A Reaaaaaally Big Week of Stamping Fun!!

Hey, Stampin' Chicas!

Another fun Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for this girl!!

Our cards this week were the "hair gel" seascape card, with many thanks to Brandy Cox for her most excellent and informative video and to friend/stamper Barbara Young for bringing this absolutely amazing card to my attention!!

Our stampers made beeeeeyooteeful cards! They are so pretty that I want to make more of the designs just when I look at the pictures!

Good job, Chicas!

We started off the week right by stamping all day at the Gallery!
Above you see our morning group (facing the camera from left) Lori, Mike and Kathy.  So happy to have first time with us (but very experienced
stamper) in our group this week!  Welcome, Kathy!!

No, your eyes aren't fuzzy!  My bad

Who knew hair gel could be so cool!  I used
Dep because it had a blue cast to it.

Sweet and Simple--A Quick Post Before I Take To the Skies!

Hi, Gals!  I wanted to at least get our Gallery up before I had to take off!

We had such fun with two much easier but still fabulous cards this week!  Below you see the most wonderful gals ever!  Thanks to all and my apologies to Susan and Linda for not getting a picture of them on Wednesday!

Next week holds another fun day!  A cool Christmas card and

a "hair gel" card.  Thanks to Brandy Cox for that idea!

Back soon!

Stampin' Hugs!

P.S.  Couldn't resist putting my "Mad Men" avatar down below.

Yes, having grown up in the "accordian belt" of America,

I played from 7 years old until I was 12.  I still have it!!

Pop Up Greeting Card and White on White--Lots of Pictures!

Yes, I am crazy!!  Fortunately my intreprid 

groups of stampers are always up

for anything I throw at them!!

Here is a scrapbook of our classes this week.

We started each class with an over the top

floating pop up card that featured lots of

Secret Garden stamping and cut outs using

the framelits.  Besides the 28 or so basic

pieces of the card (not counting embellishments),

we stamped, punched for about 1 1/2 hours

to complete our first card!  (Thanks for

bringing the extra Big Shot and framelits!  It

saved us 15 minutes in our morning class!!

We then made a simple white on white Christmas

card that is ultra elegant.  Thanks to

Trish Myers at trishmyers.blogspot.com

for the beautiful design!!

Happy Stampin'!

Linda's Skort :) and TAL cards September 5!

Here's our inspiration for this coming week's cards!  Linda's skort!  I loved the colors and the black and white background.  Inspiration can be found in many places!  Can't wait to make cards with you this week:  Monday classes at the Gallery and a Wednesday Titusville Art League Class!

Here's our Thanksgiving card complete
with the
Bigz Top Note Die and
Framelits.  We texturized our card
base with the Chevron folder with gold
Encore ink stamped on the surace.

Our TAL Gals:  Patricia,
Sharon and Linda!  Looking
for more Titusville stampers
 to join us!  We have LOTS
of space!!

You may recognize our kitty--except
for the whimsical (maybe diabolical??:-)
kitty on the right hand side.  That's
our resident artist, Linda's version. So
fun and creative!!
Wow--2 posts in one week!  Have a great week
and don't forget to have creative fun!!
