Stamping for fun

Decided to use the extra Little Ladybug stamp images I had from the Sr. Center last month and the Stampin' Up! Blends Markers vs colored pencils used for the Sr. Ctr. Love the how much brighter the colors look. Also used the to color in some non- Stampin' Up! images giving to me by a friend. She knows how much I LOVE dragons. I only use Stampin' Up! cardstock. Haven't found any other brand I like as much. Love the color choices, weight of the paper and that we have ink and many other things in same color choices.

January 2020 - I'll Bee Yours

Now this set thrilled me to no end! My Red Hat Chapter is the Buzzin' Busy Bees so this kit and the new Honey Bee Bundle in the new Occasions catalog are my FAVE!  Guess what my ladies will be getting for our luncheon on Feb. 13th - LOL!

Sr. Center Cardmaking Day

Another fun day at the Westmoreland Lifestyle Ctr. in Colonial Beach. They had fun arranging their hearts on the Valentine's Day card and then coloring in the birthday card. Love it when the change theirs up a bit. The ladybug one was pre-stamped, so no changes with it other that the way they colored it, maybe. Paul was also there, but just watches, so I always make him a card as well and I either make one of each for Cindy, the Center Manager or I give her my samples if no time to make an extra set or no extras if a larger group than expected arrives. I usually prep for 8 attendees, so this time I made her a set. No pics of ones I made for her and Paul this time, since same as my samples.

My sample - Hearts Bundle (2020 Occasions catalog)and Stone 3D Embossing Folder (2020 Sale-a-brations catalog)

 My sample - Little Ladybus stamp set (2020 Sale-a-brations catalog Hostess set)

 BJ's cards

 Delores' cards

 Dottie's cards (Frances' daughter)

 Ethel's cards

December 2019 MPP - Something For Everything

Got my box late, it was supposedly delivered on Dec. 22, but I never received it and whoever did get it didn't return to me. Hope they enjoyed it. Called Stampin' Up! after another week of waiting to see if it was returned and they sent me a replacement. A very versatile set. Did the first ones per instructions and saving rest to change up and decide on sentiments as needed.

November 2019 MPP - Winter Gifts

Just as I thought, the tags are fabulous. I also see lots of potential to use the elements for cards as well.

October 2019 MPP - Winter Woods

OMGosh! What a beautiful card kit. I absolutely love it! I have seen soooo many alternate versions that are lovely. I only did the original instructions, but hope to play some with it later.  The November kit is going to be tags that coordinate with these cards. Can't wait to see them.

So pretty!

October 2019 Stamp Camp

This month was just Margarethe and I, so instead of cancelling we decided to just get together and create our own cards, so no prep work for me.

 My creation

 My creation

 This is one that Kathy Schutty created for me at my request, before she knew he couldn't come. Love it!

 She created it to match this treat box she made for the Christmas party for my Busy Bee red hat chapter that she is also a member of.

 Margarethe's creation. Inspired by one that she saw on splitcoaststampers.

 She liked mine and made this one. Putting her own sentiment on it later.

Her Santa card.
