Last weekend I had a wonderful time meeting and catching up with other demonstrators in the area. At the gathering we got to make some cards and shared some good tips and tricks. It was great to attend a workshop instead of running one! Anyway, Rhonda demonstrated how to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig. Being the perfectionist I am, I use this tool a lot! This is the lovely masculine card that we all got to make using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.
Yes, it is birthday season for our family! This is a tri-fold shutter card that I made for my mother-in-law's birthday. My mother-in-law is a stamper as well, so I always try to do something special to wow her and this card surely does that. I love the Designer Series Paper in this catalogue, the DSP I used for this card comes from the Washington Apple set.
After Tuesday night's workshop I was playing with the Faux Silk Effect and created the card below. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't quite capture the texture! It is a really lovely way of adding texture to cards and scrapbooking pages. To see the card that we created at the June workshop using this effect, click HERE and check out the previous workshop projects.
Since my son's 3rd birthday landed on Easter we had an Easter egg hunt, which went down a treat. I discovered these baskets and made them for the kids to put their found Easter eggs in and take home.
