Hi,  for any of you who wanted to see the cards we are making this week and was not willing to give up on me,  here they are!  Well maybe not.  Sorry I try one more time to find them, if they dont appear on this post, I will give up.  It will have to be a surprise.  Am I hopeless or not?

I have been working on my cards for next week and have 4 created, 3 of which are cut out for you and ready to go, and one  needs some parts.  I decided to post them early .  Surprised?  We will be going away this weekend  to my grand daughter's First communion in Cincinnati.  I wanted to be ready before we left.

Now those of you who don't like to color , don't panic. This last card is using a brayer and sponging on to embossing folder. Then it is run through the Cuttlebug.

The tulips card is just using stamping up's 2 step layering.

The other bird card is stamped, embossed with a folder I have never used before. Love it!  and the just a wee bit of water brush coloring using ink pads.

Of course the very first card shown has no coloring only from the paper and stamping.  It is a center fold card .  I got the idea today watching a video, just a little twist to how it opens and closes.

I am hoping for a big crowd next Wed. Just wishful thinking.  In the mean time take care, God Bless you!

I am back in Mansfield, Ohio!  I think you all already know that.  One thing you don't know is that the next card class workshop will be shared with Mary Jo and myself.  She will be holding the evening class and I will hold the afternoon class.  Karen has to work that day so she asked me if I would take over for her.  2 cards will Mary Jo's and 2 will be mine. Then classes in May will be all mine.  I will make a schedule for you and the store soon. My first class in May will  May 14th  1:30-4pm  and 5-7:30pm.  I am looking forward to seeing you all again.
     I am excited, this Sat.  I will be going to Akron with Mary Jo to see this years Stamping Expo/Convention.  I have forgotten what its real name is.  Hope to get a lot of ideas and maybe buy a few things,  Take care and God Bless you, Laura

One of the other cards we did was an never ending card.  You probably have seen this before. From the first card you see when opened, it will open to the next.  Open that,you will see the next and so on till you are back to the first again.  I never did this at a class before.  Although I did try this before at home some time ago. Too much work to do at a class I found..

Well I am here for probably the last time till we are home.  well maybe.  I hope to post a few cards we have done at the last 2 classes.  Here goes trying.

 Outside & Inside

 

These are this past week cards.  I didn't get post them before class.  What do you think.  No one posted on my previous post, probably cause no one is looking.  I hope all is going well with all of you. We are fine here,and very much enjoying the lack of snow and cold. You are welcome to come and visit.  On March 23rd, I am hoping to go to a sale in Lakeland at a store called Violettes Scrapbook and Stamp Store. Linda told me about this, customers set up tables with stamp and stuff they want to sell.  She said there are almost too many to see and reasonably priced.  Good reason to come visit. Miss all of you, take care, Laura

Hello again Dear Friends!
/These were the cards done at my workshop today. Everyone was pleased with them.  Had 7 come to the class.  The Butterfly card was inspired  from a card Linda Shuffert sent me this week.  Of course I could'nt do it completely like hers.  Didn't have embossing powder, same paper  but it is similar.  Thanks Linda for the beautiful card.  I hope you didn't mind my copying it.

A friend here, who came to my card classes ever since I started them here and usually sat next to me in our Art class passed away a week ago last Sunday.  She was a very talented crafter, retired school teacher and was only 62 yrs old..  She will be missed!

My love to all of you.  Laura
