December 18, Christmas Open House
There was lots of time to visit and snack and talk of Christmas plans.
No Stamping in November!
Sunshine, palm trees, a pool in the background!!
There is greenery in the desert (besides the cactus) and mountains too.
Sedona is north of Phoenix – lots of beautiful red rocks!
The sunsets are wonderful and nothing says ‘Arizona’ better, than the Saguaro cactus.Unfortunately it was cool for Arizona weather, but fortunately it was warmer than it was here!!!
October 24 Technique Class
Faux Seersucker and Magic Pastels were the techniques for October.
Everyone wowed over the Magic Pastels. It was quite a transformation from a ‘pastelly’ coloured image to a really detailed looking image.
And the Faux Seersucker was so easy and really looked like seersucker fabric!
Next Technique class will be in January 2011. Christmas is only 2 months away! Get busy stamping & creating!!
2010 Fall Fest!
From all reports it was the best yet! It was a busy day, but there was still plenty of time for swapping, visiting and fun!!
Most everyone finished all the projects and some went home with plans to make even more, for Christmas gift-giving.
The swaps were awesome! Some were Christmas themed, some were not. Some were quick and easy to create in quantities and some were more suited to just making 1 or 2. All in all – wonderful swaps… see for yourself
One was even a ‘hybrid’ gift card holder made with My Digital Studio and using the ornament punch.
Kim’s swap was the ‘Stamper’s Choice’ this time – lots of extra work involved.
We worked on projects all morning,
had almost an hour for lunch and then back at it with cards all afternoon.
We were surprisingly finished and out of the hall by 4:00!
Next ‘Fest’ day will be the third Saturday of May 2011. Set the day aside and join us!!
September Technique Class
It isn’t a new background technique, but now that we have Frost White Shimmer Paint… Faux Mother of Pearl is a wonderful use for it.
Make sure and try this Technique with the Champagne Shimmer Paint – almost looks like gold leafing!
