Ben's Camp Card

This is a card I sent to Ben while he was away at Boy Scout camp earlier this summer.  My sister and downline, Donna, helped me figure out how to cut and fold the cardstock to make the tent.  I paper pieced the bear using different shades of brown cardstock.  The sleeping bags were stamped on patterned paper and then cut out. Real twigs and hemp twine add the finishing touch!  Thanks for stopping by!

I DID IT!!!

I have been trying to post this photo for a few weeks, now, but I was having all kinds of problems with Blogger.  Emily has been away most of the summer, and the week she was home we just didn't have time to sit down and figure out what I was doing wrong.  Then, the other night I had an idea of what the problem could be.......today I finally had time to play......and, yes, I did figure it out...........all by myself!  Yeah, me!

Anyway, this is the 8th card from the Christms in July workshop Linda and I held at our church last month.  It is a shaker card, made using a treat cup from the Stampin' Up catalog.  It was one of the crowd favorites!  We had so much fun, that Linda and I are already planning another event on Saturday September 24th.  This time we will be meeting in the church's Fellowship Hall and we will have food!  So save the date, make plans to joing us, and keep checking back for more details.

Christmas In July Stamp A Stack - Part 2

This is the 4th card that I designed for the Christmas in July Stamp-a-Stack I am co-hosting with Linda Taylor on July 23.  Like all of my cards, it is SUPER EASY to make.  This one uses the Jolly Jingles Jumble Wheel.

 Linda designed these cards for our Stamp-a-Stack on July 23 at Hope Lutheran Church.  The smaller card is actually a gift card holder.  It's really cute, and a clever design that you will want to copy for any occasion.

This is another card designed by Linda.  She used the new Lace Ribbon Border punch.  LOVE IT!  You may not be able to see them, but each card has rhinestones on it.  If you RSVP and pre-pay for the Stamp-a-Stack by Sunday July 17th - you will get a FREE package of rhinestones to use on your cards.

Please contact me with any questions and to RSVP.

By the way, I completed this post without any help from my children!  Goes to prove, you can teach an old dog new tricks!  Now I may be able to post on a more regular basis.  I made a SUPER CUTE card to send to Ben at camp.  Check back in a day or two to see it!
