12 Cards - One for each Month!
There were 6 cards for the morning session and 6 more for the afternoon. Stamping went smoothly and everyone finished the cards they had come to make!
Birthdays for a Year – May 15
Spring Fling May 11, 2010
It was indeed a FULL day of stamping & creating, but I think we all survivied.
Projects included a silver tea light holder, a butterfly note pad, an 'Inchies Plus" art frame, a Pendant Note accordion card and a small photo frame.
We Smooch Spritzed lots - the gold and vanilla leave a very subtle shimmer - and also used the Log Cabin with one of the Folk Flower stencils.
And, we played with the new Presto Designer Series Paper getting different looks by painting, sponging, brayering and spritzing.
The new Bitty Punches with coordinating stamps and buttons looked cute on a several of the cards.
Butterflies were flying freely!
And thanks to Angie B. for sharing her 'On Time' door prize so the Awash With Flowers card could be completed. For some reason I left those stamps at home!
There were also some amazing cards swapped on Saturday - talented stampers were in attendance!
Thanks to everyone for pitching in at the end we even vacated the hall on time (actually 10 minutes ahead of schedule). It was a fun, but tiring day and I am looking forward to Fall Fest in October - I even have one project in mind!! Hope you will put it on your calendar.
Retiring Colors

Here is a list of the colours we are losing.

PLEASE...
Check your ink pads (classic and craft) and make sure you have re-inkers for all of them. Check your favourite colors and make sure you have the cardstock you want. The accessories for these colors such as ribbon, brads, buttons, etc.will be retiring too so have a look at those items too.
ORDER...
these items before the end of May because starting June 1 these items will only be available while quantities last.
The NEW COLOR COLLECTIONS are wonderful and will be as easy to use and as beautiful as our old palette, but just make sure you have a plentiful supply of your favourites.
April 30 Techniques
Faux Flowers and the Lattice Die were the techniques and tools for April.
Faux Flowers...
Where is the die on this card with the Crocheted Flower Embellishment??
When you open the card there is a Surprise Lattice Butterfly Explosion inside!
And a tone-on -tone very simple but elegant Lattice with a special 5-Petal Flower.

April 19 Stamp Camp
It was a Card Buffet - a popular event!!
Everyone chose their favourites from 20 designs (in some cases all of the designs) and then decided how many of each they would make. Most kept busy stamping all day.
This one was a surprise since it really looks ordinary BUT… it is an Easel Card!
March 25 Techniques
Faux Batik was the March technique. We created 2 samples of each style - one for the Technique Book and one to use on the card.
March 20 Stamp-A-Stack
This was a Stamp-A-Stack of Masculine & 'Kid' cards. 3 each of 8 designs - a total of 24 cards.
