World Card Making Day!!

I was invited out by a friend today to a Stampin Up Event for World Card Making days hosted by Mary Louise from Stampin Up.  It was a full day of Card making.  I think there was about 10 cards that we made.  Tons of fun, tons of food and tons of friends.  What else could you ask for?

It all started off with my Tim's Coffee and a little treat waiting on the table.  It's a little box of candies in a super sweet decorated box.

 Everything was pre-cut of the cards which was a really nice change.  Each card was made at a  station with an instructor on hand.  Pretty awesome set up, we were moving fast as there was lots of cards to be made!!

 Here's one of the cards we made :)

 Me and Donna showing off our cards. ....

Keiko, Donna and Connie :) These Gals are way too sweet!! :)

 This was a great technique taught by Jean from Stampn Up.

 Keiko giving us a preview of her card !!  Love it!! :)

 This was one of my favorite projects.  We made this box that fits four cards and envelopes with the Envelope punch board.  I think I will be making these for my regular cards.  I really love this idea .

 I also really love this card we made too.  Not the greatest photo but I love that card shape.  I will be making this again for sure.!!

One last picture.... the tickets in the first photo was for several  door prizes at the event.  My name was picked for this set!! Awesome day all around!

Thanks for peeking!

Color Swatches and Scrapfest RH 2016

Super quick post for this afternoon.  I've spent the week moving my craft room over to the "larger" part of the basement.

Half way through the week I had to declare a "Code 9" meaning that my husband has just discovered how much crafting supplies I actually have!!!! 

YIKES!!!!

He just keeps saying "I can't believe how much crafting supplies you have" 

LOL !!!! :) Guess the cat is out of the bag!!!

It's Sunday afternoon and I finally feel that everything has been put back into place. 

I will be giving my room a fresh coat of paint next weekend  and will hopefully share some pics after that.

While cleaning and re-organization I cam across my trusty Color Coach from Stamping up. 

I actually have very few Stamping up products.  I really like their stamps but including the color swatch I might have like 2 stamp sets that I bought used.

 This is probably one of my favorite Crafting items. I find that I will use the same colours over and over again so this helps my use other colors that work well together. I like using this even thou I don't have any of the SU products I just use the colours and match it up to my papers and Copic markers.  I picked this up many years ago at Scrapfest Kitchener.

 A friend of mine also wanted one but it was just recently discontinued by Stampin' Up.  So I made here a Color swatch chart with recycled  paint chips I had collected when we were painting the house!

 D is a horse fan so I used that as the first page of the swatch.  The thing I like about these is it gives you a picture that uses the colors and a chunk of each colour on the chip. I made a sleeve using a little wooden horse shoe and will give this to her next in a few weeks at Scrapfest Richmond Hill.

This brings me to my last quick note.  I will be at Scrapfest RH in two weeks on the Saturday.  I'm helping out with Copic make and takes at the High Hopes Booth.  Please stop by and say hello. :)
