There's only one you!

Today's post is just a simple card I created for a card exchange I belong to.  The theme is Thinking Of You.
    It was fun playing with some of the FREE items from  the Sale-a-bration flyer... the Vine Street embossing folder #130492  and the Vintage Verses stamp set #129633.
 I have always loved the color So Saffron and I am very fond of Wisteria Wonder.  The two went well together for this card.The little soft flower is from the 2013 Spring catalog  Flower Trim  #266869  LOVE IT!  It comes as a 2 yd. piece of trim that you can clip - each flower individually or several at a time! They can even be tinted to color match!
    I  have been noticing a lot of cards with a stick pin to add bling or embellishment so I added this little angel pin. It's kind of like a gift within the card!  The pin can be removed and worn on a sweater, collar or lapel.
   There is still time to get those FREE items from the Sale-a-bration flyer!  Sale-a-bration ends on March22. Go to my website and place your order online....www.gramnancy.stampinup.net  or click my  Shop Online Button!
  

 

Good "CRAFTERNOON"!

 

Lots of fun at our "CRAFTERNOON" yesterday. I enjoyed the company of 6 very sweet ladies. These gals were all sisters and 1 sister in law. They got together from the surrounding area to just spend time together. They were completely my style of gals! They wanted to have something to do  before they checked in to the hotel, that would be fun, and not challenging, so I offered to occupy a few hours of the afternoon. None of them are as nuts over a craft project as I am ( that is saying a mouthful). But I came up with some tried and true, easy projects for them and we had a lot of fun. We created an etched vase, then decorated it by adding ribbon and a stick pin, made a post-it note holder, the card I posted yesterday,card and sour cream treat holders!  All of them left very happy with their creations.... READY to come back for more!

 The Idea is not a new one for me. My sisters (I have 7 of them) and I did the very same thing the first weekend of February this year. We've always done the get together -go shopping, out to eat , spend the weekend in a hotel etc. This year we decided to do a camp-in at my home ... spend time together hashing over old times and remembering people we miss, look at old pictures and of course laugh   giggle, and cry like no one was watching. In the process we created some fun things .... I will show those another day!  So my  Crafternoons"  are going to be a my workshops from now on! 

 

 

Post-it note holder

Simple but sweet as a chocolate bunny!

How sweet is this stamp! I've paired it up with a favorite color combo of Chocolate chip and Pink Pirouette. This cute stamp is one of the new SINGLE stamps now available... EARS TO YOU.
Perfect for that Easter greeting or a simple note card. Also added a few Jewel Basic Rhinestones.
Fun and easy so today I will be using  this design to introduce card making and Stampin'Up to a group of ladies. We are going to fill a couple hours just making a few cute spring things. I am calling this a "CRAFTERNOON".... more on that later!
