It was supposed to be card-making in the library this Monday but I got a last-minute (seat sale) invite from a friend to travel with her to France!! What an opportunity!!! I would never have met June if I had not become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I was introduced to her on-line by a SU Demo I contacted while visiting South Carolina (who would have thought I would have to travel so far to meet someone so close!). My husband was golfing and I was stamping – fun was had by all!
Anyway, it was only 9 days but it was Villefranche-sur-Mer in Provence and it was warm and June was a wonderful guide and interpreter. The days flew by too quickly.
February Technique Class
Faux Bleach and Inlaid Embossing were the two techniques learned this month. There are lots of ways to get the Faux Bleach look, for this one we used our trusty Stampin’ Mist.
February 19 Card Buffet
It was to be 10 designs to choose from but I couldn’t stop at 10 so there are 11 designs. ‘Buffet’ means you can choose to make them all, just a few or multiples of as many as you like.
February 14, Card Making in the Devon Library
Three ‘springy’ cards to hopefully help us put all the snow into the back of our minds!
January 27 Technique Class
This month the cards we made didn’t really involve a technique. They were cards that popped up and folded a little differently.
Colors used were Peach Parfait with Poppy Parade, Riding Hood Red with Basic Gray and Pacific Point with Basic Black. The ‘Always’ bird is a sliding pop-up.

January 12 – Stampin’ Up! Leadership in Nashville!
Who would have thought that there would be snow in Nashville? Certainly not the people who live there! Despite the snow I had a great time swapping, sharing, learning, touring, visiting with old friends and meeting new ones and stamping – of course!!
I had a wonderful roommate from Michigan – Lori Watson – whom I had just chatted with on-line. She had participated in a lot of swaps and was very generous in sharing them all with me. My swap card had a Valentine theme but could easily be modified for another occasion. I used Blushing Bride for the base cardstock, did some embossing with the BigShot and added just a tiny bit of stamping – and a little bling too!
Jane and I (along with about 500 other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators) attended the Managers Reception at the Wild Horse Saloon. Here we are with one of the numerous colourful characters that live there! We enjoyed a lovely BBQ buffet supper and beverages included coke, lemonade, iced tea and water!
And when the conference was over, we were off to the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Theatre. It was a very entertaining evening (even though I'm not a fan of country music).

January 10, 2011 Card Making in the Devon Library
It’s time to think of Valentine’s day so the cards were full of ‘Heart’!!
For those not needing Valentine cards, there were optional greetings for All-Occasion Heartfelt cards.
