed with gold glitter embossing powder) and hardware are from Stampin'Up (of which I have just become a demonstrator YEA!). Card is 8.5 x 11 folded in half (I covered the front and inside with the SU designer paper). Then about a inch and a half taken out of the upper third. I sliced that portion out with a deckle edge cutter. I attached the hardware to the top and bottom sections of the card on the edges in a way that connects the two pieces of the card together. I used a very tacky glue and had to let it dry for about and hour. Then I threaded the ribbon through and tied it in a huge bow and added buttons as an accent. Friends is a rub-on. I think it looks very shabby chic.
