Spring? Where?

As promised an update on the "Survivor" cards I posted the other day. Cardzgal stamps are from Our Craft Lounge . Also I found out that after she coloured the image with chalk she also put a metallic rub on them.

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour tonight (Saturday). Wuhoo - we lose an hour of sleep but gain an hour of extra daylight. Spring must be on the way...I hope so anyways!

We started late but we started!

Fourth show into the 18th season of "Survivor", our fourth season of making cards for our get-together and we finally got started on the card-making. We decided for the card-making challenge of this "Survivor" season (or should I say the rest of the season) we are going to pick whatever stamp we want...so it'll be a surprise if we use the same stamp or even same stamp line...oh what will our creative minds do each week - hmmm? So dinner was at my house this week ( we go 2 weeks about), I made a chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes (Albert style), a salad with "Olive Garden" dressing....yummmmm and for dessert I did a fruit coffee cake( easy peasy, with apple pie filling) with coffee ice cream.
One would think that if you were a coach of any type of sport that you would be a little more fit and maybe lead by example.....what does he coach.....fleas? He has to go....soon! It was Sandy's time to go, I don't think I could have taken too much more of her......and whats with Taj, is she not in alliance with anyone, off voting on her own and has she found the hidden idol? So many questions and a long week of waitng to see what happens next. But I do go on so....
......so our cards, here they are; I used a "Bella" stamp-lattebella coloured with prismacolor pencil crayons and an Obsession Impression sentiment stamp and the "Label One" nestabilities and some flowers attached with nailheads. Cardzgal forgot whos stamp line she used, so I'll post that later, but all the stamps are from one set, she chalked the 2 main images added some clear glitter sakura pen and added a piece of tissue, she also ticket punched all the corners.....of course as you can see.

What kind of challenge?

April's theme may seem a bit confusing to some.....so here is a brief description of what the theme entails. "Back counter of the store" challenge -- as cardmakers we are to use any one (or more) of the products that were on the "back counter of the store" which got moved to a "gondola" in the middle of the store for moving purposes....so maybe we should call it our "Venice" challenge. Happy card-making!

It isn't easy being Green!

Great exchange again ladies! Great cards, yummy treat, wonderful conversation and a nice surprise visitor .... June!!!!!! It was wonderful to see her, its been a long time, we hope to see her more! And a shout out to Helena's friend...thanks for joining us.

The many shades of GREEN cards. There was teabag folding, a pocket card, a shaped card, and many different types of green embellishments were used on the cards this months. This is the last exchange that will grace the bullentin board at the current location. The store is moving. Next month's exchange will take place at the new address. See you there.

Made by who?

I haven't posted anything in a while and the blog looked lonely, so here I am. Cardzgal and I haven't done any Survivor night cards this season....whats wrong with us?????? Okay, who thinks coach has to go? I do, I do (hand up in air, waving furiously around).
Well it must be the year of weddings, I'm in the process of getting all the supplies for the youngest ones invites, and she was here making bridal shower invites for a friend of hers that is getting married in June, so I thought I would share her creations. She has made 22 invites, same layout but with all different co-ordinating papers...very funky and very much her. She used a Bella stamp-"Bridalpartybellas" and did some paper piecing with the dresses and then we (yes I said we...I got coerced into helping) punched some little flowers from a fiskars edge punch and made them into the bouquets...lots of finicky work but they are one of a kind bridal shower invites.

Happy Heart Day!

Valentine greetings to you all! Hope your day is sweet. Not much going on here, no cards to post -I guess maybe I should have made one to post for today...maybe like a Valentine one for my sweetie. Whats everyone else up to these days? Have a great day!

Cake, Balloons and candles....oh my!

What kind of card does one make for a child/kid? Mostly a birthday card, and with that we all made a child's birthday card for our monthly card exchange - with the theme being "Kids/Children". Our group was a small one this time around.......we missed you! After the exchange some of us stayed for the make n' take and to find out where the store will be moving to. The make n' take card can be seen on the store blog. Here is this month's exchange.

Happy Groundhog Day!!
