Christmas Card #7

Brandee Pittenger lead our unit meeting's project this month. 

 We made this cute card that is a gift card holder.

 We took the 6"x12" piece of cardstock and scored it every 3",

 then decorated as shown.

  I forgot to take the picture of the gift card holder I put on the back. It was made by folding the 4"x 4 3/4" Colonial CS in half, punching a finger slot, gluing the ends so you can insert the gift card, then adding it to the back of the card.

Supplies:
5 1/2 x 2 1/2 Fern cs
 3- 5 1/4 x 2 1/4 colonial white cs
Fern ink
Watercolor pencils
Tombow blending pen

I'm back from Album Retreat

I'm back from an outstanding three days in Salt Lake City and "Close to My Heart's" fabulous Album Retreat.  My dear friend, Linda and I checked into the Radison about 5:00 pm on Thursday and immediately went to check-in for the retreat along with 200 other women excited to get busy creating our beautiful albums.  Our retreat's theme was "My Story".  During the next two days we created 23 pages in our album.
 Stacey Jillian spoke  on Friday morning about the importance of telling our own stories, and how to go about doing just that.  I can't wait to share some of my layouts with you, but first I need to share them with my team tomorrow night at out monthly meeting.  I will be taking pictures and posting on Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by.

HAPPY CREATING!

I'm Back!

Yes, I know, I've said it before...but I really am back this time. Two surgeries, days of physical therapy, a couple of months in a boot, and I am finally walking.  My foot still hurts some and I'm not quite back to walking alot, but I can climb the stairs to my studio, so my sanity is back.  I really missed everyone.  More posts are coming!  
I am attending an Album Retreat this weekend in Salt Lake City where I will complete an album in two days plus have tons of fun with my friend Linda.  I'll have pictures to share next week.  In the meantime I will post a few of the cards from my recent "Holiday Card Workshop" last weekend.  
Can you believe it's November already?  Where did my summer go....oh yeh....recovering from heel surgery!  Never want to do that again!
Thanks for stopping by.
