Wednesday Stamping Oct 21

This stamping day was a birthday celebration for Lois whose birthday is Oct 25. I made a Tex-Mex Tortilla Soup that was given in http://deedeecampbell.blogspot.com/ and Marie brought a delicious garden salad. For dessert, and because all of us are trying to diet, we had chocolate cupcakes made with a cake mix and can of pumpkin and topped with fat free Cool Whip. I forgot to take pictures of all the beautiful cards that were handmade and given to Lois. I suspect that in time they will show up on her blog, http://www.gingerbreadaholic.blogspot.com/.

As usual, each person brings a card and supplies for all of us to make. We walked away with some great cards. Thanks to all of my stamper friends because sometimes this is an added chore to our already busy lives.

Quilted Placemats

I love to make placemats and especially using fall colors. You start with a square in the middle and sew strips around it. It's a cut, sew and flip method and very fast. The next project is a Christmas table runner. It's probably the closest thing to a quilt that I'll ever do. I'm better with small projects.

Belated Birthday Card

I received this very sweet belated card from Kim Sears, my The Angel Company Demo. We started swapping when we were both Demos and we just never stopped. I have loved her cards from the beginning. She sent me the new fall/winter 2009 magalogue and it's a winner. Go visit her awesome blog at

Wednesday Sept 23 Stamping Club

Carolyn made the Halloween card using Stamps By Judith and a sample card from her website. Carolyn's added touch made it a hit and we all love it.


Lois made this trifold card to show us how the new StampinUp cups work. Oh my, what a fun card! So many possibilities....., oh geez.......

Marie makes us crazy thinking we won't like her cards. What is not to like??!!

The card is striking and we all loved the gold, the embossing, the ribbon, well, everything.

I made a fall card using one of Regina Easter's digital stamps from the Cutting Cafe.

Since that one was so quick and easy, I also had a Halloween card to do. The shoe was a download from Papercrafts magazine, Sept/Oct 2009 issue. I reduced it in size but plan to use the whole shoe as a card like they did.

We are missing 2 stampers. Laura went back to work and Vickie is taking care of her grandbaby and daughter. We miss them.

New Fall Bag

This is a new pattern for me. It is a Patchwork Purse and I found it in Antique Christmas Memories book by Judy Hansen. If you can cut, sew and flip, this pattern is very easy. I didn't do any quilting because I liked it as it is.

Wednesday Cards

As usual, each of us bring a card and supplies for everyone to make it. We all came up with some pretty cool cards and our Christmas card stash is increasing week by week.
