Its a raining day in Florida!  I hope the snow they are predicting stays from you  Jean and I have cards to post for you to see.  I got a lot of cutting yet to do on mine.  I am not certain how far Jean has gotten on hers. Well here goes on the trying to post.  Cross your fingers!

 These bottom two are mine this time  I hope this finds you all well,.  God Bless You!

Hi My Friends!  This coming Tuesday I will have a partner working with me this year.  I haven't got to see her cards yet.  I am planning to get with her tomorrow.  I did want to post my two cards for you to see.  

 This is the inside of the card above.  It's a pop out card and I couldn't post it to do it justice.  I used a Sizzix Pop 'n Cuts base and insert.  I just notice the insert is interchangeable.  I will have to see what is available to use in it. Could be interesting!

Hi Everyone,  I don't know if you get on my site when I am not teaching card classes.  I wanted to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!  We are in  here Mansfield till just after Christmas.  We are hoping to head back the Monday after Christmas.

I went to the card class wed. eve with Mary Joe in charge.  The girls did a great job at getting some neat cards for us to make.  I have posted them here for those who may not have gone to go.  The girls mostly  like to use the KIS method.  Well you know I make you work sometimes harder.  I stepped them up just a little.  the first two you see, I just did a small amount of scoring on the card.  You may not see that in the pictures of the scanned cards.  The Holy Family cards I stamped the design on a separate piece of paper and then added a layer of blue before I adhered them to the base card.  The last card, I added an embossed layer of holly to put on the card base,  I cut out the stamped design and add a piece of a glitter green of which I added on top on the embossed design.  Oh I forgot I used a sponge dauber and added a light coat of green to the holly leaves and a light coat of red to the berries.  So much for me keeping it simple!  Lets see if I can get the cards posted.  Love you all and miss seeing you.  You can visit us in Florida.

Posting this week cards!  I do still have stuff to cut out and get ready.  Hopefully I can finish tomorrow after I have lunch with my cousins. Always too much to do.

September already!

Hello again!  Finally have the cards ready to post.  I hope you will enjoy making them.

Hi Everyone,  I am finally able to get on my computer to post my pictures of the cards we are making this week.  I haven't been able to get on my computer for 3 days.  I was beginning to think maybe Tom hadn't paid the bill.  Someday I hope to replace this antique of a computer.  Well here is the cards for Wednesday.

My favorite is this last one but I almost changed my mind about doing it.  It is a new Stampin Up set I bought from my neice Pam.  It has a lot of pieces  to it and each piece is cut out with a die that needed to be lined up a certain way.  It would take forever to do.  But... I was determined to do it.  I will have you not do all the steps and I cut everything out in advance  You will need to concentrate while doing it .and listen to me as how it is done.  Oh dear we are in trouble.  Just teasing, well sort of.. Time will tell.  See you tomorrow!

Well I am back and as late as ever.  I only had one card to make yesterday.  I worked all afternoon trying to make it.  Do you ever have days that nothing works out?  After several hours I quit.  I decided I wasn't doing that card this week, maybe next time.  I  decided to make it simple but sometimes simple can give me grief. I started out just trying to score this simple card.  I wasted  4 or 5 card blanks.  Finally I did it right and am here to post.

You get to color the chicky card, two step stamping on the next, choose of white daisy or the yellow  daisy and the last card is all cut out using my Cricut machine. See you Wednesday!
