What's Inside My Decorative Tins?

Are you ready to see what's inside the tins?  Here you go!
I 'decorated' some chocolates to place inside, along with a coordinating round card.  I let Aaron take one to school for his teacher.  Her birthday is next week.  He wrote the cutest message inside and added a darling little drawing.
I've had these wonderful tins in my 'stash' for so long that I can't even remember where I got them.  I knew they'd make great gifts and I love how they turned out.  The DSP was perfect for this project.
I'd love it if you'd leave a comment and suggest other ideas for what could go inside the tins.
Don't forget:  Sunday, March 26 -- 
Spring Open House Party / 2:00-5:00 / a 'no fee' event ' / RSVP by March 24 and I'll have a special gift waiting for you.  Come and join us for an afternoon of creative fun!

A Darling Puppy and A Quick Review

Today's post is a quick review of the cards we made at my March Scraps and Prayers class.  These were all really fun.   My class policy is on the left side of my blog.  This would be a good time to review how it works, in case you need the info.  I'll be sending kits for those who missed the class, so you can use this post as your guide and enjoy creating 5 fun cards.

Darling Little Puppy Card
I knew we'd have our hands full with 4 cards, but I wanted to throw in the puppy card, too, because I wanted everyone to get to play with our new colored pencils.  Everything on this card was colored in with the new pencils.  After that, we blended the colors together with an Aqua Painter.  We also added a bit of sparkle on the balloon and the puppy collar with Wink of Stella.  You may notice some random sparkles over the top of my card.  To do this, I held my Wink of Stella horizontally over my card and lightly tapped it with my scissors.  It creates instant sparkly spatters:)
Here's a peek at our new pencils.  If I had to describe them in one word ... I'd say smooth.

 
 
... and now a review of our other cards we created:
Soft Dragonflies Card
Brusho Background Flower Card
Avant Garden Flower and Hearts Card
 Tip Top Taupe with Sparkly Dragonfly Card
So there you have it.  And now, we need to take a vote.  Which card is your favorite?  I'll tell you that mine is a tie between the Avant Garden card and the large dragonfly card (shown last).

My next event:
Sunday, March 26 -- Spring Open House Party / 2:00-5:00 / a 'no fee' event / RSVP by March 24 and I'll have a special gift just waiting for you.  Come and join us for an afternoon of creative fun!

Tip Top Taupe and a Pretty Doily

Here's another favorite of mine from our last Scraps and Prayers class.  As in my previous post's card, this one has a tiny sliver of black CS.  It pulls the front and the inside all together and makes the dragonfly pop.
I love these little doilies, from our Spring Occasions Catalog.  They are white on one side and vanilla on the other.  Of course, you could certainly spritz (or sponge) on a bit of color to coordinate with anything you'd like.  You'll be hearing more about these doilies in another post ... very soon:)
I added Wink of Stella to the dragonfly's wings.
I didn't add a text of any kind ... yet.  Whenever I create a card like this one, I love keeping my options open.  If I need a quick card for almost any occasion at all, this one will work beautifully.
My next classes and events:
Saturday, March 18 -- Saturday Stampers / 1:00-4:00 / Using stencils creatively (on cards) / $20. / Pay to register at least 2 days prior to the class. 
CLASS FULL / REGISTRATION CLOSED
Sunday, March 26 -- 
Spring Open House Party / 2:00-5:00 / a 'no fee' event / RSVP by March 24 and I'll have a special gift just waiting for you.  Come and join us for an afternoon of creative fun! 

Special Reminders:
As always, you must pay to register at least 2 days prior to each class.  If you are using a coupon, you still need to register at least 2 days prior to the class and present the coupon at that time.  I need it for tax records, please.

Dragonfly Layout

Here's a layout I made as soon as I got my new dragonfly goodies and the gorgeous new DSP.  These are my favorites of all time.  How can you go wrong, with using the two of them together?  The background CS is Sahara Sand, so it's a soft, nature inspired layout.  I used Wink of Stella on all the dragonflies.

My Cute Little Notebooks

As I've mentioned in a couple of previous posts, I've been working to use up and enjoy my 'stash' of favorite goodies and not hoard them.  Next up, were some of our cute, little retired notebooks.  Yes, I'd hoarded a few of those.  With 2 new papers that I just love, I thought it was the perfect time to get out the notebooks and decorate them.  I love these little guys.
I made 2 with our Succulent Garden DSP ...
... and 2 with our Falling in Love DSP.  These papers are just absolutely yummy.
Now ..... what could I use up next from my stash?  I am proud to say that my storage room is all neat, tidy and organized and not overcrowded.  I've cleaned out a lot and will pass it on to someone that needs it more than I do.  That makes me a happy camper.  It is a huge and wonderful storage room and I am so blessed to have it.  It keeps all the excess supplies out of my studio when I'm not using them.  In case you're wondering, I'm a very messy stamper when I'm in creative mode and I have out a million things, but I always know where everything is and I always clean up before and after each and every big creative storm.  I'm about half-way into a creative storm right now, so look out!

More Calendars ... for 2017

I made several different kinds of calendars for 2017.  I'll share a couple more with you today.  The first 2 are made with Sahara Sand and our new Falling in Love DSP.  They can fold flat and be mailed, just like a regular card.
The next 3 are created with the Best Birds stamp set.
We'll be making one of these at our January 9 Scraps and Prayers class.  
I can't wait to see everyone again and share holiday memories and all.

Special Reminders and a Beautiful Mini Album

I want to share a closer look at my mini album with you today.  This is made from envelopes, CS and the most gorgeous DSP ever.  I'll be showing this at our February Scraps and Prayers class, even though we'll be doing a different project (for Valentine's Day!).   Enjoy seeing it and then keep scrolling for some important reminders.
I added some decorative scoring to the spine.  The dragonfly on the front has some sparkle from Wink of Stella.  Love that stuff.  I think I've used up a couple of pens already!  I added some spatters of sparkle by holding my Wink of Stella pen over the album cover and tapping it lightly.  Also, you can't see them, but there are cards in each of the envelopes.  These can later be decorated, used for journals or for photos.
Now, for some important reminders:
FIRST:  New Catalogs:
I totally forgot to preorder catalogs to be mailed to you.  I have plenty in my studio and have tried to hand out a bunch already.  Contact me if you need a catalog and you can come pick up one, along with the S-A-B catalog.  You're going to love them both!
SECOND:  Class Projects:
Click here for class project reminders for 2017.
THIRD:  Bad Weather Days:
Click here to see what to do if one of our classes falls on a bad weather day.
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST:  My next class.
My next class is our January 9 Scraps and Prayers.  We'll be making a calendar.
