A hockey side note and a little cry

  Many of you know I'm a BIG Canucks fan and last night Pete and Nathan went to the Flames and Canucks first preseason game. He told about this video they showed to pay tribute to the hockey players that passed away this summer. Well, I found it and had a little cry this morning.

Even if you aren't a hockey fan I'm sure you can just imagine what the impact and the loss of these young men will have on their families and friends.  Like it says in the video - they were husbands and fathers, sons and brothers . . . they were teammates and friends. 

Rest in peace.

Some swaps from Edmonton

After going through my baggie of swaps I'm in awe of the awesomeness of each card.  A new technique, new colour combination or a new stamp set is shown on each card, that's why I love to swap!

Here are a few random cards from my swap stash. Unfortunately there aren't any names on these great cards.  If it is yours please let me know.

I love the Vintage feel of this card.  A style I struggle to duplicate.

by Shelia Paul  I love the colours in this fall card.

Just a great collage style card!  One I'm going to try as I just bought this stamp set.

 Here are the two make n' takes we did at the event.  I learned different ways to use the distressing kit and I LOVE the fancy envelopes. 

Cheers,

Edmonton Regionals!

This weekend I attended the Edmonton Regionals with some of my team.  We had a blast while we were there and I received a ton of great swaps!  Over the next couple of days I'll be posting some of these fantastic cards. 


Late last week I wanted to but didn't have any time to create more swap cards but my sister offered to help and assisted me in diecutting up a storm. I finished 30 more cards.  Here's what it looked like.

It's been a busy Sunday with my Stampin Up garage sale and a family BBQ so off to bed am I.

Have a great Monday!

Cardmaker's Club projects

This week we had our first meeting of my Cardmaker's Club.

I chose to do some fall themed projects with the Gently Falling Stamp set and Spice Cake Designer Series Paper.  Can you tell I love this line!?!?

Here's a fun fold card directions and inspired by Dawn Griffth

Gently Falling is a lovely two step stamping set. 

We create a technique page each month plus card front to keep for reference.

And a small mini matchbox for a place holder or treat box.

 We had a great time getting together and I look forward to our next meeting where we will tackle some Christmas!

Cheers,

Stampin Up Garage sale sneak peek

Less than a week until my Stampin UP Garage sale.  While my last rubber rummage sale went VERY well I still have many sets that I must part with.  I can't continue to have 2 boxes of stamp sets untouched and many unmounted.  I have priced all stamp sets at a MINIMUM 40% off the catalogue price and a handful of unmounted sets are priced at 60% off.  Here's a sneak peek at some of my favourite sets in the sale.

This unmounted set can be used with the clear blocks and contains many different images for various occasions.

I LOVE this set.  Look at all the fabulous sayings in this set.  These work great punched out in a circle or square and added to a card.

I {heart} this butterfly.  Works well with poppin pastels, multi coloured ink pad and cut out - many other techniques!

Great set for kids and watercolouring!  Lots of different images for many different occasions.

Love my Cheep Talk!

A few different Christmas sets left.

A great set for wedding, thank you and anniversary cards.

Even brand new unmounted sets!

 I hope you get a chance to stop by on Sunday, Sept 18th 1-4pm.   Contact me for the address, but I will not hold sets or answer questions on specific sets.  Come check it out.


Cheers,
