My Card Went to CHA

I didn't make it to the Winter CHA show

 in LA this year but my card did.

To the Greeting Farms Booth.

I sent them this sweet card  that

they selected from some others I had submitted. 

And for doing that they sent me one of 

the Greeting Farm Stamps individual stamps 

of my choice. 

You can see my card in the upper right hand corner 

of this photo that appeared in their recent newsletter!

Thank You Greeting Farms for the privileged 

to be among the many that were selected.

pictured here are

Lisa Hjulberg, Kim Yu, a former Team Anya Guest, and Sparks.

Assorted Projects

More fun projects with Deb.

On out last creative Friday Deb brought over these clear 

Cupcake boxes that she has a die cut for. 

My top and insert piece she cut out of green card stock. 

Here is what I ended up doing to decorate the box.

Embossed the paper with a Cuttlebug folder

Recollection bling colored with alcohol inks.

Prima flowers and Irene's Gardina flowers.

Sequin trim and MS punches.

She also brought me one of the Michale's wood boxes 

(that we find in the dollar section) to alter.

 I worked on that today..I was trying to clean up 

for a class on Saturday..oh well. 

Clean up will now be tomorrow.

 Back

We also experimented with some different types of 

 fabrics to make more fabric flowers. 

We named some potato chip flowers.

Too much to explain.

Anyway we moved onto the more typical lollipop style.

Deb seemed happy playing with the fire.

I got around to playing with the fire too and did

 a couple that night.

 Then Monday I spent the afternoon making some more. 

I call these my Steampunk flowers.

They really go well with the 

Graphic 45 Steampunk Deputante papers.

(e-mail me if you are interested in a couple of these)

I have used one of them to decorate the above box.

And I've been making stick pins and charms and 

I finished my bead soup project which 

I will reveal on the 26th of this month.
