Today is the Last Day....

Today is the last day to get that last Sale A Bration order in to me so that you can make some of these cute cards.

On Saturday, I held my Wonderful Watercolor Class. These are the cards we made using the Happy Moments Sale A Bration Stamp Set. You can get this set FREE with a $50 order placed by 8 pm tonight. Online orders will be 12 midnight EST. Just go to my website at: www.christinepyrch.stampinup.net

I Love Happy Moments...

Another card that we made at Betsy's workshop last Thursday. The original was based on Shelli Gardner's (CEO and Founder of Stampin'Up!) Workshop of a Lifetime project.

I love this technique called paper piecing. The Sale A Bration stamp set Happy Moments has become a favorite of mine over the last few months. I have even used it in my Wonderful Watercolor class on Saturday. I will try and post the projects during the week.

Phew!....What a week!

This past week was extremely busy with club, a workshop and a class on Saturday. Many thanks to Betsy for hosting a fun workshop at her home on Thursday evening. Here is one of the projects we made using the Extra Large 2 Step Bird Punch in the Occasions Mini catalog. The Thank You Kindly Stamp Set was used for the sentiment. These are simple card fronts that can be used for a note set with envelopes.

Another Workshop project...

Here is the second project that we made at Demi's workshop.

Some Workshop Projects...

I want to thank Demi for hosting a workshop over the weekend at her home. She had a wonderful group of women, both novices and seasoned stampers, who like getting together and truly enjoy one another's company.

Hats off to you, Demi!

Here is one of the projects we made. The guests could either make the 6x6 scrapbook page or turn the same elements into a 3x6 card.

Some Thank You's...

I am always on the lookout for ways to use Stampin' Up! supplies. Here is my version using Fifth Avenue Floral and Thank You Kindly.

Hello....

I had the opportunity to be home for the past three days due to the weekend storm in lower Fairfield County. I really enjoyed the weather and took some time to stamp some projects for upcoming workshops, clubs and classes. This card uses the Hello Again stamp set on page 114 of Stampin' Up's Idea Book and Catalog.

Whimsical Words

This card was sent as a sympathy card. The sentiment in the Sale A Bration Stamp Set, Whimsical Words makes this perfect for sympathy, thinking of you, etc...

Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper

Seriously, here on the East Coast, I am so wanting Spring right now. Since Sunday, I have had a fever of 102. I guess you can call it Spring Fever?! Today was absolutely gorgeous! I wanted to celebrate the nice weather and show our Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper with a cute flower made with our circle punches.

From The Garden

I wanted to share this card from a recent class that I held. The set is from From the Garden in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Lots of Hearts

Hi Stampers,

Just wanted to see if you like my new blog design. I had Michelle Laycock from Laycock Designs work on this project. She was absolutely lovely to work with and I highly recommend her.

Since I keep bees, I thought if she added a bee or two to the design, that would bee in keeping with the theme. Let me know what you think?!! I always love to hear from all of you.

Now, onto the card. After all, isn't that why you came here? I guess I'm on a roll with this set. A quick post today to show an additional layout using I {Heart} Hearts. I will be adding a sentiment and when I do, I will repost.
