Graduation (again!)

 
Yes, this is the “official” graduation week, but now it is all over!  My neice graduated from a local school last night, a very LARGE local school, so we were very late getting home.  I usually work on the blog late at night before I go to bed, but I was too tired last night!  [...]

Teacher Gifts and My Birthday!

 

Hello gang!  Yes, I am another year older……..and now have TWO high school daughters!  I am feeling young, but acting old — according to my teenagers, that is!  For some reason, my clothes and shoes have to pass inspection.  If they disappear into Lindsey’s closet, then I know that I have something that is REALLY [...]

Monogrammed Journal

Good morning!  Today’s post is another journal book.  These were made by Lindsey (with mom’s help) for her friends in her yearbook class.  They are a “tight-knit” group of eleven girls that have done some SERIOUS bonding this year.  She really wanted to make them a treat for the last day of school and this [...]

Graduation Card

Good morning!  Yesterday was Lindsey’s Middle School graduation.  She is now an “official” high school student!  I am feeling a bit older today, now that I have TWO high school kids!  This card was made for Lindsey and I am making a few more (in the appropriate school colors) for my neice and some other [...]

What a handsome boy!

Do you know who this is???  No, we did not get a new foster child, this is the same one!  He is sporting his new haircut and is so very handsome!  It was quite an experience for Charles and I, but it’s over now.  He is not bothered a bit by the “summer do” and [...]

Mimi’s Mini Album

I wanted to show you my little Mini Album that I made for my mom for Mother’s Day.  I was a little late getting it to her (because of our Florida trip) so I had to make sure she got it before I posted here and it ruined the surprise!  I know that I will [...]

Club Class Projects

As promised……..here are the projects from last night!  We had a blast, as usual, and had a delicious dessert called an Apple Nut Ring.  Thanks Sherry!!!! 
Project #1 was a miniature Composition Book embellished with a chipboard flower.  We inked the flower with Old Olive Craft Ink and embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder.   The paper [...]

Button Border

   
 
 
Ok…….so this isn’t the cheapest card to produce (unless you have alot buttons sitting around!) but I thought it was such a great layout!  I got this idea from Maria when I was in Florida and she actually got it from her upline Tami………gotta give credit where it is due!  So, I copied it [...]

Enjoy the little things!

Today’s cards are from our monthly Stampin’ Up! publication and the “A La Card” Template.  This monthly feature gives me a sample template that will work nicely for a variety of images and is quick and easy to demonstrate for a workshop.  I love this feature (among many others!) because it is very easy to [...]
