So it has been a while since I last posted. I have been putting my new supplies to good use. I made a number of bookmarks last week-end towards my swaps for Provincial Annual coming up.
Tonight was Brownie Enrollment. The girls were so excited to say their promise in front of everyone. It was great.
Have just about finished my skirt. I only have the bottom hem left to finish off. It is exciting that the skirt is definitely wearable and I learned so many thing during my classes.
I have put together some of my ornaments from the Star Bright Kit and from the new Country Living kit. They are as nice as they look in the pictures and again they are quick to put together.
I received my latest order from Stampin’ Up! and boy was I excited to check out all of the fun new stuff. I put together my Create-A-Calendar
and found it to be a quick easy gift to make for someone. I also started making some of the items in the special Country Living Kit
There are some great supplies in there, that I didn’t even realize I would get. I will be busy for a while with all of my new papers, stamp sets, punches, etc. The next task will be where to store it all.
I am hoping to start working on my snowflake garland this week if I have time, although I have some sewing to catch up on as well before my last class Saturday morning. So the garland may have to wait until the week-end.
So far this week-end has been very crafty for me. I decided to try and finish our wedding scrapbook as we were married 2 1/2 years ago so it is about time I finish it. I was playing with flocking last night and had quite the mess going!
This morning at sewing my skirt finally started to take shape, so I am starting to feel like I am getting somewhere, and that I might actually get this finished by the end of the classes. After sewing I went over to Caroline’s to make 10 different Christmas Cards (posted above). It is always fun stamping over there and we made some beautiful cards.
What a nice sunny day we had today. Maybe fall is on the return?! I have posted one of the fun cards I made this week-end using some of the stamps in my starter set. The first one uses the cracked glass technique which is always a fun one to make. I like the effect it gives to the flowers on this card. I am having a bit of trouble uploading the others right now, so I will try and upload them later for all to see.
I am headed off to Brownies tonight to start the Cross Canada Challenge with the girls as well as talk about what they want to be when they grow up. We will be making some posters to advertise Canada. I am sure it will be messy but also lots of fun and hopefully the girls will learn a thing or two in the process.
