Rustic Rooster

I have been wanting this Stampin Up" Rustic Rooster Hostess set since it was released! It just arrived on my door step yesterday and I couldn't wait to stamp it out! Only thing is, when I went to my stamp room to do just that, my tables were a complete mess! I had made a journal for a swap I was in,, and I had stuff everywhere! That being the case, I decided to use what was laying out and made these two cards mostly out of scrap! These aren't the "visions" I had planned on making, but I have been seeing a lot of what they are calling "clean" cards on blogs lately (meaning, not a ton of layering), so thought that was a good way to get some of the mess cleaned off my tables! The second card I stamped the rooster on a scrap piece of water color paper, giving him an entirely different look! The DS paper I used I had bought for the journal, its from K & Company...I love it...has a very vintage look! As for the journal, I will post it in a few days, I don't want to ruin the surprise for the "new owner"!

My card is made using a favorite of mine from Unity called Rain and Flowers!

A Few March Worskshop Give Aways!

These were just a few of the give-aways I had for my March workshops...just love~love that Matchbox die, I can't quit playing with it! I used my SU punches on the box top, one is filled with 4 Hershey nuggets, the other is Cadbury chocolate eggs, I thought thye looked like bird eggs. I placed little pieces of "acetate" that I have been saving from packaging to make the "see thru" on the box top! I also used my SU Bigz Butterfly die to cut butterflys, and bagged up some ribbon..sorry this is so fast and boring...but I got up at 2am, its 10:20 pm and I can hardly keeo my eyes open, let alone type!

March Workshop Projects

I had my last workshop for the month yesterday. These are some of the projects we made. The Tiangle Tri-fold card was made using directions found on SCS...it was very easy and enjoyed by all! The tree with the tire swing is like several I have seen on other blogs, , but I think I found this one on Inking Idaho, she had some beautiful cards done using this set,this set has been so fun to work with...the tree is perfect for all seasons! The little flower pot I found on Stamping With Dawn...this was a favorite of all. We made several other projects, but I forgot to take the photos!!!
