St. George Get Together Part 2

I just can't believe how cute these cards are!  Well, I can because we pretty much always have fantastic projects when we go to Jill Olsen's get togethers!  I enjoy the friendships that are made and all of the wonderful ideas that I get!  If there is anything here that you have any questions about, please leave a message for me and I will try to answer it.

I'm still missing a few 3D items that I didn't put together!  Aren't these darling?  I will try and finish up the other projects this weekend and post them on Monday.

I will be having a fun beginning stamp class next Friday, September 27 at 6:00pm at my home.  The class is $5, which will be refunded to you with any $30 order.  If you're in Las Vegas I'd love for you to come!

More on the class next week!

St. George Get Together Part One

Can I tell you how much I hate taking selfies?  I'm getting old, so my eyes don't work as well at that distance so I'm always squinting to see the screen and it looks weird!  Anyway, this is a pic of Rachelle, Jeanna and me after our all-day stamping get together.  We had such a fun time and all of the projects were fabulous--I hope to make a few as workshops or classes, so get with me if you are interested in hosting a workshop!

I just wanted to share some of the fun swaps I got this weekend.  There were lots of great swaps done and I only made 19 cards, so I got about the same amount back.  The sad thing is that many of my swaps don't have names on them, so if it looks familiar to you, please let me know so I can credit you properly.

St. George Stamp Camp--part 3

The reason I love to go to Jill's get togethers, besides all the great people I get to be with, is to stamp...all. day. long!  Who wouldn't love that?  This time we made 14 projects!  Some fall themed, some winter themed, all darling!  The little bird card was so much fun! I had to redo it because I was in such a hurry that all my watercoloring started running together, and don't even get me started about the Dazzling Details glitter that smeared all over everything, so I just flipped it over and started again (that's why paper has two sides!!)!  I also loved the No. 1 LOVE card in Calypso Coral and Real Red!  That's something I never would've done, but it looks hot!  The only project missing is the Halloween frame and I will be posting that next week!  Which one is your favorite?

If you would like me to demonstrate any of these at your workshop or if you would like to know what supplies were used, please leave a comment and I will get back to you!  Enjoy your day!

St. George Stamp Camp--part 2

So, besides the excitement of winning "best MDS card", we swapped and stamped and took photos of wonderful samples!  We had several demonstrations and I got a lot of ideas for classes and workshops! I met new friends and reconnected with old friends and even though it's good to be home--I so enjoy spending time with these great, totally talented ladies!  Enjoy these samples--it's crazy how cute everything is!

Wasn't that amazing? And that's just a few photos!  There were several tables full of beautiful creations!  It was all wonderful!

St. George Stamp Camp

Well, I'm back from St. George and Jill Olsen's stamp camp!  We had a blast!  I went up with my friend Jeanna and my daughter Kylie and went straight to the Dixie Center to set up for the My Digital Studio class that Jeanna was teaching, it turned out great!  There were 22 wonderful ladies there wanting to learn more about how to use their My Digital Studio software and Jeanna taught them some great techniques.  Erica Shaw and I were helpers who were able to go around the room and assist those who needed some extra help, but mostly people were able to follow along with her and they all created beautiful layouts and received some great training!

After the class was over and we got everything cleaned up, Jeanna and I went to Kneader's to get a bite to eat, but it was 9:00 pm, so they were out of a few things (turkey and ciabatta bread) so instead of my favorite Turkey Cranberry Croissant I had a ham and cheese sandwich and although it was good (isn't pretty much everything good at Kneader's?), I missed my fave!  I dropped Jeanna off at Jill's and I went to my dad's and had a great visit with my dad and step-mom until Kylie got home from her date at 11:45.  I didn't sleep more than an hour that night because my brain wouldn't shut down!  I so hate that!!!  I was running late all morning and was trying to finish my swap card (which I'm glad I brought, by the way...) and all of a sudden, Kylie said, "Hey mom, aren't you supposed to be at the Dixie Center now?"  Oh, yeah!  My hair was still wet and I hadn't eaten anything--thank goodness my dad loves me and he made me an omelet while I finished getting ready, yum!  I got to the convention center and I still hadn't finished my swaps, and I realized that I had left a few of my tools at my dad's!  Luckily, Jill and Christy had the tools I needed and I was able to finish my card!  After a day of stamping, there was a contest for all of the swaps and guess what?  I won best MDS card!  (told you I was glad I brought my swap cards!)  I was so stunned, I've never won anything for my cards!  Thanks, Jill, I'm so honored! And thanks to Jeanna for letting me bum a ride and always encouraging me with kind words!
