Swap bag...

Today I had a little time to play in my craft room and decided to make this swap bag for the upcoming Regionals in January.  The bag was designed by Lynn Pratt and will hold one hundred swap cards.  The directions were so easy to follow,  If you haven't gone to Lynn's website you must do so, she has some great stuff on there.  This is such a cute swap bag.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Have a good Sunday!

Happy Wednesday.....

Hope y'all had a great Wednesday.  I finished putting the ornaments on the Christmas tree and put out a few decorations.  Still need to do the beading on the tree to call it totally finished.  I hope to finish tomorrow and then I will post a picture of my handy work. 

I've started to cut the chip board for a project I hope to start and complete this month. Am I the only one that has such a problem cutting a 3/8" strip of chipboard?   I need three and I have three but none are the same size and I did measure it before I cut.  This is very discouraging!  Tom just shakes his head as I struggle so.  I will be doing this project at an all day event with a friend.  Between the two of us we might just get it finished in time for Christmas. 

I am also making myself a recipe book from scratch.  I cut the chipboard earlier without any problems.   The papers I will be using are from Graphic 45, just love this line of paper, very vintage.  If and when I finish, I will post some photos.  Well, I'm off to play with my papers.  Until later, have a great evening.......

E-mail link.....

My friend came by this evening and put the e-mail link on my blog.  When you visit next time, subscribe using your e-mail address and whenever I add a new post you will be notified through your e-mail.  How great is that? This is new to me but really makes it convenient for y'all.  I follow several blogs this way and it is really great knowing when a new post has been added.  I look forward to having you visit my blog and really appreciate the comments some of you leave.  Makes my day! 

Demo Day

The demo day with my up line went well yesterday.  We started a little after ten in the morning and finished after five in the afternoon.  The six of us did a mini card swap and all the cards were very nice.  I am posting a picture of the swaps.  We also did several make-n-takes which were really over the top.  Some of the techniques I will use again in my card classes.  Posting the make-n-takes also.  Hope y'all enjoy the cards.
