A little sweet Christmas card

 
I was going through my box of Christmas cards that I have made and I found this little guy.
 
I just love this one.  This card has been in my box for several years and just haven't ever sent it out.
Maybe it is meant for me and the hubby.
I do have alot of teal in the Christmas decorations!
 
I hope you enjoy seeing the cards I make too.  I just haven't been in the mode to do as many this year, so I continue to dig through my class samples.  And hoping that they are love at their new homes this year.
 
Happy Stamping!

Playing with new stuff!

I'm like a kid in the candy store, which items should I buy?
I received my shipment of Close to my Heart catalogs.  Isn't it pretty?
Would you like a copy?  Just send me an email and I will send it to you for FREE.

Well I knew right away that I needed this stamp set.


Why you ask?  Well here is a peek at what I decided to do with it last night.
And so many ideas are going thru my heads for next month's card classes.


Here is a close up.

I basically scribbled with a copic marker, spritzed it with
Copic blender solution and when it was dry
stamped this beautiful rose.

I hope that you join me at my card class or book a class for your friends.

Happy Stamping

June's CTMH card class



Yesterday I had so much fun with my stamping group.  I am so lucky to have a nice group of ladies come to my house each month.  We catch up, eat great snack and have a blast making cards and crafty things.

This month we made some fun summery cards for this month.


This cute little whale came from CTMH stamp set Under the Sea (C1500).  We used Copic markers to color him in.  Nice simple card to get the girls started with.

Next we moved on over to this card.  Great way to use up scraps of paper.  We used the CTMH paper pack Footloose (X7151B) and CTMH retired Thank you stamp set (D1316).



And I always have a super simple bonus card...just punch circles and away we go!

But remember to look at yesterday's post for the last card with the birdie.  Overall the class was a success and everyone loved their cards.  Next month we are going to do something vintage!

Remember tomorrow is my Christmas card Friday and you will see how I used this same paper pack and made a holiday card!

See you tomorrow!

Stampin Sunday


Happy Sunday!  I had a great day yesterday at the crafter yard sale over at Pickled Tink.  It is a shame that the store is closing.  But good news they are going to continue teaching classes at another location.  Overall, yesterday I got sun and made some MAD money!

Here is the CTMH class sample from last week's class.  They got to play with the NEW Cricut cartridge, only available from CTMH, go check it out...HERE.  We made two, but I can't find the other sample!  Go figure...totally trashed my classroom trying to grab stuff for the sale.
Anyways, we made tissue holders and matching cards.  It was so fun to get together with my Sparks girls.  And everyone was excited over the new CTMH catalog.  Which you can go see that over at my blog...HERE.

Have a happy Sunday - Judy

Supplies: CTMH flower pot stamp set, CTMH Mayberry paper pack, Copic markers, AND

CSAYL - Gimme the Bird


I love a play on words and this week is!  The CSAYL challenge this week is "Gimme the bird" which is meaning somewhere in your creation there needs to be a bird.

I chose to use this fancy bird from Pink Cat Studios.  It's not a Christmas images but my wild little mind thought it would be great to color it green and red.  And do you love those cute little flowers?  They are from a new Cricut cartridge made for CTMH, which  is sold  through my website for that).

So this week's challenge should be fun, why don't you join us at CSAYL!

Happy Friday! - Judy

CSAYL - Christmas ornaments anyone?

Oh these are so fun!  The other day I was walking around World Market, and this particular day I was not in the wine section (hehehe)...I just love looking at the cooking things.  I have no idea, I'm not much of a culinary person.  I think I'm a closet culinary chef, but reality is I can't live without my crockpot!!
Well back to wandering...I found these cute little tart pans for $1.49  and was sure I could do something with them.  Upon getting home I discovered that there is already a drilled little hole in them, which makes them ideal for hanging.  Christmas ornaments are such a cute little way to say Merry Christmas.

This week at CSAYL we challenge you to make something (card or other) using cardstock.  So my big challenge was to NOT use patterned paper.  This week's sponsor is Pink Cat Studios, you should check out their rubber and digital stamps.  OR better yet join our challenge and maybe you will be our next winner!  That would be awesome!

So I hope you have a happy Friday and tomorrow I will share a sewing project that was done this week!

Happy Stamping - Judy

CSAYL - color inspiration this week.




I just love color inspiration challenges!  I hope you do too.
This week CSAYL challenge is...



With those colors I just knew I needed to do a snowman. 
The snowman on the card and dishtowel was stitched with my embroidered with
my sewing machine and then colored in with Copic markers.
The card sentiment was a CTMH stamp, stamped with Memento ink pad.

So if you would like to have a chance to play on our Design Team at CSAYL, join in or our color inspiration challenge over at the CASYL blog.
We would love to have you join.

Have a happy Friday!

A happy bird

What a cute happy bird!
This week-end after my class I continued to make embroidered cards.  Here (above) is where I stitched the outside on the design and colored it in with Copic markers. I'm just a happy bird that I can make
this card super fast with my sewing machine.  So I decided that this week I will try to make several of these cards to have around the house for all occasions.

Here is the design when it is stitched up, I have two options...


So this was my little project for the week-end stitching cards and dishtowels while I assigned my hubby to a project...
I painted an accent wall in my kitchen ORANGE!

Here is a peek!
OK...it looks a little bright, but the adjoining walls are light blue.  Just think orange, blue and white...the guy and Home Depot said the color were very feng shui.  So I'm hoping for a happy place, Rooster looks happy!  I read a HGTV article about decorating with orange and have some great ideas.  We have more walls to paint and I'm making the cornices for the slider and kitchen window, I hope to have it completed by next week-end!  Well off to make some baby books today for the neighbors and grand babies.

CSAYL - Babes in Toyland

What is your favorite memory from childhood Christmas's?
I have always loved that time of the year because everyone loves to share their baking.  And what would Christmas be without cookies?  Do you have a family cookie recipe?  Did you bake with your mom or dad?  My dad was the one who taught me how to cook and bake.
AND I am so thankful to have a daughter who loves to bake, her oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the BOMB!  (BTW she is making them today for my Saturday stamping class).

So this week's challenge for CSAYL is to make a card for a child.  Wouldn't this card look so cute with a BIG
Gingerbread cookie?

So join us over at CSAYL and make a card for the child in your life.

Happy Friday!
Judy

Many thanks

This card is for those of you who still visit my blog.  I just wanted to thank you for leaving kind comments. 

I know that my blog is going thru a little transition...paper one day, then sewing projects and then who knows whats next.  I have many hats (CTMH, papercrafting DT assignments, sewing, crochet) and now I'm going to try working part-time at the local quilt store.  I'm not sure if working at the quilt shop will get me where I want to be but I will be thankful for any additional knowledge and the extra spending money won't hurt either.

I hope you stick around to see what will come next!

CTMH, Copics and a little fun!

Once a month I teach a workshop in my home.  This month theme was to use CTMH stamps and paper, Copic markers and a touch of vintage inspiration.  Generally when I think of vintage cards I think of lace, fabrics, soft color palletes and stitching.  What do you think of?

Well my main goal was, to get the girls over their fear of sewing on paper.  I gave them the opportunity to sew with my new machine, which they just let me do it.  But next month they will be using my machine...I'll share that later in the post.  Right now I will show you another card or two.
Very simple card, but love the effect.


So a few eaamples of what my monthly Sparks group does...
if you want to join us please drop me an email.

Next month we will be making a dish towel and matching card, using my embroidery machine and Copic
Markers!

Happy Wednesday!

Love Generously


Good morning!  I'm off to do errands and making my list of all the goodies I need to pick up today.
So I thought I would stop by and share a card that I made yesterday.  I'm having so much fun
sewing on my cards, you can see the stitching slightly around the edge of the card and tag.
I used JUST 3 Copic markers to make this card!  BG10, BG11 & YR23...I love using the the BG family.
Super simple card that you can make too.

I'm thinking of picking up some more paint, like I need more in my craft room...
what can I be making?

Have a FAB day! - Judy
