Spring card (a little late) :)

I saw this card made by Terry Morelli and HAD to make it. It was supposed to be for springtime, but.....I got too busy. :)

Happy Graduation to both my girls!

This week, one of my daughters will Graduate from Grade 8 and the other from Grade 12. I am so very proud of both of them, so I had to find the perfect card to make for them and came across this card, made by Jackie Topa and thought, perfect! I made one with the diploma for my Grade 12 graduate and the one without for my Grade 8 graduate!

Happy Graduation, girls! I'm so proud of you! :)

What a fun party!

Wow, we had so much fun at my Tropical Party! We had some good laughs and got to make these fun items too! Thanks to Becky Roberts and Sherianne Buehler for the designs! Next month, we will be making the Gerbera Daisy below, as well as another cute item I will post later.

Tonight I am adding a picture of my "mascot". Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love giraffe's, so when I saw this, I had to try to make it! I found the directions, but I did not have many of the punches needed to create this fine creature. So, what did I do? I winged it! I freehand cut many of the pieces I needed, so I hope it looks ok!!

Enjoy and talk soon! :)

Tropical Fun Party!

This is such a fun and easy project! If you would like to come learn how to make it, I am holding a "Tropical Make and Take" this Wednesday June 22nd at 7:00 pm at my place. We will be making this fun purse, as well as a tropical "straw" bag (to be pictured shortly). Also, you can get a speak peek at the brand new Summer 2011-12 Stampin' Up! catalogue and have a chance to try some of the new items from that catalogue! Come get some great tips and have a good time! R.S.V.P. jbhartie@sympatico.ca

Gerbera Daisies

Hi everyone!

The other day I was on a website and fell in love with the Gerbera Daisies that someone had created!! Naturally, I just HAD to find out how to make these gorgeous, life-like flowers with all my Stampin'Up! stuff! Luckily, I found a tutorial on Shelley Bohan's blog that just blew me away!! Here is my first attempt! What do you think???
