More to share... ENJOY!

Morning! I have more to share... :) The first card, I made two versions using different ribbon treatments. Has lots of color! Hope your weekend is going well. It was raining on and off Saturday afternoon , so that meant some stamping time! See what I come up with... ha!


ETA: Here are the directions I received from Julie's class for the Slit Punch Border. Draw a line 3/8" in on cardstock. Start punching with the slit punch, lining up the flat side of the circle on the line. Punch side by side, but not overlapping. Once you have punched all along the edge. Fold back. Now insert a different color paper strip, and you have 2 tone colored circles.

Enjoy! I'm setting up another post for Monday. Hope your day is going well and thanks for the visit.... SMILES!

July cards to share!!!

Hi everyone!!!! Don't be shocked it's me... how has your summer been? It's hard to believe it's half over and seeing school supplies in the stores already. I have a few cards to share with you that I made "on the fly" for special occasions and from the SU! card classes I attend each month.





This last card is the cutest! You can imaging the conversations we girls had when making this card at class!! That is what warms my heart... having time with stamping friends. :) I have 2 more posts lined up to follow. Thanks for stopping in and I know it has been a while.

SMILES... Michelle :)

MoJo Monday Challenge!!

WOW, did this day just fly by!! I didn't get into my craft room till late this evening and wanted to quickly post my card. I followed the MoJo Monday sketch challenge... :)

I challenged my self to use blue as I have so many DP's with blue tones, but seem to stay away from them... not sure why! I think of blue during the winter months... which we don't need right now! Today was pretty cool and cloudy. This weekend we may have WARMER temps!!

My card is pretty cut and dry! I sure enjoyed using my SU! punches, CB Swiss dots folder, adding white snaps in the corners and I used SU! Organza Ribbon which I just love!! I don't actually have a roll of it, I must have had a scrap from class, but it's on my wish list!!

Tomorrow I have a hair appt and running errands. I so enjoyed this sketch challenge that I have plans to make another card... so stay tune my stamping friends!! Thanks for all the lovely comments and visits... I truly enjoy them ALL!!

Smiles... Michelle :)

Monday night was Julie's SU! card class and we used SU! Texturz Plates, yummy Organza Ribbon and the Pretties Kit. I changed the card up a bit by adding the chip-board flourishes embossed with Iridescent Ice for sparkle and the blue silk flower I had on hand... I like how it turned out!! :)

Great for a Wedding or Anniversary card... I enjoy the look of the flourishes!! Have a super evening ladies (gentleman too!) and thanks for visiting!!
