Is It SPRING Yet???

Valentine's Card-Making Event Prep

I'm hosting a Valentine's Card-Making event at Funky Junk on the Ithaca Commons on Sunday, February 10th from 3-5pm and thought I'd share some photos of the 'gathering activities' I've been busy with for the past couple weeks . . . still more gathering to do! I'll do everything within my power to make this a FUN event for all who attend!


LOTS of pre-assembled card parts means that we can get down
to card-making and spend less time on making parts!!



I love playing with ice resin but, WOW, is it ever messy! Maybe it's just me??




Of course, I needed to make the daffodil one for my sister.
In hindsight, I would have used more glitter!!

 

These little paper packs are sooooo much fun!
I collect big paper packs, too, but these small ones just seem to capture my attention!
The big packs get chopped into card-sized pieces . . . see upper left.

 

Parts from years past . . . I've been playing with rubber and paper since about 1998.

LOVE these word stamps from RED LEAD Paperworks.
I sort of cut them apart and removed the frames around them to make
them more versatile for my needs. Please forgive me Chris & Sharon!!

Can't resist the Walmart 97-cent card parts.

Gathering the parts and organizing them is what I live for!!

E-bay shopping adds to my Stampin' Up stock pile. There are
more sets on the way via priority mail. :)

The more I UN-mount my rubber stamps, the easier they are to store.
I prefer unmounted stamps because they're easier to stamp with, too.

My Sister Loves Daffodils

My sister, Luanne, loves daffodils . . . so when I saw a 'sister banner' idea online a year or so ago, I knew I had to make one for her with a daffodil theme. This year's holiday break from work has given me time to complete it! I LOVE to play with paper and Mod-Podge!!

The photos below are of the back of the banner.

Love these little "Clear-Bits"!

I purchased these clear charms from Red Lead Paperworks and couldn't wait to decorate them. I'm not sure, at this point, what project I'll attach them to. I'm too attached to them to put them on greeting cards, but they'd make sweet pendants. :)
