Chatter BOX card workshop!

Here are 16 cards from our new SPRING/ SUMMER book papers! SWEETHEART, LUCKY, SOPHIA, BLISS, FANFARE, MAYBERRY, MIRACLE, and WINGS. Two cards each!!! I've designed this workshop to include 'traditional' and 'bling!' You can make all these cards and they look GREAT without the extras BUT if you love bling then you can add extras to make them "POP!" This first photo is all the cards with the "POP!" I will probably have two classes so you will have your choice of dates suited best for you! Please let me know if you are interested in more info! tonyamcc@twlakes.net or text or call 931.261.6033... I will send you the details! Close up... Also - as I posted these.. I realized I didn't post an individual picture of ONE of the "Sophia" cards... If you will look to the far right..(kinda middle) it is the one with a white card base and beautiful pink and greens with two silver brads at top right!! ;-)

All together with bling.....

Photo of all cards without the 'extras.' Still gorgeous right!?!? ;-)

Here's the "Chatter box." This box is included in the workshop. You will need to bring your own paper- Ill give you cutting guides and we'll put together at the workshop. So easy! Takes just a few minutes to cover these boxes...

After we finish you will have this! A cute box full of 16 gorgeous cards and envelopes.

OKAY- now lets look at these cards!!!

"Fanfare" is so much fun!! Obviously perfect for 4th of July and summertime photos, but this paper packet is so much more! Its going to be perfect for birthdays, beach, pool, anything FUN! Ive added ribbon, sparkles, and glitter glue to these two cards! They are perfect to "BLING" up this paper!

Here they are without the extras- still FUN!

I LOVE these next two cards!! This is from "BLISS" paper pack. All I did was add a small chocolate ribbon to one.... Here it is without the ribbon.. So elegant! Perfect for a wedding shower shower or bridal shower invitations.

"SWEETHEART"- SO sweet!

These paper packets are more versatile than ever! The card on the left is my all time favorite card to make for a baby shower. So simple and cute! These cards have been embellished with ribbon, sparkles, stamping, liquid glass, and glitter glue. I also love to make the type of card that is shown on the right.. its small and different..

Here they are without the bling. Still adorable albeit the card on the right DOES need that ribbon i think! ;-)

"Mayberry" with some pink sparkles, a lil glitter glue on top, and liquid glass on the 'leaves.' Mayberry with some ribbon on the card on the right.

Mayberry without 'extras' on left- dont know how that 'sophia' card (right) snuck in there! LOL I didn't get a picture of the two sophia cards together.

I LOVE "LUCKY" b/c I have a son and our family are outdoors alot. I love all the new spring/summer papers, but I was pleased to see a less "girly" packet for my boys's photos! :-) Here is my lucky cards with all the embellishments; buttons & ribbons. I love these new wooden buttons too!

Here they are without the buttons and ribbon... I think my boys may prefer them without! ha!

"Wings" with extra ribbon and pearls... I've also added liquid glass to the butterfly wings! Wings without extras.

"Miracle" all blinged up with some glitter glue, liquid glass, brads, and ribbon. I love this style of card!

Miracle without extras. Still so very dainty!

Keep in mind- You can use ANY sentiment you want on ANY of the cards! Bring your own stamps or use mine. (what I have on hand) You will need your basic tool kit- glue, scissors, paper trimmer, and any inks and stamps that you may have so you dont have to wait on mine. I will precut MOST of the paper unless you specify otherwise. This will save you TONS of time! Drop me an email or text or call for ALL the FUN details! Hope to see you there!

What a weekend!!!

So glad to be home today - TONS of laundry and cleaning to do but it was SO worth it! I love long weekend getaways! Wills birthday is coming up so we took him to the Wilderness Waterpark. Here is Aunt Amie and cousins Carter and Bryson about to get pounded with the water bucket!

My lil 80's rockstar! LOL He has to wear this b/c he has a hole in his eardrum.. :-( It did NOT slow him down even in the slightest!

A trail we done in the smokies before meeting the family at the park. ;-) Will is about to jump into a HUGE puddle!

Stopped for a quick photo. This may be the only time he stopped the entire trip! :-)

As soon as I get my house caught up I'll be working with "Bliss!" Ill post soon!

SEND ME YOUR ARTWORK!

I love it!!! This is the completed layout of Mrs Shawn's page I posted a day or two ago. Check out the adorable flowers... I believe she has used the stamp set from veranda too! Did you all do this "Elf on a Shelf" business at Christmas? Several of my friends do it and their kids LOVE it!! I may have to give it a go next year! Kelly used "merry pursuits" for this page. I love how the elf is hangin' on the letters! cute!

Keep it coming girls!! I love getting and posting other's talent! I got my Bliss workshop kit so stay tuned!

Some more Sweetheart!!!

Mrs Becca's! Mrs Kelly's

Mrs Shawn's

SOOOO Dainty!

Is this not the most precious little girl? Her name is Summer, and she is the star of my "Sophia" paper packet layout.. This paper has a lot of 'pear,' 'blush,' and 'hollyhock.' The packet also has the perfect amount of 'goldrush' in it- so pretty! I'll be teaching this class next weekend... It features a sanding technique and a paper flower...

Check out this beautiful stamping! This stamp set comes with the Sophia Workshop KIT!

Add some glitter glue and embellish! SO Frilly and GIRLY!!! Thanks Summer for making these pages COMPLETELY "Gawww-gus."

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

How cool are these hearts?!!? Loved making these! They were so fun! These chipboard hearts are in the new book. You get 20 hearts for $3.25! Love 'em! I took a sponge and colored them over. I used cotton candy pink and grey wool for the base color. I used versa mark pad to stamp on the background stamp. (Universal Backgrounds- love it! D1477- my new fav! you will be seeing it more on here I promise!) Then I sprinkled on my embossing powder- silver and pink, heat with your craft heater, and Wah-lah!!!! :-) I cannot wait to use these on some cards with that same stamped background! Here is a topstitch card from last year!!! Cute Cute for Valentine's day! I actually posted this last year - got the idea from another consultant! so simple and cute with the right paper!

Will's lil valentine's from his friend Sammie! LOVE IT!

Where have I been?

well- Ill tell ya- this box has something to do with it!! :-) I usually get the new products from the new books a lot earlier but I didn't have an open house this year so I just got this last week!!! I am always so excited to get this box! yikes! I've been creating lots of fun stuff!! I hope to get some of it up here soon!!! Below is the layout I needed to finish from my flip flap page and a cute pic of Will from the super bowl! I just throw these in any chance I can! LOL :-)

Remember this?

When I posted my "flip flap" pages- - I still had one more to go- well here it is! Du-Du-Du-Duh- Du- DAH- friu-frill (or provocative whistle attempt) LOL anyway- you get the point! (maybe! ha!)
