My House

What Happened Here?

Wow!! This is my basement after the Halloween class/card class/scrapbook class last night. It was a lot of fun....and very busy. I was pretty exhausted afterward and didn't clean up. So here is my mess, and for those of you who know me, this is pretty typical.

These are the cards we made in the "man-pack" card class. My favorite is the owls. The "celebrate You" card was designed by Maralee Babcock. My version is a little more manly than hers was.

I will post more later about the new Big Shot club!!

Big Shot Sample

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Just the same as everyone else, I have been very busy. Someday I will find a good balance in my life where I can get everything done....this is not the day.

This sample is using our new Sizzix Big Shot. I love this machine. It die cuts not only paper, but many other materials. You can use any die on this machine no matter what system it uses.

The card uses Ruby Red and Naturals Ivory Cardstock. The stamp set is Season of Friendship from our new Holiday Mini catalog. I used chocolate chip, ruby red, and pumpkin pie ink. I also used pumpkin pie ribbon. The last thing....a horizontal slot punch. Of course I had to use a punch.

Have a great day!
