Purse Class

I bought a purse template from Becky Roberts, isn't it too cute?!

I am going to have a class so that you can make one too. As soon as I have the details, I will post them for you to sign up. I already have 3 people signed up to take the class...lol

View from an angle. There are white envelopes in there...that is the white that you see in the pics.

Note that this purse is designed to hold 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards and envelopes but you can put just about anything in there ex. tea, candy, coffee packets, soup packets.... The front pocket opens up too and gift card would fit nicely in there. I used Pacific Point card stock and designer paper, this color is making a comeback in Stampin Up's color renovation in July. For the class, you will have the choice of Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay or Rich Razzleberry. More details to follow....

Baby Bib

Well, my niece Bebe had her baby, Ximena Mia on April 17th. Welcome to Family Ximena. As such, I made her this card for her when I went to visit. I cased it from Stampin Connection website. I used the scalloped circle and circle die cuts and the small dots embossing plate with the big shot and a circle punch, brads, and ribbon. Stamped the outside and inside.

Automobile

SASSSC Swap To view the SASSSC blog you can go here.


This months SASSSC theme swap was automobile. This is the card that I created for this swap. When I saw this paper from Grapic 45 at Lonestar Scrapbook store, I knew that I was going to be using it for my Automobile card. The 12 by 12 sheet had several different cars on it. These are just two of the dozen that I made for the swap.

Happy Easter

Easter came around real fast this year. I made these easter baskets for my co-workers and their children. This basket was made from a 6X6 designer paper, scored at 2 and 4 inches on each side. Then you cut to the middle square on only two opposite sides so that you can fold upward. Place a brad to hold the handle, sides and middle together on both sides. Fill with grass and goodies. A SASSSC member (Annie) provided us this as a make and take in one of last years meeting. They are real quick to make and I made these the night before I took them to work.

As you will notice in the following two baskets, I put binders clips that had "crap" on them in their basket along with candy. lol

Beginner Brayer Class

My sister Olga and I signed up to take a brayer class from Michelle Zindorf in Colleyville, TX (suburb of Dallas)in March. We were only able to sign up for the beginner class because the advance class was full. Two other SASSSC members (Laura & Deb) were able to sign up but they were in the Sunday beginners class. It was a pleasure meeting her after seeing all her wonderful work on her blog here. We arrived early to be sure to get seats together. We were the first ones there. Here is Michelle showing us how to brayer.

We asked Michelle if we could join her for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and we invited Laura and Deb to join us and two ladies from Victoria joined us as well. We had a great time getting to know her at dinner. I asked Michelle if I could be the hostess for next year. So pray that she selects me to be the Texas hostess, she will be making her itinerary for next years classes in June!! So I hope I am selected. Olga and Deb both won the first card that Michelle made in the classes. We learned a lot and had a great time in the classes. Can't wait to take one of her advanced classes soon...hmmm...maybe at my house.
