Card Club for August

I have been out of town on some fun roadtrips to the

Monteray Bay Aquarium and to the river again so 

I haven't posted much lately..  

(I will post some photos in a day or so of my adventures)

I have been working on lots of projects for a couple

of design team calls and have my fingers, toes and eyes

crossed but it will be a few weeks before they post anything about it.

 I will post the things' I did in a couple of days... 

 I love what I did and only hope they do too!! And.... 

I would love to say more but don't want to jinx anything :/

So anyway.......

Card Club was really fun this month and we started to get

into the holiday mode a little with some stamps and papers

for fall and Halloween from Basic Grey and Echo Park

and bits of Doodlebug and Three Bugs.

It was a fun and relaxing class and I can't wait to dig into

the fun things from Stampendous for next month.

We are working on Christmas cards with lots of antique

glitz so it should be really fun and I will be sure and

post them to share with all of you....

Thanks for stopping by

Fun New projects

 I love this new line from 3 bugs!!  It has some really

fun prints mixed together in some great colors that 

are perfect for teenagers and other fun things like cards

and altered art.  My favorite part is the punch outs 

because you get lots of borders and flags and little fun

tags to use....  it was so fun!!

 I got this inexpensive wood frame and cut out lots of 

pieces from the flower page and the layered

design page to create the backround and pop up

some flowers at the edge.  I added a couple of stickers

at the top and at the bottom and then used

 my white pearl pen to go around the inside

center of the frame.  To finish it- I used a bit of brown

and black chalk ink around the edges and wha laaaa!

 I just used the left over scraps for these 2 cards and added

the stickers for the titles.  I am getting in the habit of using

the scraps so that I don't have lots of little pieces laying 

around and I have cards to give when I need them...

I am working on lots of new cards from my New Lily of the Valley 

stamps too but will have to post those in a couple of days...

Huntington Beach

One of my favorite places to be is at the Huntington Beach Pier

 and yesterday we went for a bonfire

and they had the US Open Surfing Championships going on.  

Sadly i missed getting photos of the surfers this time but they had lots of

other things going on and a huge concert!!  It was so fun!

 This is a photo on one of the screens between the tents

and you can see why I hung out here!!  One word...gorgeous!!

 Ruby's on the pier is one of my favorite places

to eat... The view is awesome!!

 There were soooooo many people at the concert!!

As usual all the sand covered food

was great and there were so many

people at the pits by 9.  It was really, really nice

and a little chilly but sitting by the fire is 

great and the Semore's were the best!

My little Shoebox Projects

I really like creating with My little Shoebox because

there is lots of product to work with and the pages

usually go together pretty quick and I love how it comes

out in the end.  This set has rolled flowers with it so I

made them for the layout and for the cupcake box

that I am going to teach for a class at the store.

I really love all the colors of this line and all the tags and

the flower stickers made it really easy to put the cards

and the box together in a couple of hours!!  Soooo fun......

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Hugs-Teresa
