Spring Framed Art

This is one of my favorite classes.  When I made the Winter one it was a huge hit.  Many of my customers don't make much in gifts.  Well let's just say that this was made by all kinds of people.  I had people doing the card class at one table that said I know I did not sign up for that class but can I make one?  Well I quickly cut more pieces (and it was a good thing I had bought extra frames).  I gave a couple of them as Christmas gifts to a few people that do things for me (beautician, etc). 

Well now that Spring is around the corner I realized I needed to out do my Winter Framed Art.  Yikes.  But I believe I did.  I love this one.  I am offering the class in either Crisp Cantaloupe or Strawberry Slush.  So you can choose which will work for you. 

A few people have already asked if they can make it at Janice's Creating Crop Retreat.  So if they are signed up for that weekend event I am doing it for them at their convenience.  If you are not lucky enough to be coming to the Retreat, but would like to make it contact me and we can set up a time for you to make it.  The cost of the class is $20 for the first one.  After that it is $10. 

My favorite time of the year is Spring.  My birthday is close to Spring.  I love tulips and daisies.  I love the first sign of birds making their nests and talking up a storm.  (My cats have been trying to get into the windows to see the birds).  So I know Spring is right around the corner. 

In another month I will start working on a Summer Framed Art.  By June I will be offering that class.  Janice

Washi Tape

I love how this card turned out.  It is using the gold washi tape.  So simple to use and make a card so beautiful.  Now take a moment and decide do you want to make this card?  If you do you best contact me today so I can still fit you into the Retreat next Friday and/or Saturday. 

This card also uses my favorite "candy dots".  Now just because it is candy is not why I like it.  I like it because the candy dots are so simple to attach and put the final touch on so many cards.  Then to cut the flower out and pop it just adds so much pizzazz to it.  What do you think? Let me know what you think.  I also like getting responses so I know you are really reading this and enjoying it. Janice

For that Wild Man in your life

Do you know someone that loves motorcycles?  Well here is a card for him (or her). 

I love the thought of being on a motorcycle and being on the beach.  Ok so now you know a little more about me.  I love the beach.  I would prefer to be at the beach most of the day.  This card will show you how to do the mirrored effect.  It is quite easy.  This is another card that the participants at Janice's Creating Crop Retreat will be making.  If you have not signed up yet.  I suggest you contact me immediately.  Time is running out.  Janice

Raccoon Card

I love this card.  It is so simple yet so fun.  The teenagers in your life will love getting this card.  You can make this card into whatever occasion you want to.  I love the bright colors.  What do you think?

Sorry I cannot figure out how to turn it so you can see it better.  But you get the drift.  Isn't he cute?????
Now you know I have never said I was an expert at the computer or technical things.........  But I do love to make cards and other craft items.  Now that I am good at.  So plan to attend Janice's Creating Crop Retreat on Friday and/or Saturday, March 21st and 22nd.  Yes it can be 2 fun filled days of crafting.  You don't stamp or make cards or scrapbook. That is ok.  Come and sew, crochet, knit, etc.  Contact me for more details.  Janice

Scrapbook Pages #2

Glad to see you back today to see the next scrapbook pages I designed just for Janice's Creating Crop Retreat.  It is going to be a Retreat that will inspire and put a smile on everyone's faces all weekend long.  Yes ladies we are going to have fun!!!!

Now since I am having the Birthday Card Buffet at this Retreat, why not have a 2 page scrapbook layout.  I choose the colors so you can use it for any sex.  No discriminating here.

The banners are so fun.  And the cupcakes are so easy.  Candles and more candles as we get older........  These pages lend themselves to many different sizes of pictures.  Of course I think everyone should journal so so I left room for that too.  Now you have to decide which one you will be making.  Soccer or birthday or better yet both.  Janice

Janice's Creating Crop Retreat

This is going to be a blast.  I am so excited to have stampers and scrapbookers coming to this event.  I have some fun projects for those of you that have signed up to come.  The scrapbook pages were so much fun for me to design.  I loved making the soccer balls.  If you have someone that plays soccer in your family you will want to make these pages. 

 

I cannot wait to show you how I made the soccer balls......  You are going to have so much fun making these pages.

Check back tomorrow for the other scrapbook pages that will be available for you to make.  Janice
