October class cards for WORK!

Hey there... I just thought I'd post the 4 cards that I will doing for a NEW group of gals from WORK!

None of them are stampers but they all love my cards that I make for their birthdays, so one of them said to me...

"Diane, can WE have a class?"... Well you know that's music to my ears so I'll be doing this class next week. Here are the CAS cards I've have kitted up and are ready to go!. 

 Gorgeous Grunge and Tape IT! Decorative Label punch, 

 Open Sleigh and Season of Style DSP, Glitter Paper and snowflake punch. 

 Winter Northern Flurry emboss folder, Glitter paper, 

Holiday Stocking punch, Season of Style DSP. 

Well I hope they like them. 

Since this is NEW Group and NOT experienced stampers we will doing each card together as a group and not stations. I learned this the hard way last time I had a NEW inexperienced group. 

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment!

Halloween SMORES for the Grandkids!

Hi there everyone.

 

I just wanted to share with you the SMORES packages I made for my grandkids. I know they are a little early but I have to get them in the mail along with this cute Halloween "count down" calendar I got them at a fundraiser, ... so it's all good. Right?

Here are the SMORES ... I got the idea from the many different ideas on Pinterest using the little ghost marshmallow Peeps!  You may recognize the SU tag using the new "chalk talk" die cut and the new burlap ribbon as well as some retired ribbons. I also have a few none SU items as well. Here are my SMORES being created.

Finish and ready to go into the bags.

Pack the ingredients, tie with ribbon, and add the chalk talk tags to the bag. 

I really wanted to use the new SU bags to tuck them into but they are too large for the bag! Bummer! Oh well I'm sure the kids won't mind.

Now the trick will be to get them through the mail in the Priority box without breaking the graham crackers! Guess I'll find out how they traveled soon. 

Thanks for stopping and please leave a comment.

For My Friends PPA 171 color & FMS 103 sketch

My post is going to fit two challenges! Yeah. Since I've been so posting it's fun to be able to fit into two challenges. The first is the Pals Paper Arts Color challenge #171.  

                                        

                                 The second is for Freshly Made Sketches challenge #103.

 

Here is my card using the sentiments from Six Sided Sampler and A Dozen Thoughts.

The new DSP Soho Subway is another FAV.

"Falling for You" [PP161 challenge].

This post is for The Paper Players challenge.. FALL themed card.

Now the trick will be to actually POST it on the challenge blog! Last week I created a card for a challenge and never posted it in the challenge blog! DAH. Guess it's been so long since I played in a challenge I forgot how! Well anyway... here's my FALL card.

This card used the new  "Harvest of Thanks" stamp set, a retired set, a Very Vintage button, Burlap ribbon...and it's also my first attempt at using the Washi tape.

 

As long as we are speaking FALL... I thought I'd post this Fall Birthday card too!

Here are few variations of the same.

 

I hope you liked my card and please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Feels Like "Forever" - FMS 100th

Hi there everyone! 

OMG... I've been off the grid for a long while now. After my 3 weeks with the grand kids, I went on my annual golf trip with the gal pals. Then I had to go to Atlanta, GA. for a week of training. I returned back to work to find out I got a promotion... or so they say.... they put in a new group- Supplier Development - which means I'll do what I do, but now at the suppliers... hmmm  Also MORE traveling. hmmm.  I'll be on the road at least 50% of my time at work... hmmm.  Promotion???  Well we'll see how that goes.  

 It seems like forever since I've posted anything for a challenge, so I am so happy to be able to post today. 

Seems Freshly Made Sketches is celebrating their 100th sketch! Can you believe it? Wow where does the time go? To help celebrate this special occasion.. Cindy is the hostess and she is using the FIRST sketch used at FMS to be their 100th. Here it is! 

Here is my card that is not exact but it's pretty close. 

I used the yummy holiday Seasons of Style DSP. I just Love the colors in this DSP and it's so great for Christmas and so much more. 

I used the sentiment from Occasional Quotes. 

Another strip of DSP to set off the sentiment from an older stamp on the inside

Thanks for stopping by and please leave comment and tell me what you think.
