CRAFTDOC

I’m getting ready for our first scrapbooking retreat at our new church building.  We have more that 15 coming for the overnighter and it should be lots of fun!   Here are 3 photos I found on my computer -  Embrace life is the stamp set.  The first card uses the faux silk technique (stamp on tissue paper, color with marker then crumple, uncrumple and adhere).

Here are a couple of Easter Cards that I made with Never-Ending Joy.  They are for sale at the Sassy Peakcock Upscale Ladies Consignment Boutique – 4512 W 12^th St. Erie, PA.

Have a blessed Easter!

I call these correspondence cards.   You can easily make a stack of these to send a quick note.

 1.  Cut your colored cardstock backing to 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 (quarters).

2.  Cut your neutral cardstock to 5 1/4 by 4.

3.  Wheel (or stamp) across one side.  Add a sentiment if desired.

 Isn’t the new wheel special great!   I already have these 3 wheels (Fishy, Stems and Silhouettes and Sweet Stars) and love them!  I added some quotes from the “By Definition” stamp set.  These make great thank you and thinking of you notes.

I’m so proud of my son and the Red Barons First Robotics Team.  They traveled to Pittsburgh for the Regional Competition this past weekend.  In spite of many technical difficulties with the robot, they were in good spirits and won both the Website award and the Gracious Professionalism Award.  Here are some pages from their Team Album (featuring Stampin’ Up! alphabets and punches of course).

 Last week was crazy.  We used the BBQ grill on Monday (it was 60 and spring).  We had a terrible ice storm on Tuesday and Wed (see my poor birch tree).

The ice melted off on Thursday over an amazing afternoon of crackling and dripping.  Then on Friday and Sat we had our biggest snowstorm of the winter - 24 inches.  Here is our grill halfway through the storm.

After the storm  both grill and chair were completely covered!

The Occasions mini-catalog is now on-line (see catalog link to the right).  And I am planning an Occasions Stamp-a-Stack for Thursday March 13 at my home in Erie, PA.  Details are on my demonstrator website (link to the right).   We will be making cards for all occasions using stamp sets from the new mini as well as the main catalog.  Here are a couple of occasions coming up soon:  St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.  These cards are also for sale at the Sassy Peacock Women’s Consignment Shop at 4512 W 12th street across from the airport.  Stamp sets used are:  Pinch Proof and A Good Egg.  Don’t forget to get your SAB order in before March 17.  There are several people considering the demonstrator starter kit special - check that out soon- it’s a great deal!  Look at the Feb 18 post below for details.
