Puppy Love for a Puppy Lost

 

A friend of mine recently suffered the loss of her sweet daschund, Bentley.  I was at Stamping Buddies last weekend and I saw this adorable stamp set.  The head/face is on the front of the card and the butt goes on the inside left flap so it looks like he is poking through the card.  The hind end sits on a spring so it wiggles, making it look like the tail is wagging!  It comes with the sentiment "Friends to the End" and I added some additional sentiments from the Stampin Up "D is for Dog" set that included "A dog wags its tail with its heart" and then the sentiment on the inside right side of the card that says "sorry for the loss of your best friend."  (not pictured)

I'm still working on my Copic marker coloring techniques but the card is pretty cute nonetheless!

Upcoming Class is Doggone Cute!

 

 

This adorable doggy layout will be the next class I teach at Stamping Buddies in Deer Park (Cincinnati) on June 9, 2013 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. 

 

The green and yellow circles in the corners of the layout are dog-tag shaped and you can choose to fill them with actual dog tags, your dog's name, pics of your dog(s), or these awesome new wooden pieces that Stamping Buddies is now carrying.

 

Please call the store at (513) 891-CRFT to reserve your seat!

No Time for Scrapbooking?

Like so many of you, my life has been crazy busy lately.  I have had some creative energy but no time to work with it.   Last night I blocked off some time to finish up some cards.  I hope to get some mosaic layouts done this weekend both for myself and for upcoming classes! 

 

 

These bicycle cards are for my nephew to send to folks who supported his school bike-a-thon fundraiser.

 



 

 

The hot air balloon card is to commemorate my mom's first flight in a hot air balloon this weekend.  It was a Christmas gift from my sister and I hope my mom just loves it!

 

 

Card for my nephew's kindergarten graduation!  I'm so proud of him for all the progress he has made this year.

Stay tuned right here for pics of upcoming classes at Stamping Buddies and Red Letter Journals - hope to see you soon!

LEGO LAYOUT - ONE MORE CHANCE

If you have been wanting to make the Lego Layout but haven't yet had the chance, please take advantage of the opportunity to do so on May 18, 2013 at 3:00 at Stamping Buddies in the Deer Park/Kenwood area of Cincinnati.  I am told that the manufacturer is no longer making this Lego paper so once my stash is gone, so is this layout! 

Please call the store  (513) 891-CRFT to make your reservations.  AND - as a bonus, there is a trunk sale going on at the store that day.  Crafters will be selling their pre-loved craft items out of their trunks, vans, etc. in the parking lot up until 3:00 p.m. so be sure to get there early so you can check out their wares!

Upcoming "Simply Spring" Class at Red Letter Journals

We'll be offering a Spring themed class at Red Letter Journals on Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.  Yes, that's right, I said 9:00 a.m.  We're starting bright and early because there are some other great events going on there that day, as well.

The layout features the "Simply Spring" line as well as cardstock in soft coral and sage.  It would be great for spring, Easter, or even baby/baby shower pictures. 

Please call the store to register 614-539-3900 before May 6th.

Reminders!

 

This is a reminder that I will be at Red Letter Journals in Grove City tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. (April 6, 2013) offering the OSU layout.  Please contact the store to reserve your seat!  614-539-3900

Also, for those of you who need to restock your grid paper supplies, please remember that Stamping Buddies carries grid paper for sale by the sheet ($1.29).  She recently got in some new colors including ginger (a sandy, speckled brown) and mango (a rich orange).  She also has black, white, bright bahama blue, lotus (soft green) and sunflower yellow.  And, Stamping Buddies sponsors my my cropportunities meetup.com group, which means that members get discounts in her store.  Check out the details on the meetup site and stop by to see Pam!

Creative Memories Candy Shop Layouts

 

I am working with Creative Memories Consultant, Kathleen Groeschen, in Mason to offer a joint Mosaic Moments / Creative Memories workshop.  We are creating the above mosaic using CM's "Candy Shop" paper pack. 

 

Keep in mind that the patterned papers can serve as mats/backgrounds for your photographs, or you can replace any of the pieces with your own photographs, solid color cardstocks, etc.  Also, as with all page patterns, you can rotate one or both of the pages to modify the appearance or make it fit your photographs (vertical, horizontal, etc.)

 

I have also created the following additional class samples by combining the remaining papers in the Candy Shop pack with Raspberry grid paper and Spring Green grid paper.  I will have these grid paper colors available for the students to purchase on the date of the class.  If you (or your Creative Memories consultant) would like to work with me to bring a similar workshop to your location, please contact me via email: owensaunt1@aol.com.
