A Crafty Weekend

Have you ever invited 25 of your favorite crafty friends to your house for a weekend of crafting? Sounds pretty crazy, but boy, was it ever fun!!!

We started the weekend with some card make and takes, then moved quickly to making a tri-shutter album and conducting a Copic marker technique class...of course, there was plenty of food and drink the whole weekend. A fettucine alfredo dinner was provided by our wonderful husbands! They are such great sports.

After dinner we visited, worked on our own projects and worked with the cutting on the Cricut. Most of us have Cricuts, but it was fun to learn new ways to use this very powerful tool. We were enjoying ourselves so much, we did not realize it was getting late until 1:00am!

We began Sunday morning with breakfast on the patio on a beautiful Texas morning. Everyone worked on their own projects until the afternoon when we started our group projects with a Stampin' Up card make and take.

We finished the day with colored pencil/Gamsol coloring and Distress Ink and water coloring technique classes.

Now, on to storing all the crafting supplies...more to come from the weekend, we have pictures...lots of them...thanks to my wonderful hubby!

For all you participants, I'll post the link to the web album when I have the photos uploaded.

Happy Crafting!

Curtis Goes Fishin'

This card is my entry in the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge #117.  The card is made from Stampin' Up cardstock and features one of my favorite Kimmie stamps, Curtis.  I colored Curtis using my Copic markers and then embellished the card with some scrap designer paper I had with fishing lures on it along with some ribbon I purchased a while back from Eyelet Outlet.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment that comes with Curtis on some white cardstock inking around the edges and attached it to the card using Stampin' Up dimmensionals.

Have a great week!

Celebrate!

Abby and I have been crafting all weekend.  She made a wooden pen with her Dad last night.  It turned out to be a really cool result.  Here is a picture of the pen...

We have spent most of today sewing, but I finally got around to making a card for the Friday Free for All over at Stamp TV.  The theme is to make the focal image with a drop shadow.  Here is my attempt at making it look shadowed.  It sort of makes it look like you already began celebrating.  LOL!  At any rate, here is the card...

Have a great evening!
