More Just Celebrate Cards

Here are a couple more cards from the class...

Just Celebrate Cards

Here is what you missed if you weren't able to attend the Just Celebrate Class. I have kits put together with instructions and pre-stamped for $15.00 if you would like one. Once they're gone, that's it.
This card was stamped on Groovy Guava textured paper and the little notecard is a bi-fold where you can write a short note versus a lot of words. There is vellum paper over the top of the flowers. There is a rhinestone eyelet in the center of the middle flower. I used black staz-on to stamp the flowers and colored them in with markers. The ribbon is the new taffeta ribbon from the Idea Book and Catalog. This card was inspired by Krystie Hersch.

I will give more details later, but Matt needs to get on the computer for school.

Purely Celebrating!

This is such a fun card! I was able to use textured paper, vellum, the rhinestone eyelets and Designer Series paper. This card will not be a part of the Just Celebrate class, but I wanted to give you a sneek peek as to what will be posted in the next day or two. Stay tuned...I think it's gonna be great!

Pinewood Derby

Blaine has spent a long time planning out his car, cutting it and sanding it. He and Matt strategically put the weights where they thought they should go.

He did very well! He took first in his age group and 3rd overall. It was cool. The troop has a new track this year and it not only recorded the times, but the place.

It's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day. I almost can't take it with the sugared up kids and the noise, but I'm okay.

Blaine's friend, Jimmy, did well this year, too. Go Jimmy!!!

Oh no. I'm not Kidding

It's not supposed to stop snowing here until Sunday morning. I haven't seen the boys since breakfast ( I can visually see them, they just haven't been inside). We have about 24" on the ground with a steady fall.

Each year, we get a good storm like this one, but I have never seen this much snow in a long time, maybe since I lived in Idaho.

It's crazy!

Playing Catch-up

I made several cards last week, but didn't want to post them until I used them. May sound strange, but I hate a ruined surprise.

I made this card using a cool fold that takes off the bottom 1" of your long-fold card. I have so much retired DS paper, so I used it to make several birthday cards. I had a few ideas for a shoebox swap we had at church. This is the one I ended up using. It's made with Big Bold Birthday.

I'm never quite sure how I feel about using the coluzzle, but I grabbed this idea from Kristina Werner. She always has great ideas. Again, I used the Big Bold Birthday set.

This card...I don't know, but it's a tri-fold card. You fold down the center of a long-fold and then at 2 3/4" from each end. I used the Many Thoughts stamp set.

I'm preping for my March 20th class. If you're interested in attending, I'd love to have you. There are still spots left. I have two classes being offered. See my SU! website for details.

Hanging out with the D family

Last Friday, we were able to go with our friends the "D's" (I'll do that in case they don't want their name plastered on my ever-so-popular blog). We had a lot of fun. Blaine and Will are classmates and it was fun hanging out with this great family. They are such good people and we always enjoy their company no matter what we do.

The boys were super excited, however, because they were able to go to a Cav's game and they had a ton of fun and laughed. That's what matters the most to me, fun and laughter. The "D's" have a younger son, Benjamin, that if he would let me, I'd squeeze like a stuffed animal. He is a super funny kid.
