Saturday night at home

I thought that this stamp set (Million Dollar Moments) was so neat from the first time I saw it.  But it seemed to also be a bit wistful, especially when you look at the the tilt of the heads on the geese.

Then, I couldn't help myself, I found some of the older Graphic 45 paper and had to make this card.

Class on 2/23

There were 8 of us last Saturday night and we made a number of cards.  We started off by using the scallop envelop sizzix die to make presentation boxes for some 3x3 cards.

People had two different types of cards to choose from.  The firt three shown here were made from the Stampin Up Moving Forward.


The second set of cards were made from Bloomin! Marvelous, a set available in the Sale-a-bration catalog (until March 22).







I think that my favorite of all six was this one....

 Then we made a fast and simple card that seemed quite effective using Midnight Muse ink on very vanilla card stock.  The Swallowtail Butterfly is familiar to everyone but I can't help showing yo what we did with it.




Our next card was using the Vine Street folder from Sale-a-brations along with the stamps and Framelits from the Secret Garden set.  Obviously this took a bit more time to put together, some folks decided to stamp their flowers and others cut out the flowers from printed paper.


It was fun to see how people put together the last card.  Bex put her flowers and ribbon on a diagonal.  This was the original intent, a bit less inspired ...
