Tim Holtz Grungeboard Workshop at Cat's

So this is the grungeboard I made at Cat's Creations (my favorite SB store). We used Ranger products and learned some really cool techniques! This is where I met my friend Jessica, aka Kinderstamp-O -- she is a really crafty lady and I look forward to getting to participate in all crafty blog activities. Katie was able to be here and make one as well. We had a great time. Thanks to Nanci Holtsford, a great teacher who helped make our class a lot of fun!

Christmas Card Workshop in Granbury

We had a great time at Mom's house making Christmas cards. I love all the creativity going around -- check out all the different styles of cards we all made.

Cute as a bug (or gingerbread man) !

Oh my goodness -- just look at these -- I think they're absolutely adorable. Got the patterns from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts (thanks Dawn) and tweaked the gingerbread one a little bit myself. All nestled inside the gingerbread packet is a package of hot cocoa. Inside the smaller snowflake packet are two hot-tea bags! Aren't they cute -- I just can't get over myself!!! I'll be showing these off at Curiosities here in Ballinger this weekend and showing all the gals who come to the card workshop during the next week how I made them. Love, love, love 'em!

I'm Still Here

Haven't blogged in a while, but have been doing / seeing some really wonderful things. Love, love, love, the change in the weather! Fall is my favorite season. Joe, Mom, Tripp, and I had a great time in San Marcos last month at Katie's sororiety Family Day -- Tripp's first visit to Aunt Katie's place. I've been picking pecans like crazy from our yard - front and back -- almost an obsession! Finally into Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment of the Twilight saga -- lovin' me some vampires! Looking forward to Thanksgiving with mom in Granbury, and a couple of Christmas Card Workshops. Christmas is just around the corner and it always sneaks up on me! Life is good!

Halloween Workshop!

I'll be holding several Halloween card workshops coming up this month and into October. I'll also be highlighting some great products from Stampin' Up! If you're interested in workshop information, just send me a message.

Ladybug Workshop

We had so much fun at my mom's making ladybug cards and oohing and aawhing (sp - lol!) over all the Stampin' Up! goodies. If you'd like information on attending or hosting a workshop, let me know -- they're definitely a good time!

Fun Workshop

Had another fun workshop here at the house this morning -- so glad Katie (aka Chick 2) could be here for a total of 6. We each made a set of 4 cards / envelopes with coordinating card folders -- love these and they're so easy to make. Probably starting in September, I will begin scheduling 2 workshops per month -- one specifically for cards (various holidays / themes / etc) and also one for scrapbook layouts and/or gift-type items made with paper crafting, so stay tuned. It should be a fun Fall season coming up. Most all of the ladies have been newbies coming to the workshops and they have really enjoyed themselves. It has been nice having fellow paper crafters with us as well sharing their wealth of knowledge too. Have another workshop scheduled for next Saturday morning, 8/1, at my mom's house in Granbury -- will be fun! Life is good!
