This Weekend I Get to Meet Suzanne Dean

I am so excited.  She is coming to The Keepsake Element in Bloomington to teach 2 classes.  I am signed up for both.  It will be a long day, but a fruitful one.  The first class begins at 9:00 a.m. and we don't get out of there until 7:30 p.m. 

I will certainly be posting after the class to let you all know how it went and what I think.  I have heard all wonderful things about Suzanne's classes so I am sure it will be wonderful. 

STAY TUNED!

Hero Arts

Today was a totally awesome experience.  I got to take two classes from Shari Carroll of Hero Arts at my favorite scrapbooking store - The Keepsake Element.  We made a ton of cards.  As  indicated earlier, I am working on an antiquated computer since my hard drive blew.  My son has an old processor he is kind enough to let me use, but it doesn't allow me to upload photos.  So, I will take pictures of the cards we made and upload them from my work computer.  We did some different techniques that I have not done before so it was a worthwhile day!

Shari was very personable and funny.  If you get a chance to look her up she has several videos out on her various techniques.  She is well known for her collage art.  She developed "color layering" and "color blending" techniques for Hero Arts.

New Cards

I made this card for my secret sister.  I belong to the Divine Secret Sisters group at Splitcoasters.





This is a card I made for my cousin who just had foot surgery.

Computer Issues

Hello everyone.  I just wanted to let you all know that my computer hard drive crashed.  My son was kind enough to give me a processor that he has but it is slower than a snail.  But, hey, it works.  So, just wanted to let everyone know that I have some new cards to post, but this tower is so old that I can't plug my card from my camera into it to download my pics so I'm going to have to do it at work.  I will get something up soon.

I am trying to decide between a new desk computer or a laptop so I will take any and all suggestions and experiences if you want to share.  Thanks.

House Mouse and Male Birthday Card

I made these card for my workshop last week.  The birthday card was a special request.

Wow, doesn't this look relaxing?  I love this stamp.  I had to use it when I saw the designer paper with lemons.

Perfect paper for this card.

I don't know about the rest of you but I find it hard to make 

cool male cards.  I guess I really am a girly girl cause I like pink

purple and bling!  Oh well, considering I think this one turned 

out okay.  Diana - this one was for you.  I have several kits 

left if you want to pick one up.

Pop Up Card

I have never made a pop up card.  However, I had a request from one of my class participants so this is my version of a pop up card.
