Mother's Day Gifts

I purchased these "mini purse albums" at Michael's for $1.  I made one for each of my 20 students.  The following year I made a similar book using Sizzix Album die cut pattern.  All the moms have loved the gifts I have created for them.  I need to start getting creative this year because I have 29 students!!!

Card Swap 8/20/11

This was my first Card Swap in my Studio, and the ladies and I had a really great time.  It was good to get together again and learn how to make new cards.  I really missed having this class at the Memory Garden Scrapbook Shoppe.  Now we get to enjoy each others company in my home. 


As promised here are the pictures I took of todays class.  Our next get together will be in October!

 Jerry demonstrates her Back to School Card.  She's a teacher at heart!

 Ayde!

 Alma's first Card Swap and it looks like she is having fun!

 Everyone get started!

 Everyone loves the card they are making.

 Always learning new techniques.  Yolanda, taught us how to do a technique called masking!

Thanks Yolanda!

 I know Ayde you don't loke to take pictures. 

 Alma, hurry up!  You are holding up the line.

 Jerry was so good on waiting on us. 

 Christine got a little creative kick and added to her card.

 This is when Yolanda taught us how to mask in a card, this was a very interesting technique.

 Christine showed us how to make her card.  I loved the colors.

More photos of the girls getting to work on their cards.  Yeah Jerri and Alma!

This was our final result of our cards made today.  Each beautiful and unique in their own way.  Start planning your next card for our next gathering in October.  It will be your choice of what you would like to create. 

Serendipity Scrappin Studio

Here are a few pictures of my new studio "Serendipitiy Scrappin Studio." 

 This is one side of the room where I have paper racks and two tables.  Later, I will add more seating and of course more paper.

 This cabinets houses all my tools and Creative Memories Product.  Its neat because the drawers are really deep and holds all my stuff.  When I was working on finding a home for all my stuff, I never realized how much I had until this day.

 This is the other side of the room.  More tables and chairs. 

This is the back side of the room where  Joe built to hold the water heater, laundry baskets and of course the washer and dryer.  This way when friends come over they don't see all this.

I am looking forward to having scrapbooking classes, card making classes as well as crop nights and cricut nights.   

Administrative Professionals

I gave our secretaries a small token of appreciation for all they do for us.  Thanks ladies for an outstanding job!  The contents of the coca cola glass was a survival kit to them.  Later I will post the writing to you.

Snowman Soup

With the help of my friends Yolanda and Ayde I was able to create this envelope called "Snowman Soup".  I used the AccuCut machine to cut out the envelope, flower with stem and smile.  Ayde has the cart that created the nose for the cute snowman.  I gave these to all my co-workers at work.  Inside the envelope I filled it with a cocoa packet, candy cane and chocolate kisses.  I sealed it with a pretty poem entitled Snowman Soup.  It was really cute, I enjoyed making these it was great. 

40th Birthday Invite

This 40th invitation was created by Ayde on my Gypsy.  She helped to weld the numbers and turn it into an invite.  My sister-in-law loved them, she thought it was a really neat idea.

Breast Cancer Awareness

I made these for all my co-workers!
