Sale-A-Brate at Jenn's workshop

Well, I'm sad to report that no one is coming to my Say It With Scallops class. Boo! But I am staying quite busy (even with spring break this week!) prepping for 2 workshops this coming weekend. The first is for Jenn, a gal I met at Holly's Workshop. Jenn is doing a more "traditional" workshop, where we'll make 2 cards and 1 scrapbook page using a simply scrappin' kit. I think I've said before, I love to do lots and make-and-takes! I used to get so bored watching an old demo of mine just demonstrate what to do. I like to let them DO it!

Anyway, here are the samples.

Botanical Blooms
Stamp Sets: Botanical Bloom (SAB), Sincere Salutation
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Whisper White
Stamp Pads (Classic): Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories/Tools: 1/8" circle punch, Wide Oval Punch, Satin Kiwi Kiss ribbon

I think I'll add some Raspberry Tart DSP to this design at the workshop. It needs a bit more.


Polka Dot Punches
Stamp Sets: Polka Dot Punches (SAB), From the Heart
Cardstock: So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue
Stamp Pads (Classic): So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue
Designer Series Paper: Delicate Dots (SAB)
Accessories/Tools: 5/8" So Saffron Ribbon (SAB), Full Heart Punch, BIG SHOT, Bigz Scallop Envelop Die

Can I just say how excited I am to use my BIG SHOT for the first time at a workshop! I hope people love it, because I already do, and I just got it on Tuesday. Anyway, this super cute card is basically cased exactly from Patsy Waggoner, who won the So Shelli Contest with this design. I think we can see why!

I have the hostess's approval for these cards. She says she loves them! I do to... and I hope they drum up some interest so I get LOTS of SAB orders! (I am like $300 away from getting a promotion to Supervisor... come on people, BUY!) :)

SAB Swap

I finally got my SAB preorders, so I got to make my swap this weekend. I am very happy with this card, and am proud to say I came up with the color combo all on my own! (I am very dependent on the Color Coach.... to a ridiculous degree!)

I made 16 of these for a swap, and I may keep this design as one of the cards for my upcoming SAB sampler class.... but maybe change out the sentiment to something more general like Thank You or Thinking of You.

I am looking forward to receiving my full heart punch soon! Cutting out 16 of these hearts was WAY too much work for me. UGH. This card would also be easier, and probably look better, if I had a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the hearts, but I don't have one, so I eyeballed it. Oh well. Aren't minor flaws what make homemade cards so endearing? :)


















Stamp Set: Polka Dot Punches
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Regal Rose, Whisper White
DSP: Delicate Dots
Stamp Pads (Classic): Regal Rose, Riding Hood Red
Accessories/Tools: Scallop Edge Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, White Taffeta ribbon, dimensional

I can't wait to place a big fat order on Feb. 1 so I can get the other SAB sets. The more I see of them, the more I like them. I'm sure I'll fall even more in love with them when I get my swap back next week. :)
