Long Lost Recently Found Again Friend Birthday Card!

This is a special birthday card.

I am going to be sending it to a Long Lost Recently Found Again Friend. She was like my best buddy in middle school (Grade 7 &8) and then off to highschool we went. I ended up moving away in grade 11 but by grade 12 we had just gone our separate ways. Thought about her lots over the years and now thanks to Face Book we have reconnected. Wow, after about 18 years how things how changed, how our lives are different yet similar. We live across the country from each other now, but it has been fun to reconnect. I bet she has know idea that I have always remembered her birthday. I hope she will be surprised. I think I will tuck a Starbucks card inside so she can have a coffee/tea and think of me.

Been Busy....

Friday night was my monthly get together with my Stamp Club. Check out the cute projects I made. My Demo Carrie is so creative and it is fun to learn new techniques. This month we focused on the Halloween theme and made this cute criss cross card with invitation. Quick and easy to make. I think that I will make "K's" birthday invitation using this technique. Just something a little new and different than the usual invitation style.

Gotta love the SU printed hallowee paper. So vibrant are the colours. This card above is the waterfall card. Little more tricky to do...you pull the ribbon and the little mini cards fold out. This next little mini card is my pride and joy of all the things I have made this past weekend. I just love this stamp. The best part was that it cost me .90cents at Michael's!. Lucy me..all the Halloween stuff was on sale and the stamps were too! I used my cuttlebug embossing folder - bloom dots, my scallop punches and my SU markers for this card. I am really pleased how it turned out. I will probably make a few more of them to give to some of my co-workers.

The next card (hey, I told you I was busy this weekend!!) is made using a brass template and embossing paste. Easy but more time consuming as you are waiting for drying time. This card features my new stamp....the faux stitching. No more using my sewing machine now!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is Thanksgiving out on the rainy west coast and it is a perfect time for your son to play in a Soccer Tournament! Oh but he had fun, played goal and made some saves so he was happy.

Here is a card I made at my SU Demo's house on Friday night. The pumpkin is stamped on watercolour paper and coloured in using my aquapainter. Fun to use it. Little bit of masking on the pumpkins. I am pretty pleased with the end result.

Happy Thanksgiving To All!
