My Class!

I finally held my New Catty Kick-off Class yesterday. I had a blast with the girls that showed up and I think they enjoyed themselves too. It is always nice to catch up with friends you haven 't seen awhile and spend extra time with those you do see on a regular basis. I had both types of friends (and family ) show up. The day didn't turn out to be nearly as hectic as I thought it would be. The boys were cooperative, and respectful all morning as I kept telling them not to make a mess of the house. Here are the projects we did. The two cards you have seen before, well if you have been following my blog you might remember them. They got to make two of each of those. We also made the cutest book mark. I got the idea from Convention. Brent Steele showed us some samples of bookmarks using the Hodge Podge Hardware pieces. My sample shows mine made with the square label holder, but the girls actually used the designer label frame. We stamped on shimmery white cs with the Owl Together Now stamp set and colored them in with blender pens. We accented them with the Flower Fusion Too felt flowers and the Baja Breeze striped grosgrain ribbon. The other quick little project we made was a Scallop mini envelope with matching note card. This gave the girls a chance to "play" with the Big Shot and one of the SU exclusive dies. We used the Urban Garden dsp and Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain. The note card was a little 2x3 Kiwi Kiss card stamped with the Easter Blooms cherry blossom stamp in versamark. I love this hobby and it is even better when I can share my love for stamping with others. Happy Monday! Hugs,
