We had a nice evening. We had free tickets for the Charlotte Checkers hocket game (thanks to the Golden Boys) and invited some friends to come along with us. We drove downtown Charlotte right at 5:00 p.m. and surprisingly, there was no traffic back-up on I-77 which shocked all of us. We had dinner at a nice Irish bar / restaurant (yummy fish & chips!) and then walked over to the game. The Checkers lost by one but it was a good game anyway.

Feeling Sentimental
Sale-a-bration will be over before we know it. If you want to get a free stamp set, punch, DSP or digital download, you need to place your $50 order by next Friday, March 22. I love the Feeling Sentimental stamp set. I made this card of the telephone booth (don't think that is what is called in England though - telephone box??? not sure). I used my daubers to ink up the edges of the card. I used French Foilage to stamp the "dots" and script. The bottom of the card is torn with a piece of Early Espresso torn and adhered to the bottom. I used daubers to color the trill ribbon (retired) and frayed the ends.

Monday Mailer - October
I have a couple more birthday cards to share with you.
Now to my Monday Mailer. This is the card I made this week and mailed to Pam and Jamie. I used one of my favorite stamp sets, French Foilage. Our color challenge this week was Raspberry Ripple, Sahara Sand, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight and Basic Gray.
I sponged a rectangle in the center of the card with Sahara Sand and stamped the leaves around the rectangle. I cut one of the leaves out and popped it up.
Before I mailed the card (but after I took the pictures!), I added a sentiment that was die cut with the Itty Bitty Banner die.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Naturals Ivory
Ink: Daffodil, Sahara Sand, Basic Gray, Raspberry Ripple
Stamp: French Foilage
Accessories: Raspberry Ripple ribbon, Antique Brad

November Club Projects
I had my Stampin' Club meeting this week and I think everyone enjoyed the projects we made. I did it a little different this month mainly for my Thursday group which is larger than Tuesday's group. They all made the 3D project and a shaker card but were able to pick the 3rd card they wanted to make. I had made 4-5 cards with instructions and they chose their favorite. At the next club meeting, I will have the same kits available (except for the Christmas cards) for their choice as well as doing a couple of projects that all will make together. I am trying to eliminate the problem of everyone sitting around and waiting for the punch, stamp, ink, etc. If I can just train them to read the instructions that are sent to them and printed out, it would be a snap!
I haven't taken a picture yet of the 3D project that we did so I will share it later.
The shaker card is taken from the mini catalog because it is just so cute!! They did have an option of including another stamp image inside the card but most used the little girl from Gift Givers. Using the Shaker Rounds from the mini sure makes this an easy card to make.
Lovely As A Tree - done in purple and in Not Quite Navy and glittered. |
This one looks so much better in real life. The medallion in the middle is cut out and popped up and the whole thing is glittered with Dazzling Details |
I'm excited! We will be going to the airport tonight to pick Ashley up. She will be here for 10 days which I am sure will fly by. We are having a family dinner at an Irish pub/restaurant with my mom, my sister, Angela, Marianne and her family. I was hoping my brother could come but he will be working tomorrow in the mountains somewhere.
