Scrapbook pages for Monday, May 25th!

Well, this is the first time I have had anything done so far ahead, but since we are getting our new travel trailer on Saturday, I was afraid I would not have time on Sunday to scrap!  So... here are the pages!

Paper: Blossom paper packet
Card stock: White daisy, glacier, smoothie lagoon, pear
Stamp sets: D1649 Blossom Cardmaking Workshop, C1612 Shower Flowers, and S1505 Just Sayin" (May Stamp of the Month)
Inks: Lagoon, pear, smoothie, sunset, glacier
Other:  Shinhan black marker, Cricuit

There is plenty of room for additional embellishment, and the "bloom" can be an entrance into other themes (bloom'n idiot) (blooms of spring) (youth in bloom) etc. 

As always, please bring your adhesive and scissors.  There is a lesson in using the Blossom paper, so please bring your paper cutter (or you may use mine if you don't mind a wait).

We will have a card to do as well, if you finish early!

Happy stamping!

Kathy's gathering, May 11th

The weather has been so cold and a little dreary (at least for May), so I thought I'd "think summer".

Here are the 2 cards we'll be making tomorrow night...

This first card uses the new Taste of Summer paper packet... love these colors!  I paired it with juniper card stock... also used white daisy card stock to stamp the images.

Stamp sets:  C1595 Hello Summer, and B1478 Ice-Cold Summer
Inks:  Thistle and Canary
Misc:  white glitter trim, liquid glass

This second card is a "pinwheel fold" card.  You may notice I have extra fold lines on mine... you will not have them on yours because you won't make the mistakes I made!  I have used Lollydoodle paper (retired), and white daisy inside.

Stamp sets:  C1612 Shower flowers, and D1635 Assorted edges

Inks: Cotton candy, pear, and slate

I did not add any message to the pinwheel fold card, and something different could be used place of the sun on the Taste of Summer card.  I thought something about "making lemonade out of lemons" would be cute!

As always, please bring your adhesive and scissors.  If you have a scoring board you might bring it... otherwise we'll be sharing mine.  I will also tell you how to do the fold without a scoring board.

Happy stamping!
