Texas Album Class

Howdy blogging friends.

Today I want to share a peek of an
upcoming class I have at the Crafty Scrapper in
Waxahachie, TX. People have been asking for this 
class for a while and I finally found the perfect papers to
work with and put it together.

We will be using the Bo Bunny Anthem papers and embellishments 
for this super fun Texas License Plate Album.

I made a display album for the store last year and have been getting
requests for a class every since. So here it is. Sign up soon, because
spaces are going quick. We may add a second class a little later this 
fall, but I am not sure when. 

If you are not local and would like a kit, contact the store
directly and they will put you on the list. 

If you would like a peek at my other Texas Album
it is here.

Well what are you waiting on? Stop on by and say hi!

Have a great evening!

Happy Memorial Day!

~*~*~*~*~
Happy Memorial Day!
~*~*~*~

I hope that you and yours have a wonderful 
holiday tomorrow! We will be grilling out with the kids tomorrow 
afternoon - just spending time with them now that they
are grown is something we don't get as often as 
we would like.

Please remember our soldiers who are sill overseas
fighting for the freedom we take for granted everyday.

May they all come home to their 
families safe and sound.

 So, I was a Girl Scout Leader for 16 years, and this one campout - no one
 brought a camera. Seriously. How did that happen???
My papers are Best Creations, Core'dinations, and some scraps that I can't identify.
My punches are from Fiskars: border punch, large star and small star. 
I used a stamp set I have had for YEARS to stamp the blue cardstock
 before I punched it, another set down used, yes!
I have also used Thickers, Buttons Galore & More, and the title is from Paper Wizard.


Be sure to join us for the Punches challenge, you have

Please keep the folks in OK in your thoughts and prayers
I just saw that the tornado threw there was 2 miles wide!!

Today I have a DT project for Just For Fun Stamps
using more of the new stamps released this spring.

I love flamingos - so I was really happy to see on in
the spring release!! 

 Nice flamingo, huh? :o) 
I have used the following images for my card 
All my papers are from Basic Grey, cardstock is Bazzill. I have also used
bling: Recollections, ribbon: Stampin' Up, die: Spell Binders,

smaller sections to use here. I used my sewing machine as well
 as faux stitching on the card.

December Daily 2012 w/ Kaisercraft

Good afternoon to all my blogging buddies!

house - it is so quiet. Just me, the cats, and the dogs :)
The hubs is working a special event all weekend and DD2
is out with a friend. Lot's of time in the studio!! 

I just realized that I have a project I never posted here on the 
blog- a class I did last fall for The Crafty Scrapper
a fabulous little December Daily using Kaisercraft papers.
Someone who purchased a kit is working on it
and needed the photos, which is how I came to realized 
they were not here!

There are lots of photos!



 







This little book was so much fun and all my classes had a 
great time doing it.
