December 2015 MPP - One Great Year

This month's MPP will be used throughout the year.

November Stamp Camp

This month it was just Sharon and I, but we had a good time playing.

We made the same cards as I did on Fri. at the Sr. Ctr., but we stepped them up! I did forget to pull out the enamel dots. I added them to mine later and will give her some later if she wants them.

 This is the simple version of the card

 

Both of these are the stepped-up versions

 

 Stepped this one up by cutting out the scarf & the ear muffs and adding the shadowing under the penguin.

 

 

These are Sharon's cards:

 



Sr. Ctr. Christmas Cards

We made more cards for Christmas. Hopefully, they got what they needed for those they wanted them for.

I really like this month's kit. I made the holly card per instructions and 1 minor change to the holly card. Can you see it? Will wait on the rest to see what other's do with it.

October MPP - Blissful Bouquet

Love the colors in this collection. It came in a beautiful pink box for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I kinda wish it had been an awareness themed set as well, but still like this kit. Made my cards with minor changes from kit instructions.

Oct. 17th Stamp Camp

This month we started on our Christmas cards. Only had 2 attendees, but we had fun. I did the same cards we made at the Sr. Center the day before, but we stepped them up a bit. Here are my samples:

 Added Silver Glitter cardstock snowflake on scarf.

 

 One on left is stepped up with Brushed Gold Card stock (retired) vs Hello Honey card stock used on right. one.

 

 Same step-up done on this card with Brushed Gold.

 Bonnye was still a little under the weather, but wanted to stay out with us and visit. At the end she decided she had to snuggle with Carmen.

 

Update:

Timako was unable to join us on Sat., so we met up at Panera's on Monday, enjoyed a light lunch and then stamped. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to do it again sometime.

 



Only change we made was that we colored in the All Ye Faithful card

with Blendabilities (retired) vs colored pencils.

This was mine using the Blendabilities. I hope Stampin' Up! comes up with a replacement

for these that don't have any quality issues. I love working with these.

Sr. Ctr. Cardmaking Day

This month we are starting on their Christmas cards. I had everything pre-cut and pre-stamped and all they needed to do this time was assemble and color in the All Ye Faithful card. Even ones that I usually do the cards for assembled and colored. I was so proud of them all. Only one needed more assistance, but handicap keeps her from being able to do anything, but she loves to have the homemade cards.

They were also having their birthday month lunch party and invited me to stay. So nice to stay and socialize with them once in awhile after class.

 

They had 3 scarf color choices. Island Indigo, Real Red, Rich Razzelberry. Work of Art stamp set used. Sentiment from Versatile Christmas.

 All Ye Faithful stamp set. Joyous Season stamp set. Merry Christmas is from Sassy Salutations.
