Hope this finds you all in the pink of things (or should I say WHITE?) Was sure strange to see snowflakes falling from the sky yesterday. And I must admit I didn't like it much either. :(<div>

<div>
Well this post is to share with you all the cards we will be making<span style="font-family: Arial;">on Monday night Nov 3rd, and Tues morning
and evening, Nov 4th. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The penguin card is a spinoff of a card I did a long time ago at a cardmaking class I took somewhere down in the valley. The paper is a pearlescent white, and the snowflakes behind the penguin are glittered. This is called a double pocket card and would hold a gift card or some cash if desired. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; text-align: start;">The pinebough is a direct case (copy and share everything) of a card done by </span><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 13px; text-align: start;">Cynthia Millan, Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Isn’t it just gorgeous?</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 13px; text-align: start;">The pointsetta card is another cased card and it was designed by Katrina Watts. I just loved the layout of it and I had everything I needed to duplicate her card. So I did it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is called a box card and it is all the rage among cardmakers right now. <span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 13px;">I had so much fun putting this one together. I downloaded the template for the box from the internet and watched a video on YOU Tube to learn how to assemble the box. Its hard to see in the picture by the snowflakes </span><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 13px;">have been punch out glittered to the max. The card folds up to fit into a regular sized card envelope.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="line-height: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">and lastly, t</span></span><span style="line-height: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">he winter scene card is very simple. I used an embossing folder for
the background, masked off for the moon and sponged with blue ink. I used a
matching die for the village. Lots of sponging on this card
too.</span></span></div>

How about that. I am back posting to my blog again today. Miracles never cease do they? Well next week is another set of card making classes at Hobby Lobby and since it is the first full week of October, I thought I would run with the "fall" theme again. Here are the cards we will be making Monday Oct 6th 5:15 PM and again on Tues Oct 7th, at 9:30 AM and 5:15 Pm. To see a closer view of each card, just click on the picture and a larger view will appear. Hope you can join us. The Tuesday night class is full but there is room for you in the Monday evening or Tuesday morning classes. Just email me at kamperstampr@new.rr.com to reserve YOUR spot in on of the classes.<br />

I purchased this stamp set online on a stamp selling site through facebook. Just loved this little guy and knew right away what to do with him. </div>

I have had this stamp set since forever. Never used it but thought it was time I showed this little spook some love and got him inky. The background is a paper goody bag I picked up last year and never used. I cut it up and used it for a background. You just never know WHERE you are going to find items you can use on your cards. :*)</div>

I saw something similiar to this on Pinterest and decided to include it in this weeks cards. Although it is bright and cheerful, I thought it worked for a sympathy card anyway.</div>

Each class during October I will be offering an OPTIONAL project, a Christmas card this week. The cost is $2. Here is the card for next weeks classes. It is a tri-shutter card, and is actually much easier to make than it looks. If you wish to make this card, you must let me know by Sunday noon so I have time to cut the paper. As you can see, there are LOTS of pieces to this one.</div>

Hope this finds everyone feeling warm and snug considering tomorrow is the first day of Autumn. Been kinda chilly here. Our high today was only 66. Should be 5-10 degrees warmer this time of year. <br />
Well because tomorrow IS the first day of fall, our class card theme is Autumn Splendor. We will be making 5 fall cards and an optional Christmas card. <br />

this card looks much prettier in person. Photographing it took alot away from it. Maybe once my camera decides to work again I will take another picture of it and hopefully it will show more of the detail. Anyway that is the cards for this weeks class. There is one more I haven't photographed yet but will do so when I get some free time and post it. </div>

Again I am so sorry,(haven't we heard that line before? I guess if i explain what has been happening in my life the last few months it MIGHT explain part of the reason I haven't been faithful in posting ( and then again maybe not.) sigh<br />
The past few months have been extremely busy. Between camping, teaching classes, taking care of the garden and flower beds, and taking care of my elderly mom, I barely have time for much else lately. No promises this time to do better where the posting is concerned, I will just try to do better from here on out.<br />
I am teaching classes next week at Hobby Lobby. Class dates are Monday night Sept 8th at 5:15 PM and again on Tuesday morning Sept 9th at 9:30 and evening at 5:15 PM. The theme this class is one sheet wonder. Each person will receive a 7x7 piece of designer paper which they will cut in to several smaller pieces to create these 5 cards. You can click on each card picture to see a close up view of it. The cost for this class is $10 and each card includes an envelope.<br />

Don't know where the time goes. But taking care of my 93 yo Mom takes up alot of my time, and of course camping frequently, does too. So this blog has been entirely neglected since April. SHAME ON ME! <br />

I taught 2 classes in June so will share the pics of the cards we did today. <br />

Today will be catchup time. Life has been extremely crazy since the first of the year. Family matters seem to have taken over the better part of my life and I seem to have time for my classes and thats about it. My Moms husband (2nd) passed away a couple weeks ago so I have pretty much been there helping her and taking her places as needed, preparing meals for her, and cleaning her home. Plus taking care of hubby and my home too. Makes for a lot of running around like a chicken with my head chopped off. And I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. :(<br />
So lets get down to the nitty gritty here. Several of you have told me you miss seeing the card samples from my classes so today I will try to get them all posted up until yesterdays class. SO here we go-----------<br />
the class samples for March 4th. The theme for this class was Welcome Spring<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">This is a card I made for a stamp club I belong to. It is a small group that meets once a month. Each person creates a card, and brings enough supplies for each of us to do that card. At the end of the evening we have a nice little assortment of cards and shared techiques, ideas and chatter too. </span></div>

Life has been crazy busy lately and to be perfectly honest, I completely forgot about blogging. I will try to be more faithful about keeping the blog updated. <br />
Today I am sharing card samples from the next classes. I called the class "how'd she do that?" because the techniques used may be new to you. <br />
Here are the pictures of the cards we will be creating AND the techniques I used to create them.<br />

It is Sunday the 5th of January already. I have been busy getting a new set of cards ready for you for the cardmaking class at Hobby Lobby Tue Jan 7th at 9:30 AM or 5:15 Pm and again on Thur Jan 9th at 5:15 Pm. These cards were inspired by cards I found on either Pinterest or Splitcoaststampers and outside of a few minor changes they have pretty much been cased. <br />
The theme this class is all occasion cards and I chose to offer 2 thank you cards, 2 birthdays cards and a sympathy card. Here they are-------------<br />

now this one is my design. I found some fun embossed pearlescent pink paper at Hobby Lobby and just wanted to use a touch of it (cause it was $2 a sheet) So this is what I came up with. On the inside is a nice birthday verse. </div>

and last is this daisy birthday card. Definetly one I copied, I really love daisies and so chose to duplicate the card. The centers of the daisies have fun flock on this so they are soft and fuzzy.<br />
Well thats it for this week. Will be back late next week with 5 cards for the gentlemen. That seems to be the most difficult of cards to do.

Sooooooooooo since last weekend was my crafting weekend with my 2 grand daughters I thought I would share pictures of how we spent our 2 days together. We had so much fun and I think the pictures show it. So here we go------------<br />
On Saturday morning we all got dressed and ate a hearty breakfast before heading to the mall to attend Jacobs holiday concert. He plays the violin with a group of orchestra students at his school. Here are pictures of the kids after the concert. Pretty good looking bunch aren't they?<br />

Then we headed back to my house to get some serious crafting done. The first thing on the list to "to dos" was to frost and decorate the cut out cookies I had made earlier in the week.

I want to thank you for following my blog these last few weeks. I hope you enjoyed the pictures and ideas I shared. Next year I will do 4 weeks of Christmas instead of 7 and will definely not have it run into the week of Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday season everyone. Merry CHRISTmas to you all. I hope Santa is good to you and brings you everything you wished for. I know I will get everything I wished for cause my wishlist consisted of all of my kids, thier spouses, and grand kids being here with us on Christmas eve. It is always the highlight of my Christmas.

Watch for pictures next week of what we did. But today I wanted to share a few pictures of the cards I made to send out to my stamping friends. I must admit these are all totally cased (copy and share everything) from stampers on the net but they were so lovely I just had to duplicate them. <br />

I showed you yesterday what my 13 yo grandson and I made. Now here is what my 9 yo grand daughter did over that crafty weekend. First I want to share a picture of her after she finished decorating a purchased gingerbread house kit. I think she did a pretty good job. How about you?<br />

We did crafty things for Christmas (pictures of that tomorrow) and my 13 yo grandson and I made this to munch on during the Packer game.

not sure where I found this recipe but it MIGHT have been posted on Facebook. Here is the recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHITE CHOCOLATE SNACK MIX</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 pound block of white chocolate chopped into small pieces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups rice chex</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups corn chex</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups Cheerios</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups thin pretzels </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups peanuts </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 oz package M and Ms </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melt white chocolate. I used a double boiler but you can do it in the microwave. Just watch it very closely as it does burn easily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a large bowl, mix all the other ingredients together. Slowly pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and toss gently so it is evenly coated with the chocolate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spread mixture onto waxed paper and let cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When cooled, break into small pieces, and store in an airtight container. Refrigerate to keep fresh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thats it for today. See you all tomorrow for another holiday post.</div>

Hopefully now I will keep up with the daily postings. Today I am sharing a couple more items that I had on display at my holiday open house in November of 2010. Hope they give you some ideas of things to do for YOUR holiday gifting.<br />
The first picture is an assortment of holiday gift bags/boxes I made. I used the Sizzix Bigs Fancy Favor box die. SO easy to create fun boxes/bags with it. IT cuts and scores all at the same time. And there is NO limit as to what you can use for cardstock, could be plain white, colored, embossed, or even designer paper. With these, I used just plain white cardstock and just did each one differently using different techniques.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aren't they sweet. and big enough for small gifts such as candy treats, a gift card, jewelry.</div>

Now this has always been one of my favorite projects. And oh so each to create. First I started with an inexpensive wine glass. Using a piece of vellum and this pattern-------<a href="http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/glassshade.htm">http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/glassshade.htm</a><br />
I created the lampshade. I used a scalloped scissors (could use any border punch instead) and a tiny round hole punch to create bottom border. Using a blue marker, I colored the back of the vellum with blue ink, but first I masked off a circular area for the moon. Then ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE VELLUM, I stamped the tree line from SU using Versamark. I used white embossing powder over the versamark. Then I removed the mask, and using a dauber the yellow ink (a marker would work just as well), I colored the moon. <br />
I used sticky strip to hold the vellum together at the back of the shade. Now just set it on top of the wine glass, add a battery operated votive candle and watch it glow. I also tied a little ribbon bow around the stem of the glass and added some die cut snowflakes.<br />
Well thats it for today my friends. Hope you are enjoying my trip down memory lane as I share items I have made for the holidays with you.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first picture is a pretty little box I made, sectioned off so there were 4 compartments. Inside each compartment were git tags I created using Stampin Up stamps. Made a nice little gift for a friend.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this is a mug I made from the Sizzix pillow box die. I filled it with cocoa, hersheys kisses, mini marshmallows and a candy cane. Another sweet gift for a teacher, hairdresser, or anyone you wish to give a "little something" to.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is another fun little item to make for a little gift. I punched out 6 white circles, and 6 scalloped navy blue circles. Stamp them with snowflakes and mounted the white circles to the navy ones. I created a snowman face on 2 of the white circles. Then I sandwiched a York peppermint patty between the 2 face pieces, and did the same with the other circles. Then I just placed them in a narrow cellophane bag so that it looked like a snowman. Tied it off at the top with a little piece of ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I hope you enjoyed my shares for today. Tomorrow I will be showing more 3 items I made for the 2010 open house. And that should catch me up with the postings to day. See you tomorrow. :)</div>

Well I will try to catch up over the next couple days. It has been very hectic as I am sure you can all relate to. This time of year is just crazy. WHY oh why do we pile so much on ourselves at holiday time?<br />
Anyway I will include 3 days posts today. <br />
The first picture I am sharing is of a card buffet I offered in my home in 2010. We did 5 cards that night. The stocking is actually a gift card holder. <br />

for the 2nd share of this post, I am showing a picture of a free make and take I offered in a holiday open house in Nov of 2010. Everyone was treated to homemade cookies and hot cocoa. I had tons on samples out for them to view as you will see in the next picture. It was a fun day for all of us. <br />

Where DID this month go? Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Me? nope I have a long way to go yet. But I have 3 1/2 weeks to get it done along with the cleaning, baking and decorating. I will get it all finished in time, I always do. :)<br />
Today I am sharing a picture of a project we will be making this coming Tuesday at my Hobby Lobby cardmaking class. It will be the last one for 2013. This box contains snowman soup. A packet of hot cocoa mix, a bag of marshmallows, some snowman kisses(hershey kisses) and a peppermint stirring stick. I found this idea on Splitcoast Stampers website and pretty much cased it. Isn't it cute? and what child (or adult for that matter) wouldn't love to receive this cute little gift? All the goodies are contained in a plastic card box which I purchased from Gina K Designs. <br />

These were fun to make. It is always nice to present a gift card in something pretty and fun. AND they can be reused next year. <br />
The first one uses retired designer paper from a Stampin Up. It folds like a tri-fold wallet. and the gift card pops up when opened. Click on the pictures for a close up.<br />

Today I am sharing a picture of Mr Frosty. He was our outdoor decoration for a few years. As you can see, he WAS huge. But alot of fun. He got lots of looks as people drove by. Anchoring him down so the wind would not move him was quite the trick. As you can see in the window behind him, that was when I had the store yet. OMG alot of years ago. <br />

Today I am sharing a picture of our Christmas tree 2005. What made this one a special memory for me was the rocking chair you see in the lower right of the picture. I purchased it unfinished and painted it for my then 2 year old grand daughter. I had so much fun painting and decorating this chair for her. I added her name using a stencil and stamped roses across the 2 white boards on the back of the chair. White polkadots covered the seat. Do you think I got it bright enough? LOL What a labor of love it was. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I want to share a picture of a popcorn box I created a few years back. It was an item I offered in my store at holiday time. This box was quite tall (about 11 1/2 inches) so it left alot of room for stamping. Here is what I came up with. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jack puts it up every year and then puts on the lights. This year he decided we needed more lights, or off we went to Menards for 2 more sets. I DO like it better with the extra lights though.<br />
After he gets the lights on, I take over and place the spiraling ribbons, and ornaments. Then the big bow at the top. After thats finished he spends a couple days rearranging and adding more ornaments. <br />
Well here are the pictures. I love this tree, especially at night. It glows the most beautiful shade of blue. People slow down as they are driving by to look at it. Kewl!<br />
Here's the tree master setting up the tree------- Notice Buddy is supervising. LOL<br />

You don't have to spend a lot to give a beautiful gift. The candle holder was something I picked up at a rummage sale, and i just added a pretty ribbon and bow, and stamped a tag. <br />
See you tomorrow with more projects from that holiday stamp camp. Have a great Monday.<br />
