October Gathering at Marge's

Last night produced another set of winning cards. It was the monthly class held by my friend and Stampin' Up demonstrator Marge. It is such a great group of women that go. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I am picking my sister up at the airport tonight for a quick visit. I haven't seen her since March so I am really excited!!

When Good Cards Go Bad

I have decided while I like all the elements of this card (except my coloring...it stinks tonight) it just does not work for me. As I was just telling one of my blogging friends, my husband is infamous for telling me "That's nice," when I show him my cards. He broke the mold and asked if I had gotten the images from the SciFi channel when I showed him this one. Go figure. Anyway, I have tomorrow off from school in observance of Columbus Day and with luck, I'll steal away for an hour or two to try again.

Digital Scrap in a Flash

It is truly amazing how fast you can put together a page when using PhotoShop Elements and a few digital goodies. The elements are from a kit I downloaded by Lynn Griffin. I'm working on a page for my cousin now that is taking me a bit longer to finish because for the life of me, I can't find the picture I want to use. Hope you are all having a great weekend. The weather is fabulous here in SE Pennsylvania with another beautiful day shaping up for tomrorow.

Blog Candy at Lim's

I was cruising through my usual blog spots and came to my blogging SBS2 sister Alana's, who shared a link to Lim's great blog candy offer. If you want to check it out, hurry, the winner will be picked on the 11th of October.

Halloween "Treasure" Boxes

I had fun with one of the new Big Shot dies that creates a 3x3 shaker box--it is just deep enough to hold six Hershey Treasure bars. When I mass produce these in October for a few special people I want to be sure to stamp the bar wrappers with web or spiders to add the finishing touch...they look a little bare right now.

Paper is from DCWV and the stamp is from SU's Tags So Much.

Spammers

I have been getting auto-generated comments of a spammish nature so while I hate to do it, I'll be turning on the mumbo-jumbo letter verification feature for those posting comments. Sorry:(

Marge's August Cards

Had a great night with the girls at Marge's last night. Marge always has great cards for us to make and this month was no exception. I also got a look at the new SU Catalog! It has some really great stamps in it this season. I ordered a Flower for All Seasons and will look forward to playing with it in a couple of weeks. Next month at Marge's is Christmas in July--Revisited. Each girl brings a card to share or a dessert (the Weight Watcher in me hopes there are a lot of cards to share but some of the desserts that have been shared at previous gathering have been de-lish). I'm going to start working on my card now so when school starts, I'm ahead of the game.
