Wonderful Weekend!

Well, the weekend was wonderful and fun! Not much sleep though I think I got more than most. The weekend was a crop hosted by my upline, Evelyn Wood. I don't do much/any scrapbooking and that is what everyone was doing there. I had no idea as I had never been to a crop before. Ha! Ha!
I took some tools, two stamp sets ( Vintage Vogue and With All My Heart) and some white, black and Bermuda Bay cards stock with me, as well as the new SAB paper pack Welcome Neighbour. All my stuff fit into the Big Shot Doctor's bag; most of the others looked like they had moved everything they owned into the hall where we were staying. There were 20 of us so there were lots of paper and tools everywhere.
There were a two Make and Takes which I did and an amazing goody bag; I knew ahead of time there would be a card swap so I figured I would work on those there as well.
This is one of the cards I came up with with limited the supplies I had.
It was really fun and challenging at the same time.

This card is using the new SAB paper pad( three different designs), the Butterfly Wings Emboslit, Bermuda Bay and Whisper White card stock, the large oval and the scalloped oval punch, the sentiment comes from the Vintage Vogue Set in the new Occaisions Mini Catalogue.

I will show you more as the days go on over the next little while so stay tuned.

Giant Acrylic Clothes pins

I found these giant acrylic clothes pins at our local dollar store and decided I could alter them with paper.
Well this is what I came up with and they are very cute/pretty if I do say so myself.
They came in different colors but I picked up the clear ones and they measure 6 inches long by an inch and 3/8.

There is a space on the back side of these so the DSP just slides into it and I secured it with some mini glue dots ; I then just added punches and ribbon to decorate them.
For the pink and red one I used the new Sending Love Specialty paper and the With All My Heart stamp set, the new Extra Large Flower punch, Pretty in Pink Epoxy Brads and the Beautiful Wings embosslet all from the new Occaisions Mini catalogue.I added a Real Red gross grain ribbon bow( I haven't got the new satin ribbon yet, but it is on it's way), there is also some dazzling diamonds on the red areas of the flower at the top but the picture doesn't show this.




The second one; I used the Tea party DSP from the IBC, I stamped the scalloped circle from the Vintage Labels set in the SAB catalogue in Certainly Celery then added a Cameo Coral mini flourish and a basic black "friends" from the Tiny Tags stamp set in the Occaisions Mini, a celery ribbon from the retired SAB from last yeat and a tiny tag "for you" punched with the new punch in the new mini was tied on with a small piece of linen thread.

Hope you enjoy!
I am off tomorrow for a stamping/crop weekend retreat that my upline is having. It should be a blast and I hope to get alot of stamping done. I will share when I get back.
