So Happy For You, Template 4


This was my sample from Template 4 (from my April Templates class). I'm posting it even though this sweet little stamp set is no longer available. It's one of the Sale-a-Bration sets from this year called So Happy For You. I hope you were one of the lucky (and by that I mean Smart!) stampers that were able to get this set during SAB because it will never be offered again.

Never fear, though. This template can be used with lots of other stamp sets. I just love how everything is framed with the Tulip Frame Embossing Folder and of course, you can't beat that Bashful Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso color combination :)

Have a great day!

May Cards Photos!





These are the cards we'll be making this Wednesday night and Thursday morning in my May Cards Class.

It's hard to tell because I am NOT a great photographer, but there is a lot of shimmer going on here!

We'll be using Smooch Ink and a couple of different kinds of Shimmer Paints (both different techniques).

The Sailboat can be used as a Father's Day card OR I'll have some generic 'Guy-Friendly' phrases available for you to use.

And, How cute are these butterflies? Wait till you see how EASY they are!

Class cost is $18 (it's ok to pay this one at the door) and includes everything you'll need to create 3 each of these 4 cards for a total of 12 cards.

Envelopes are included!

Please bring your favorite adhesives and scissors with you to class.

A paper piercer or tweezers might also be useful for the gems if you'd like.

RSVP soon, we're almost out of space in both classes.

Have a great day!

Happy National Scrapbook Day 2011!




Today is the first National Scrapbook Day, in I don't know how long, that I didn't have to work.

Okay, if you want to get technical, it WAS fun working at a Scrapbooking Store or here doing Stampin' Up! for NSD.

But you get what I'm saying.

So, what am I going to do today?

Well... I'm going to go hang out with some of old scrapbooking buddies.

We're not going to scrapbook but I'm sure that topic will come up at some point.

We just can't seem to get away from it :)

Last week, in my May Digital Studio Class, we started with the sketch of a card.

(I may try to scan that sketch and add it into the post later, but for now I'd like to tell you about the pages shown above.)

The first, a lovely pink page with the sweetest little baby girl, was created by one of the Wednesday evening students, Amy Hartman.

(Thanks, Amy, for giving me permission to share your sweet page!)

Below that are the pages that I did during each class.

I've asked the students to send me copies of their pages if they want, so you may see more at a later date.

Believe me when I tell you, there wasn't a stinker in the bunch! :)

Our next My Digital Studio Class is scheduled for Wednesday Evening, June 1st and Thursday morning, June 2nd. We'll take a new sketch and re-create it during class. Some people just come to watch and some bring their laptops and follow along. When you purchase your Digital Studio software from me, you'll receive this class FREE for 3 consecutive months. The cost of the basic software is just 79.95, and I can even help you set it up on your laptop!Otherwise the cost is still a bargain at just $10. Let me know if you'd like to join us!

Don't you love how, given the same sketch, all the pages look different? I do!

Have a wonderful National Scrapbook Day and a very Happy Mother's Day to all of my friends who are moms and those who honor their own moms this weekend! Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, I hope you create some fabulous memories!


Hugs!
Terri :)
