Celebration Time - A Birthday Bundle from Me to You!

Hello friends! 

Happy Saturday!  I wanted to use today to celebrate birthdays AND to launch my very first online class!  Today is my birthday, and what better way to kick off the big 3-4 than with a birthday class pack bundle?  

Are you ready to check it out?  I've been working on this behind the scenes for the last few days, and I'm so excited to share it with you!  I hope you'll love it.  

Introducing the Celebration Time online class!  This one was SO fun to put together, and I want to share it with you for FREE with the purchase of the Celebration Time Bundle!  

I had the pleasure of creating samples for a Stampin' Up! event using this set a few months before it was released, and I fell in love with it.  It's SO much fun, and the dies and stamps coordinate beautifully.  I had a blast playing with it, and I know you will too!  

Here are the details on this fabulous online class!

For the Bride-to-Be - You're Priceless

Hello friends!  

When you're in a pinch, where do you find inspiration?  One of my favourite ways to whip up a quick card when I'm short on both time and ideas is to remake an old card of mine.  In this case, it was a remake of a remake - the original was created by my artisan friend Kimberly Van Diepen, then I made a different version for my bestie a while back, and then I turned it into a fabulous diamond version last week.  I needed a blank (no sentiment) card for a bride on her wedding day - so obviously, it's gotta be diamonds!

When the design of a card is this perfect (thanks KVD!) it's so much fun to make over and over again.

Using the same layout, I brought in the diamonds (and other gems!) from You're Priceless.  So quick and easy, aren't they?!  A few colours, a brush of Wink Of Stella, and a few rhinestones make this a pretty little beauty, and super easy.

I just love this fun combination of In-Colours - Powder Pink, Emerald Envy, and Berry Burst.  So bright and fun without being over-the-top.

Thanks so much for stopping in today - and be sure to come back for one more card tomorrow to end the week and a big surprise - you won't want to miss it!  See you then!

When I Count My Blessings - Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop

Hello friends!  Welcome back for another virtual hop around the world with the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!  We are the official design team for Stampin' Up!, and we are so thrilled to be sharing some fabulous autumn-inspired projects with you today.  Whether you're coming from the amazing Rochelle Blok or starting here with me, welcome to chilly Calgary, Alberta, Canada - get cozy and stay awhile as we welcome autumn!

As you may have noticed with this blog hop, we had two stamp sets to choose from this month - I was won over by one simple, tiny little part of the gorgeous Count My Blessings stamp set - those adorable acorns.  

I was born in Ontario, raised in Alberta, moved back to Ontario, and then moved back to Alberta... and like any transplant, I always found myself missing parts of the place I left behind.  One of the things I miss most about Ontario is the big, incredible, gorgeous oak trees and the myriad acorns they would drop.  I found myself collecting them in my pockets, even as an adult, and rolling them between my fingers as I went about my day.  Autumn in Ontario is really an incredible sight to behold, and yet those acorns remain my favourite part.  

Making this card made me chuckle and think of my dad - he lives in Ontario, and a few years ago, I had an idea to make some felted wool acorns... I needed real acorn tops to go onto the felted balls I had made, so I called him up and asked if he could scavenge a few and save them for me.  The next time my dad came to visit, he brought a huge grocery bag, absolutely FULL of acorn tops - hundreds, if not thousands of them.  Singles, clusters, with and without stems, large and small.  He later told me he had spent hours hunched under the biggest oak tree in his yard, picking them all up so I would have what I needed for my little project.  I love that man.  

Now let's take a quick hop across the globe and see what the incredibly kind and magnificently talented Sylwia has for us today...
