A Quick post

Not too much happening around here to report on, except maybe that its been very VERY cold. Hope everyone is keeping warm where they are. Its Sunday and today I'm off to the scrapbook store to teach a fancy fold card class. Today I thought I would post a picture of one of the layouts we have done in the Christmas Album series, we go every Tuesday in the month of January and do 4 pages each time, 2 classes done - 2 more to do. Come back later and I will post the cards from todays class. Keep Warm on this very cold day. Enjoy your week!

Start of a New Week

Well good morning to all who see this just after I post this........nothing better to do at 2am when I am not sleeping; than to post something on the blog. I probably should be creating or read my book.....tried all that....it didn't seem to work....so very wide awake right now....Help I want to sleep like a normal person......or someone relatively so. Ahhh but I digress. I thought for today's post I would put up the picture of our card exchanges' next sketch challenge. It is a bonus sketch in the back of the Scrapbook and Cards Today calendar. Our group meets up on the 6th of February.....I can't wait to see what everyone has done........what about you?
Well I'm going to sign off the computer now....checked my e-mail, played some games, talked to my friend out west(its a normal time for her), posted on the blog....hopefully I can sleep now. Enjoy your week.

Happy Tuesday! Well I was thinking of posting another Christmas card that was made this past holiday season but decided on showing the Magnolia cards we made for the class we taught on Sunday at A Scrapbookers Dream. We used Prismacolor pencil crayons and the Prismacolor Blending marker.

How is your week going so far? I'm off to the store again tonight for the start of an album series that is done there....we are going to be using Basic Grey - Jovial Line, and yep! you guessed it, the whole album will be about Christmas, check back later and I'll try and post a picture of one of the layouts.

Here is the Magnolia cards....wait til you see next months....sooooooo cute!!!!

January's Card Exchange

Getting off to a good start here. Our card exchange group met yesterday Sunday January 9th and here I am ready to post with a picture too......lets hope I can keep this momentum up all year....fingers crossed!

All of our group members were not able to attend, they must still be re-couping from all those holiday parties and festivities. We were 5 out of 8 members this month. I do believe we all agree on doing "The Year of the Sketch".....we just have to pick out sketches for March and the remaining months. The cards for this month's exchange turned out really well....the sketch came from the bonus sketches in the back of the Scrapbook and Cards Today calendar.As usual the cards are all great. I enjoyed doing this sketch and look forward to the rest of the year. Have a look at what our cardmakers did thiss month.

First Post of the Year!

Happy New Year to all! Just a quick little post to get my New Year goals started on the right foot....or maybe its the left one....LOL. I was thinking about a post with no pictures added but then thought different and decided to post a picture of one of the many Christmas cards I made this past holiday season. Just one of a few goals I have made for myself.....not resolutions but GOALS. One is to post more here on cards that I have made and/or maybe even some of the scrapbooking I am planning on doing.....another goal of mine - to get more scrapbooking done too. Thats just a couple of my goals for this year. SO, have you made any resolutions or Goals for yourself this New Year?

So the picture is a Christmas card I made with a Magnolia stamp - Reindeer Tilda, I coloured her using Distress Inks.

Our card exchange group is meeting up this Sunday for the first time this year. Its a sketch challenge. Check back to see what everyone has come up with. Enjoy the rest of your week!

January's Sketch

I apologize for the quality of the picture. This is the sketch for our January exchange. It was taken from the Scrapbook and Cards calendar for 2011, have you got yours?

A New Year Resolution

Happy New Year to all!!!! I believe all who read this blog from time to time hope that my New Year resolution is going to be.......wait for it................to blog more and post our creations more - sooner than later......hahahahaha! I hope that for myself too however I promise nothing

It has been a wonderful and busy year.....doing lots of classes, even teaching some, so lots of my time went to prepping and organizing for that....lots of knitting happened this year for me......a new baby girl happened into our lives here.....Now I can be called Gramma....so more knitting will be happening. Our card exchanges were lots of fun this year with the challenge of sketches and themes. Our little group welcomed new members this year, so all has been very good.


I have the last two exchanges to post; the first one is November's cards which was Hostess themed and the second picture is our December exchange which was Christmas themed, who doesn't like making Christmas cards!


I hope everyone has been having a wonderful and safe holiday and that the New Year brings all your dreams and wishes. Enjoy your New Year Eve! and I'll be posting to you next year....hopefully on a regular basis.
