Good Morning! Had a great weekend. Tom and I drove up to northern Wisconsin to visit our daughter. She and Tom skied while sat in the chalet playing with the cards for my One sheet Wonder class. I really can't say who had more fun! I should also mention that it was about 0 degrees! Here are the two Valentines cards we made at my class on Monday. This was cased directly from Angie Leach at TooCool Stamping.com   This was by far our favorite. It was based on a card by Susan Campfield at Stampingto Share.com    The layout is the same, however I changed up the colors  It is amazing in real life!

Hello! I was able to spend time “in the basement” to create some cards. I used the stamp set Birthday Blooms that can be found in the new Occasions Catalog. I did case them from Pinterest, but added a few changes! This one used the Birthday Bouquet designer series paper, I love the Mossy Meadow with the Whisper White polka dots! This one I used the Deco Labels Collection Framelits to cut out the flower image and embossed a layer of the Watermelon Wonder cardstock with the Decorative Dots embossing folder. Of course Dimensionals were used on both cards! I will post my class schedule tomorrow! Colleen

Happy New Year! I hope your Holidays were filled with Love and Joy! I spent lots of time with family, it was time well spend indeed!
