A card for MOM

Wanted to share a few cards that I created last night using the freebies found at Rhonna Farrer's Blog HERE.  I used both of the freebies, when using the banner freebie I simply cut out some of the banners and made them into strips.  Also, some of the cards have the cute round pieces found on the banner freebie. I simply reduced them to a size I wanted then hit the print button did some cutting and inking and gluing.  I did grab some vintage sewing patterns, ribbon and extra embellishments I had on hand from the line "the girls paperie" by Margie Romney-Aslett.  On a few of them I used a Mother's day stamp and punch from Stampin Up and I think they turned out adorable and so easy to make! 

I don't have kids so I will be celebrating my mom, sister and sister-inlaw this Sunday.  I am actually hosting a luncheon for them, nothing fancy mind you.  The hubby will be grilling burgers and for dessert I plan on having an ice-cream Sundae bar, yum!  I will of course use more of Rhonna's freebies to decorate, I have a banner started already.  I will be sure to post photos hopefully Sunday night.

 Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms!

If you click on the photos they will come up in a larger size for you.

The card below was simply printed inked and a little bit of stickles added for some bling.

Another Look at Spark 2010

Hi there! I am taking us back to September 2010 when I attended Spark the Event in Lindon, UT which is just outside of Salt Lake City.  I will be going back this October for Spark No. 3 and I guess you could say I'm trying to entice you in coming along!  They will be posting info over the next few weeks so keep checking as last year they sold out and I'm sure they will this year too!

And I'm also excited to share with you that I will be helping out the Spark Gals by moderating the online Spark the Event Yahoo group for those attending.  We are going to have a blast even before Spark arrives and once you get there it will be like you have known your fellow Spark girls for evah!

Go check out Spark the Event HERE and you will always find a button on my left sidebar so you can click there to go to the site as well. Hope you enjoy my little video ;)

Second Chance Challenge - Sketchy Thursdays

OK, I'm on a roll creating for myself today with the help of Sketchy Thursdays who has teamed up with the Jingle Belles!  I haven't written two posts in the same week much less the same day in some time!

The ladies at Jingle Belles Rock came up with a great idea of creating Christmas cards using their sketches all year long! Not sure if I can participate consistently but sure would be awesome if I could so that I would have all my Christmas cards ready for the 2011 Christmas holiday!

Go HERE to learn more and play along with the challenge if you can!

And here is my submission using some of my favorite papers and stamp for sentiment from the girls' paperie designed by Margie Romney-Aslett

Toil and Trouble a la The Girl's Paperie!

Hi friends! Wanted to share with you a necklace I created last night, but before you say WOW how did she think of that...... I must first tell you that this necklace was inspired by one similar to the one that Margie Romney-Aslett designed for her 2010 Creative Escape class.  She will be teaching her necklace first weekend of December at By Design incase you are interested go check HERE.  I am signed up to take all her classes, can't wait!  I'm lucky enough to call her my friend and fellow Spark Sister! Spark? What is Spark? If you don't know check out my sidebar for the Spark Button or click HERE you should come next year to Spark No. 3! They haven't announced the dates yet but believe me you don't want to miss it!

If you just want to buy the kit for Margie's CE necklace you can find it HERE at Scrapp'n Savvy, Karrie has extra kits and the CE Book with photos of all the classes!  I'm teaching Pam Black's class on Nov 9th at 6:30pm and we still have room ;)

OK, so now on to my necklace, I created it last night using some items from the October Kit from The Girl's Loft, a fabulous Kit club you can find that HERE!  I had so much fun creating it and it didn't take too long to do! I promise to come back and give you more info on supplies but you can find Margie's line at Scrapbook.com HERE just search for The Girl's Paperie she has lots of lovely stuff!!  I used some things I already had on hand to create some of the pieces. 

Photos for you to feast your eyes on....

I almost forgot to mention that I used Halloween Photo frames from the House of 3 you know how much I love those gals!

If you have any questions just drop me a line or leave a comment and I will get back to you, as always thanks for stopping by! Hugs from Conroe, TX!
