Cards and Cocktails III

Today I want to share the third and final card we made at Heidi's and I think it's my fav! This card uses the "From My Heart" set on page 139 for the medallion and "Elements of Style" for the pretty flowers on the background.  Those of you who know me know I am not a shader - I light sharp, clean, simple - but I really like the sponged edge of the newsprint to bring out the focal point of this card.  Lovely - huh?!?

Frame and Gift Bag Class Results

So Thursday evening seven of us had a wonderful time at Heidi's creating a beautiful vintagey frame, gift bag and gift card set. I wanted to share with you my completed project. First, here is the gift bag and card - how pretty is that. Here's a close of up some of the detail so you can see what we did -

Then, here's the matching frame -

And a close up of some of that detail -

And finally my completed project with a picture of my honey and me. I'm proudly displaying this in my offce at the College. LOVE IT!

Halloween 2010

So we had a very hectic and crazy Halloween at Heidi's - first we all went down to the church for their Harvest festival. After the kids had their fill they came back to Heidi's and we had food going and tried to get kids dressed up, and all the while answering a ringing doorbell to trick or treaters. We finally got everyone in their costumes and they headed out -
here's Kamili as Belle - Makai as Cinderella - Zavian as the Alien from Toy Story (although he did not like the head gear :) - with his witchy Mama - Heidi - Paisley as our corpse bride - Prince as Luigi -Zamarah as a little witch -

Jenee as a kitty cat -

And finally yours truly as the spider queen! I brought a tan shirt, and an Indiana Jones hat and whip for Paul - and I think he put it on, but before I could take a picture it was off and he was back in his Harley Davidson t-shirt - oh well - there's always next year. It was a great night of fun and we were all very tired the next morning!
