Christmas in January.....

yes that what we did this past Monday night.  Every last Monday night of the month who ever wants to comes over and we work on our Christmas cards for the year so we won't be scrambling around to finish them at the last minute. 

Of course I never get mine done, why, well because I want to do something with a picture of my grand babies or something.  Last couple of years I haven't been able too, so I am one of those making cards 2 days before Christmas, hoping to get them all in the mail....

This year I did get about 60 cards made, but not all I wanted too.  So if you didn't get a Christmas card from me this year it wasn't because of the high price of postage, it was because as usual I didn't get all of the cards done that I wanted to send out.....

So..this year my goal is to make 10 Cmas cards a month (just like I make the rest of the girls do) and I will have 100 done in 10 months.  If by some mirical I get my picture ones made (no I don't mean the kind at Sams or Walmart, I have nothing against those, I even like getting them, but that's not me.) I will have some for Church cards.  So you see it's a win, win deal....I got one made while everyone else made 4 to 15, but it's a start and I have all month to get mine done. 

And the consquence if they aren't....well we don't have time to go into that one right now....

Anyway here's the one card I made.

Barbara P brought this idea to class. It is the only card I made so far.  She found it on the internet somewhere.  Not sure who did it but it sure is pretty..

Well must run now....heading to Eugene's real home,  Cades Cove....

Back Monday night..just a quick trip..

HS till later,

Wanda

where's the storm?????

We are suppose to having an icy winter storm right now, but I don't see anything happening...

but I do need to post a video on how to make the never ending card we did in class this week.

I wanted to make one of these ever since I first heard about them about 12 or 13 years ago when I really started to get in to stamping, but just never sat down and figured one out..they are really not that hart once you get the hang of it.

Remember this card?



Well I found a video on Stampin' UP! that has measurements and tells you how to do this.

It plays kind of fast but you can always rewind....I'll try to download it now.....

I'm nothing short of a computer geek, yeah right.  Now to see if this works.....

HS,

Wanda

i have lots of stuff to say but....

no pictures to post, so I don't say anything. 
However since I have a little something to show you, I am posting.......

First is a card Mom is making for one of my nieces...Her husband raises  "special" pigs and sells them, hence the pig card...Mom is going to put "happy dirtday" on it, since pigs are sometime messy and smelly.  She used the pig from the stamp set Button Buddies, and put a button on the pigs nose.

This next card is one we will be making at this months class.  It is has a maze on it, something new in the Occasional Mini catalog.. I tell you that is a dangerous book... I want about everything in it....YIKES..

I don't know whats wrong with me lately, I seem to be having stampers block or something....

Mom was over this week for a couple of days and we did make about 35 or so church cards, but that's about all I got done.

Well hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

HS for now,

Wanda
