Happy New Year!!!

Well, I'm not sure what happened to 2017 but it is almost 2018.  The Journey Holiday Mini catalog will be ending on the 31st, that is tomorrow. If there is anything you want. please be sure you get it ordered. The new Bloom This Way mini catalog will be starting on Jan.1, there are a lot of spring and Easter items in this catalog. I will have a link here on the blog to the Bloom This Way beginning on Jan.1

The classes at the North Mesa Senior Recreation Center are going good even through the holidays. Our next class will be on Wed. Jan. 3 at 10:00 am. We are going to start the Peony calendar card, we will be doing this card over a two week period. This will give us time to color the peonies in one class and the other one to put the calendar together and finish the card. This card will fit in a standard A2 envelope and can be mailed. Here is the front of the card.
And the back of the card. You have a place on the back to write a note.
 
After this card we will be doing a more masculine type of a calendar card. That will also be a two week class. This is the front of the card. I will post more on this later.
I want to wish everyone a very safe and Happy New Year!
Hope to see you in class.
Hugs,
Delo

Christmas cards

I have been coloring images and making cards the last couple of days. Here are two with snowmen on them. The stamps are from Fun Stampers Journey in the Journey Holidays Trends mini catalog, the stamp set is Snowmen Days SS-0519, $20.95 and if you don't like fussy cutting there is a bundle with  stamps and dies, BD-0292, $34.10. The cardstock colors on the first one are Banana Cream CS-0087and Watermelon Fusion CS-0039 and Mirror Silver CS-0137. I used the Doily die DI-0105, Snow Blooms die DI-0253, Watermelon Fusion ink IP-0027 and Special Day Organza Ribbon AC-0316.
Not your traditional colors for Christmas but I love how these look.


The second card is done with the same stamp and die set Snowmen Days and the Snow Blooms dies.  The colors are Pool Play CS-0092, Whip Cream CS-0040 and Lavender Fusion CS-0028. Again not your typical Christmas colors but I love it. I also used Whip Cream ink IP-0009 for the snowflakes and sentiment and Journey White embossing powder IP-0098, Sparkle Silk IP-0126 and Special Day Organza Ribbon AC-0316.


You will find a link to both the Holiday Journey Trends mini catalog and the Inspiration catalog on the right.

What do you think, are the colors okay or are you a more traditional Christmas color kind of person?
Have a very blessed and wonderful week.
Hugs,
Delo

Christmas is coming!!!

This is an envelope I made to go in my A5 planner for Christmas. It is made with Fun Stampers Journey "Sleigh Ride" stamps and dies. Fussy cutting is not my favorite thing to do.




I used mostly Fun Stampers Journey products for this but the envelope flap was cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix On the Edge die and the brads were some I had in my stash. Santa's sleigh and the reindeer are on Journey Foam Squares, I used red and whip cream washi tapes and the patterned paper is from the Christmas Cheer prints.
I love how it turned out. 
I hope everyone has a very wonderful and blessed day.
Hugs,
Delo

Scrappin Frenzy

I had a wonderful and productive time this weekend at Scrappin Frenzy. This is an annual event held at the Pecos River Conference Center, what a beautiful setting to scrapbook or make cards in.



It is put on by Kim Ballard, Raeleen Reed and Leanna Bell. The prizes (door prizes and challenge prizes) are awesome, the food is fabulous and camaraderie is unbelievable, you get to see old friends and new friends you haven't met yet.  I will be going back next year. Thank you Kim, Raeleen and Leanna!!

September 2017 Bloom Box

Hi,
I thought I would post the card I made with the Sept. Bloom Box. I love this stamp set and this is not one of the cards from the kit. The cardstock I used is Summer Days card base, Dark Roast mat and Whip Cream to stamp on. The big sunflower and background are colored with Pan Pastels using Summer Days, Kiwi Slice and Raspberry from the Rich Sorbets; Pineapple Smoothie, Banana Cream and Lemongras from the Confectionary Days and Green Olive from Mother Nature. The large sunflower and sentiment are fussy cut and the sentiment is edged with Summer Days, Pan Pastel. I used the Journey Twine Natural for the bow on the sentiment.
This is one of the cards we will be making in October in class at the North Mesa Senior Center. I will post the date soon.


It's a pretty simple card but I love the way it came out.
I will post some more cards as I get them done.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Monday.
