November Stamp Camp

Well, it only ended up being me and Margarethe this time. Christine got stuck in Halifax County going to ER and under doctors orders NOT ti drive, so she had to chancel last minute and then both Carmen and Myra woke up feeling under-the-weather, so they had to cancel. Oh well, it is what it is! We still had fun. She did the Delivery cards pretty much like mine, just changed coat color on the blue one. I used Bermuda Bay Blends and she used a different Blue (I think lt. Night of Navy) and she changed up the Wise Men card as well.

November 2021 MPP - Gifts Galore

This is such a cute kit! Larger images than I though it would be and I love it. I hope we can order refills as I will need a few more of the boxes and I would love to make matching cards to go with them.

Tombstone Treat Boxes and a Halloween Party

I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them and knew I wanted to use them for one of my red hat groups and I was so happy when Pat asked me to make a treat box for the Scarlet Sophisticates Halloween Party that she and Elyse were hosting on Oct. 27th. I initially made her 24 and then she needed an additional 5. So we ended up with 29 in 5 different designs.

I also loved finding that Carmen had made a Halloween scene that included 2 past Halloween boxes I had made (a house and a coffin). Included some pics of the ladies in their great costumes.



Here are some pictures from our Halloween party. So many great and clever costumes. I was the dragon.

October Stamp Camp

Had 4 attendees, Carmen, Carmen's grandson, Demerus, Margarethe & Sharon. We had a lot of fun. I think Demarus had the most fun making cards for his wife (also named Carmen).

After everyone left, I added to the cabin card and then made a few more, each a little different. Harold liked them and wants me to make more for our Christmas cards this year (with the lighter blue background as you can see the embossed snowflakes better).









May 2023 MPP - Exploring In Color

I LOVE this month's cards, especially the ones with the buffalos. They remind me of our trip to hubby's sister's country home in...
