By The Sea Album

The talented Terri Burnette designed & taught this album at S&S.

  The paper used is by Graphic 45 called By The Sea.

The colors are vibrant & pull you into the album. Enjoy!

Mini Sampler

  
Scrappn' Savvy had their Sampler yesterday & after seeing & listening to all the fabulous classes they are offering in the next three months, we proceeded to make this adorable album.   I think it was designed by Terri Burdette, one of the 
instructors at S&S.

 The card stock is by Bazzill and is heavier than the norm.  I love this card stock & the weight is perfect for this type mini album.  The pattern paper is also by Bazzill.  Perfect for July 4th photos. 

This mini was so much fun to make, not hard and has tons of places for journaling & photos.   If you are ever in Spring, stop by S&S to say hello.  You will be pleasantly  surprised by all that they have to offer.  Karrie & her team of instructors are absolutely amazing!   They really do treat you like family.  I love it there!

Cards swaps......

This has been a busy week for card swaps.  Our Scraptabulous swap was held in Houston on Tuesday night with a wedding theme.  The cards really showed off everyone's stamping style as all were so very different.  Great group of talented ladies.

The Stampamania card swap was last night in Sugarland.  Our theme for this swap was a get well or sympathy card.  Again, all the cards were so different with each lady having a style of her own.   These ladies are so talented and some new techniques were introduced that I will be trying in the future.  I love getting ideas from these swaps. 

Enjoy the samples and until next time, happy crafting.......

HEY!

I apologize for the poor photography of my posts.  My room is dark and lighting very poor.  I really need to work on this.  If any of you have some tips on how to take indoor pictures of cards and such, please shoot me a message.  I really need help in this department.
Thanks in advance.  Later......Patsy

Scraptabulous Swaps

Scraptabulous Swaps meets every month for a night out with friends, food and of course, swap cards.  This months swap theme is weddings.  This is the card I made for the swap. 
   

I used the Elizabeth Crafts floating heart die.  I made this card in a class given by Karen Burniston at Scrapp n' Savvy.  It's hard to see the very shiny silver paper I used on the hearts and the greeting.  Love it!  Enjoy!

Fussy Cutters shoe box swap.....

 The Fussy Cutters swap & luncheon this afternoon was very nice.  The cards were all from the new SU catalog just out on June 2nd.  I am missing one card that I must have left.  It was my most favorite using the

Traveler stamp set.   The Hamburger box die is new & large enough to hold a couple cookies or treats.  It was an afternoon well spent with stamping pals.

Card classes....

I attended two card classes yesterday given by Jenn Gulch, a fellow SU demonstrator.
Loads of fun and laughter at this class with old friends.  Sorry for the poor lightening.

We did five fancy fold cards that were so different and rather easy.  It is so hard to pick out my favorites.  Love the gift card holder and will do more of these.

We used the new In Colors for these cards.   The colors are so vibrant.  Maritime DSP is really, really nice.  Great for summer projects.   Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss are my new favorite colors.   Enjoy!
