Greenhouse Gala Thank You

Below are some Top Note boxes I made using the Greenhouse Gala designer series paper.  I gave them to teachers at my school who worked so hard on the first edition of a yearbook for our students.  I would like to say "thank you" again because I know one of those teachers will be viewing this page!

Bold Blossom Easter Card

This is the card that I gave my husband for Easter.  It isn't a very "manly" card, but I loved it and wanted to keep it.  Whenever I want to keep a card, I always give it to my husband!



The card features the Bold Blossom stamp set and the Bold Blossom punch.  I love when punches can be used with stamp sets.  It saves so much time!

Punch Bunch Baby Card

This is a simple baby card using DSP and a stamp from the Sale-A-Bration Punch Bunch set.  I made several of these cards since several of my friends and co-workers are (were) pregnant.  Guess what?  Everyone had a boy!  I'm glad I used Bashful Blue as the main color!



Brayering

Back in March, my mom treated me to a Michelle Zindorff brayering class.  (If you haven't heard of her, she is the Queen of Brayering!)  We drove close to five hours to attend her class in Syracuse, NY.  It was well worth the drive!  We learned a lot of great tips to help with our brayering skills.  I'm still practicing, but will be having a brayering class over the summer.  It is such a unique technique - one that will enhance your card making skills!

Below is a card my mom made me for Mother's Day using the brayering technique.  Thank you Mom! 



Regionals Are So Much Fun!

One of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is all of the training that is available.  I was fortunate to be able to attend two regionals this year.  The first regional I attended was in Baltimore with my mom.  We had such a great time!

We had such a fun day stamping, especially since my upline and other Stampin' Up! friends were there!



In March, I attended another regional in Hartford, Connecticut with my mom, my sister-in-law, Dawn (We were allowed to bring a guest to this regional!), and Dora.  Dora was one of the presenters and did such a great job!  It was so exciting seeing her on stage, and it was a lot of fun sharing the event for the first time with both Dora and Dawn!  

Dawn ~ I hope you don't mind that I'm sharing this picture!
