Club Card

Hello Everyone!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day.  Life has been pretty busy lately-go figure, right?  But today I took the day "off", I say that lightly considering I have been cleaning and taking care of the kiddos all day.  But I took today more or less to catch up on the house.  So far so good.  

Anyways, I wanted to share a card I did with my club last month.  I wasn't originally "sold"on this set or paper, but of course when the paper was about to go away I started to use it and regretted not digging in sooner.  The stamp set is Apothecary Art, now one of my new found favorites:)  I just love how easy it is to use!  

And was thrilled to find out it will be back in the upcoming catalog.  Love it too?  You can still order it!  Stampin' Up! extended the stamp sets that are carrying over from the occasions mini and made them still available for purchase!  

Craft Project Central

Craft Project Central has some great projects this month!

Teacher Appriciation Thank Yous!

So for teacher appreciation week I decide to invite all the teachers to an evening of making cards on me.  Here is the invite that I sent out!  

 Here is the close up, simple but when you make 18 of these and 24 of the staff appreciation ones you can only do so much:)  

Hope they can all make it!

Club(s) 3 -d projects

Hey everyone!  Here are the projects I did for the 3-d item at club this month  I decided to do a similar project to the tutorial I had created for Craft Project Central last month.  Why not kill two birds with one stone, right:)

Here is the project we did for my standard club.  We turned the 3x3 card box into a tea box, added a few bags of perfectly coordinating Tazo tea, and stacked the tea cups up!

For my advanced club we did a larger tea box.  I toned down the pearls a bit but other then that it is the same as my tea box from he tutorial.  Visit Craft Project Central to purchase it!  

Have a great day and don't forget ALL May comments will be entered for a chance to

Club(s) Gifts:)

So my new round of club(s) started last week and we had a blast...

I have a lot of new members so now I have two clubs going, which is very exciting since it is probably my favorite type of event.  It is a great deal since the class is practically free:)  All you have to do is commit to an order each month for the length of the club.  My two current ones are 8 month clubs and I am currently taking names for a third club to start in June!  I need a minimum of 6 (max 8) members to get is going...I am half way there, so if you are interested in joining email me right away with "club" in the subject line and I will add you to the list!!!  This is the best way to learn new techniques, make great projects, and best of all get lots of product of your own!  Plus earn FREE merchandise!!!  Check out my stamp club page with the link at the top of my blog(right under my page title) to get all the details and just email me with any questions.

So enough about that and on to the pictures...

 Here is my Hostess gift to all of my members.  The first club I always "welcome" everyone with a handmade gift from me.  This round I decided to alter notebooks!  I figured if nothing else they could write down ALL the stuff they wanted to buy in them:)  

Above is a close up

And here is the second set, sorry I didn't show you the detail as much of this set:)

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!  All comments in May will be entered in a drawing for BLOG CANDY!!!!!

Parks and Rec Cards

As I have posted many times before, I teach a parks and rec class (almost) every Tuesday evening at my local Parks and rec.  Each class we make 3 cards, 3 different designs.  I do my best to give them variety and try to take request:)  This time around we made a feminine, sympathy and masculine.  A good mix:)

Jog-A-Thon

Kamili had a Jog-A-Thon at her school last week.  The morning of it she informed me she was a very slow runner and didn't want to be any part of it!  She said she always is last at PE and just cant run good!  I actually felt bad for her, until she started running!  HA!  Liar!  Seriously I hate to accuse my child of that, but she is fast.  She may not have had the most laps but pretty darn close!  She did great!

 Before the race..

 During the race..

And after, showing off all of her laps she ran...17!

Park and rec cards

Hey Everyone!  Sorry to be off the blogging for the last week +!  Life seems to do that to me from time to time!  

I wanted to share some cards I made a little bit back(the first clue is probably the Easter card:)

This card is a CASE, I saw something similar somewhere:)  Sorry I think it was on Pinterest, but I have to be honest I saw it, moved on and then a week or so later made this!  

This next card is simple but cute:)   I love this little chick!

The last card today would be perfect for a wedding or anniversary!  I love the white on white(well actually naturals white on naturals white!)

Easter Eggs

Here are my kiddos dying the Easter Eggs!  

I made Zavian strip down to his pamper to avoid as much damage as possible!

 He worked very hard at dyeing them, and surprisingly was extremely patient.  Until he figure out that he likes how vinegar taste and wanted to drink the water:)  

Here is my little Makai posing for her picture.  I was bummed that the individual shot of Kamili didn't turn out:(  Regardless it was a blast!  I had fun with the three of them and they had fun eating ALL of them!
