Ilove these angel sympathy. I used a cloud pattern paper for the background,

Symphathy cards - Part 2

More cards for Jenny and my card box. All of the images was colored with markers and chalk. I just love inking the edges of my cards. The cards with the orange lily, the scallop punch border from Stampin Up was used to make the paper ribbon strip on the card.

Sympathy Cards

The online group "The Crop Room" that I belong to has a swap that they have being during for the last several months called the "Card Queen". Last month I was the queen and this month it is Jenny and she asked for some Sympathy cards. I decided to make 10 power packs (cards) to work on the first day of Go Go Momma's crop. Five of the cards are going to be for Jenny and the other five will go in my card box.

Cards for the Card Queen

While I was going this weekend a package arrived in the mail from

Krista Ondish a member of "The Crop Room" with some Thinking of you cards. The cards arrived Friday (11/21). Thanks Krista for such lovely cards.

Chirstmas countdown clipboard

Lisa taught this class on Friday evening at Go Go Momma's crop. Everything was pretty much cut on the Cricut. The number circles are attached using velcro. I used stickles to make my numbers pop. I totally enjoyed doing this class. Lisa you are so talented. Thanks for teaching the class. I know that Nicole and Bailey will love this clipboard.

Christmas cards

Sending Christmas cards to family and friends is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas. The images were colored with markers, chalk and to add some bling I used stickles.

paper piecing class - Thanksgiving

On Friday (11/21) I taught a paper piecing class to 4 ladies (Jackie, Jenny, Karrie and Lisa). Here are the results of that class.

Baskets & Go Go Momma's Crop

This weekend I went to Go Go Momma's (Jackie) crop. Which I had a wonderful time. I was able to complete 10 Symphathy cards and 24 christmas cards. I taught a paper piecing (turkey)class. I also made a clipboard which is a countdown to Christmas. The bakets here in the picture was a door prize and the other was a birthday gift for a friend (Lisa). Michele (Angel Momma) won the door prize.


The event was from Thursday 2:00 p.m. through Saturday 2:00 a.m. On Thursday was 3 ladies and on Friday we had 5 ladies, then on Saturday 8 ladies were in attendees. Jackie was a great host. We had Gumbo and Potato salad from one of the local restaurants in the neighboring town of Lafitte. Our event was in Crown Point, Louisiana. We also had hot dogs & Chili, Papa John's pizza, and from our hostess' kitchen we had Red Beans and Rice. On Thursday night we were treated to a fry turkey. Jenny's husband was testing a new piece of equipment he inquried to cook a fried turkey without oil. The turkey was so good and juicey.


Over the next few days I will be posting the sympathy, christmas cards and other projects that was completed. Thanks Jackie for hosting such a great event.

Santa, Giraffes

I love this santa claus, he was fun to make. For some reason I have made several differnt giraffes, but I really enjoy doing a giraffe paper piecing for some reason. It is a awesome piece to put on a zoo layout.

Pirates and fireworks

The barrel of firework is a paper piecing I will be putting on one of my fourth of july layouts.

Five little pirates marching down to the shore. I think I will have to learn to use my camera without the flash.

snowman with all his candy

I used paper glaze for the peppermints and stickles on the lollipops.

Witches

Three little witches carrying three little pumpkins. The first one is an original paper piecing. The next 2 are color copy of the original, embellished with stickles. I call them my "copy cats" and sell them less than I do the originals. This picture does not do justice for the copy cats, they are a lot darker in person.

For some reason the user (Me) of the camera did not take great pictures this morning.

Little boy ghost

This one was fun to make. Notice the tennis shoes have red stickles. One of the ghost is outline in a lite blue stickles. I have just falling in love with stickles. I have about 14 in my collection so far.

Cowgirl, mummies and alligators

The mummy paper piecing is only 2 pieces but a lot of ink work and chalking.

The cowgirl was inspired by the Western Hoe Down crop I went to recently. I love how the stickles bring bling to my cowgirl.

The alligator would work good on a zoo page.

Get well cards by Susan Polcari

Susan filled my request for Get Well cards. I love the image she used on the cards. Also, in the envelope was a prize I won at "The Crop Room" for playing the Halloween ABC game. Thanks Susan, for the cards and the ABC stamps.

Thinking of You cards from Sandy McFarlene

More cards arrived in the mail from my online group "The Crop Room". Sandy filled my request for thinking of you cards. Love all the cards and love how she made her own pattern paper using stamps. Love how the blue heart card and the flower cards fold.

Thanks Sandy

Some Happy Mail - Yesterday

When I got home from work yesterday. There was a happy mail package awaiting me. It was 2 scrapbook magazines that someone sent to me as a RAK (randon act of kindness). I do not have a magazine subscription to either magazine, so I was excited to get them. I flipped through the Simple Scrabook one and seen quite a few ideas that I have to try. The other magazine was Scrapbook, etc.

Well now I have to PIF (Pay it forward). Who will it be ????????

Ballerinas and wedding couple

The ballerinas and the wedding couple were fun pieces to make. I love how the stickles adds some elegants to the wedding couple.

humorous cards by Jenny Skorupa

More cards arrived in the mail the other day from Jenny and she filled my request for humorous cards. She was very generous and sent 2 additional cards and some card fronts for me to complete additional cards. Thanks Jenny. Love the saying on the front of the cards.
