Paper Piecing classes taught at Scrappin Friendzee

Scrappin Friendzee's grand opening was Saturday, July 11, 2009 from 9am till 5pm. There was over 24 ladies that came to crop for the day and boy did we have fun. Through out the day we earned tickets for chances to win one of the Big 3 prizes. One of the prizes had a mystery gift attached to it and you had to be there for that drawing. Julie Lay won and the mystery was 6 months of free crops. Horray for Julie. Throughout the day there was a stream of shoppers in the store.


I taught two classes one at 10am and the other at 2p.m. We had a lot of newbies for the class. Both paper piecing was themed toward 4th of July. Here are the results of the class. Everyone that participated in the paper piecing classes did a wonderful job.

TRADING CARDS

This past Friday I spent the day at the local scrapbook store (Scrappin Friendzee) with my sister, Lizzy and her daughter, Sara and a few of my scrapping friends. I was showing Sara my buddy pages 6 x6 and I asked her to make me one and I would make her one. Her mom, my sister, Lizzy said that she would want card size ones. So with that thought a light bulb with off and I decided to make a trade card (2-1/2 x 3-1/2) of me to trade with my sister, Lizzy. I also made a little book for her to put them on and she could hang them from her tote. Below is the result of the trading cards. I like it so much that I decided to me some for trading, and the ladies that already gave me their 6 x 6 layouts I made a card of each of them for my trading card book

Layouts for the Scrappin Packin Mommas Hoe Down

Our group of ladies held a hoe down weekend scrapping event several months ago. This is the layouts that I completed for those pictures. I made 2 cow girl paper piecings and a boot, and other embellishment for the layout. Now I just have to find the pictures to put on the layout.

DAD Phot Album Part 2

Here is the last of the pages. I decided that I needed a lot of pictures. 35 in fact, that is why I did some accordin photo matts for the pictures. Then Bailey came to the house and we used versa marker on her hands and she stamped them on the back cover, and I let her pick her color of embossing powder, which was pink. Alothough somehting was wrong with the embossing powder did not leave a good finish but did adhere to the page.

DAD Photo Album for my oldest, son Matthew

This is the first class that was taught at our new local scrapbook store, called Scrappin Friendzee, located in Marrero, Louisiana. There was about 20 ladies/children that took the class. Here are the first pages of the book. You will have to come back tomorrow to see the rest. I did do a few things different than what the class called for. I used jump rings to attached my pages and tied ribbon to the jump rings. The class called for the book to be attached with ribbons. Also my layout on each page varied from what the class called for.

visit with my sister, Wanda

Yesterday, (Sunday) I went across the lake to visit with my sister, also brought with me some scrapbooking supplies for her. I also sat with her and showed her how to make the Tri Fold card, and how to use Goo Gone to help color with pencil colors on images for cardmaking.

Chuckey also came along with the visit and had a nice chat with his 1st cousin, Ray. Yes my sister is married to my husband's 1st cousin.

Here is some of the needlework book marks and pins that she sells.
