Rue Des Fleurs Step

Just thought I'd share a center step card using the beautiful attic boutique dsp and rue des fleurs stamp set.  I felt so calm when making this card...something about the soothing nature of the colours.  Of course I couldn't resist adding a vintage brad and some pool party seam binding to dress the card up. 
We'll be learning how to make the center step card at my technique class tonight along with a couple of other fun things.  Let me know NOW if you would like to drop in tonight at my home: 7:00.  I"ll have the paper all ready for you!
Cost: free with $30 purchase.

Must Make Swaps!

Okay, Leadership is now one week away and still no swaps!!!!  I think I"m going to do this card.  It uses the new Rue Des Fleurs stamp set from the occasions mini.  I thought the paper daisies sponged with soft suede ink added to the vintage feel of the card.

I woke up this morning and all was quiet in the house and I ran downstairs to the craft cave and started cutting.  I knew I didn't have much time before the kids awoke...20 minutes at the most.  I figured if I started preparing the paper, I could stick them on when I had time later.  I managed to get most of the pieces for 15 cards cut before a little munchkin showed up asking me to help him find his stuffed Pablo Penguin. 

If any of you out there want to come and visit with me anytime this week, PLEASE come for a visit...as long as you don't mind that I"ll put you to work assembling my swaps.  ;-P
