Oh my it's JULY!!!

My oh my .. .where has the time gone??? May came and went, June flew by and July is on the way out and I have not posted at all this month????? What is wrong with me??? Busy? Yup ... you got it - like we all are! The girls both came home in May ... and in no time Cait was back in Baltimore - two weeks are toooo short. She had a great time at home though. Hit that beach just about every day.Kerry (and Ryan) are both home from college for the summer. And Kerry is working hard on making hand sanitizers and cutting potholder pieces for me .... (actually, both girls were cutting potholder pieces) Now I have to sew them all!!!

  

Here's some cards from June .... Kerry needed a first birthday card and I had just seen Norine do a cute card with a gift card pocket attached ... changed it up a bit and here's the result ....

This was the original - used this for my June new catalog make n take ... 

 Here are the cards from June's Stamp a Stack class .....

And FINALLY ... a year later I finished the two gigantic quilts that were ordered. They were created from aloha shirts and muumuus ... talk about a memory quilt!!

Her two sons are over 6 feet tall ... and the quilts will cover them and then some.
Enjoy!

May is sure starting out busy ... hope you found all your Mother's Day gifts, if not, check out my Etsy Shop for the cutest potholders and trivets ... great for any Mom (including you!)

March's Stamp a Stack Class

We had a great time in class this weekend ... Friday night's regulars helped assess the cards as usual - SUPER time consuming! So I recruited Barb to help me on Saturday prep more parts for the larger Sunday group. It worked ... they only took about an hour extra ... give or take .... but every one loved the cards! That's the main thing.

Here's the stack of delicate doilies that we "big shotted" and prepped ... (actually, Barb did most of these)

Here's the cards:

Cute pocket card ... cased from Ann Clemmer &Stampin Dog

Here's those doilies in action ... 

this is my favorite this month ... embossing on vellum

And YAY finally a boy birthday card ... these are the cutest dinosaurs!

Take out kits are coming ... for those that are waiting ... the extra prep for class set me back a few days ...

Keep Stamping! Or Sewing!
