I Just created two Meet-Up Groups to get crafty or want to be crafty people together each month to inspire each other to create and share what we do with others! It is a great way to relax and have fun.

Please click on the links below to join us and get notifications. It is FREE for you to join Meet-Up groups.

Tri-State (OH/WV/PA) ePaper Cutter Crafts Meetup - Do you have an electronic paper cutter? Are you thinking about buying one? I have a Cricut Expression, Explore and Imagine and a Silhouette Cameo. The center has a Brother Scan & Cut that we can use.

Come join us the First Sunday of the month from 2-5 pm. Click Here for all the details.

Handmade Greeting Cards Meetup - Do you send greeting cards? Do you use rubber stamps, ink and paper to create cards and other items? Would you like to try your hand at making unique, hand-made cards?

I look forward to sharing my LOVE of rubber stamping and creativity with you.

Designing a card

1/27/2015

Sometimes what I see in my head can quickly turn into a finished card. Not the case yesterday. It took several tries to get to the final one that I was happy enough to make for a swap at Leadership. Below you will see pictures of my first attempt to final card.

I was challenged to use #FlamingoLingo stamp set that benefits Ronald McDonald House. Stampin'Up! Donates $3 for every set sold to RMH. SU has donated over $1million over the past 10 years to this worthwhile charity.

Sale-a-Bration 2015 sneak peak

12/18/2014

starting January 6 to March 31 2915 you get a free gift from Stampin'Up! For every $50 of products you purchase. I just łove flowers especially stamped or paper ones that don't wilt and die. There is a set called lotus blossom in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. I stamped it on the envelope to go with an Anna Griffin card I made several years ago. Let me know if you want an Occasions catalog and SAB brochure.
