December 18, Christmas Open House

Despite the weather (and it wasn’t really that bad) a few stampers came to share some Christmas cheer and make a few tags and a gift card holder.

There was lots of time to visit and snack and talk of Christmas plans.

No Stamping in November!

And that was only because warmer weather beckoned.  Here are a few photos of what I was enjoying when the first snow fell in Devon…
AZ Holidays 152      Sunshine, palm trees, a pool in the background!!
AZ Holidays 157     There is greenery in the desert (besides the cactus) and mountains too.
AZ Holidays 220     Sedona is north of Phoenix – lots of beautiful red rocks!
AZ Holidays 260     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!
