Ok, here we go. I went to Creating Keepsakes Convention in Valley Forge, PA and took several classes, hoping to learn some new things to teach. Well here are a couple of cards I did in a technique class, nothing I haven't done before and didn't even really get to do too much in the class, had to finish most of it at home. Although I think they did turn out nice, I added a rhinestone brad to give the flower card a bit more wow factor. The "happy birthday" card has stickles added to the scroll which is difficult to see in the picture.
The next 2 items are the shoebox swaps we did in the evening. I stayed with my friend Lorraine and her friend Karen. We had a great time and we took turns doing a swap an evening. The one is a book mark. There is a pocket in the back part so you can slip it on a page. The other is made from matboard from Sizzix. The opening for the picture was already there. Lorraine covered it with embossed cardstock.
Now the next 2 pictures are from a class I took. It's basically an acrylic album that stands up. It turned out very nice, I added pictures from last years trip to CKC. The group of us is me, Debbie, Ginger, & Linda. The picture next to it is Debbie & Karen. The green above their heads is a reflection from the grass. I also did some scrapbook pages & and envelope album, but haven't put any pictures on them yet, so when I figure out what pictures to use & fill them, I'll post them as well.
Ok, almost to the end. The next card is the thank you I designed for my son to send out from the graduation party we had back in July. Slowly but surely, I'll get caught up. Now for the last 2 pictures are of a birdhouse I've been working on. The front, back, & roof are made with metal. The roof is cooper that I "antiqued". I love the way it turned out. I used some retired SU DSP on the sides.
Well there we go, all done! Hope you enjoyed all the pictures. Cyndy
