Time to start our Christmas Cards for 2012! I always take off December and January as there's plenty of Christmas stuff going on (or I'm exhausted from it all), but come February, it's time to begin again. Here are 2 of the cards we made this month:
Enjoy!
Last night we held our monthly group meeting where I shared my Leadership swaps as well as loads of info from Leadership. Donna Lyons-O'Hara shared these great cards as well:
Then it was home for me to make my Valentines for my beloved bowling league!
Enjoy!
I'm addicted to online classes - I admit it! Last week, one on www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com got started called "28 Cards in 4 Weeks." While there hasn't been anything new to me so far, it was fun to be reminded of some old techniques and had me looking through my retired stash as well - always a bonus! Here are a few:
A little masking and some Glimmer Mist:
Creating a background using paper scraps:Again using paper scraps, this time more neatly. Note the Sale-a-Bration papers and ribbons!
Clean & Simple trees! And that old favorite frame - just a ruler and black marker!
And for my Valentine, I used an old rub-on. How I miss those!
Enjoy!!
One of the highlights of any Stampin' Up! event is the swapping! Here are a few that my roommate Loree got (well, she made the roses and I swapped them out for her while she ate breakfast!!!):
Lovin' this little typewriter and just got this set to make cards for my journalism major son!!!
Simple yet effective!
And i just LOVE penguins!!!!!!
More soon!
We celebrated Heather's 50th birthday last night with a wonderful Mexican themed dinner complete with margueritas and sombreros. Here is my fun card for her as well as a group photo, and our hostess Denise in her son's taco costume!!! Truly a fun party!!!
Enjoy!
So here are the rest of the M&Ts that I (didn't) made (make). Yes, I'm going to get to them eventually! But at least you don't need to wait for me...
More fun to share coming soon!!!!
Enjoy!
Here are a few of the make-n-takes we made last week at Leadership. So much fun!!! You will likely see some of these in upcoming classes :-)
Thankfully there was a display of completed items as there was NO WAY we could finish them all (and not just me, either!!!). We even had a little note from Shelli telling us that which really took the pressure off. More tomorrow!
Enjoy!
So I was blessed with an awesome roommate, Loree Mezzanatto, who is a former Advisory Board member. Aside from her being just like me - naps, no standing in line, sitting in the balcony, etc.- she knows a LOT of people and never hesitated to include me! She often hangs out with CFO (and former NY Yankee pitcher) Scott Nielson, and we went two-stepping and out to dinner with him. What a wonderful experience! Thank you Loree and Scott!!!!
So I did what I said I would do - I took a Segway tour of San Antonio. I wanted the ghost tour but that wasn't in my (personal) guide's repertoire. But it was AMAZING!!! In a little over an hour, I saw some amazing highlights, including the Alamo, along with tons of great info about all of it. What a historic city! I need to revisit a few things in the daylight, but the evening lights were so awesome.
And yes, the Segway is truly easy to learn. In less than 5 minutes, I was actually comfortable. It was so hard to WALK back to the hotel as I was so spoiled to be able to zip around!
I still have lots more to post about leadership so keep checking back. Off to regionals this morning for more stamping!
