August has arrived!
As always the summer is going by way too fast! I'm honestly finding it hard to believe that August is here. I was able to have all the class samples completed and newsletter out for the weekend, and time was left to enjoy a few days at the lake! It was HOT and lovely. I read a whole book and did not craft once. I did spend time thinking about crafting though!
SMASH folios and accessories will be here by the end of the week! The company was overwhelmed with the consumer's response to their products! I love mine.
I impressed myself this month with the Tim's Technique Class. I am not a rubber stamper, so it was a challenge for me to create these cards. I loved making them and using the various techniques.
I haven't created Iris Folding cards for some time. I have never used a design printed paper as the background before. I used Webster's Pages for the background of the dress. I just loved the way it turned out. I also enjoyed making the guitar. I used music paper and love the look of the guitar.
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked how these cards were made, I'd be rich! I did this class a few years ago when Burnished Velvet (Velvet Tape) was first introduced at my store. So, if you have never had the chance to learn this technique, now is the time!!
Last month after Rhonda's "bugging and bugging", I created a Graphic 45 Beach Album. The class was a huge success! So, this month I asked Rhonda to create a Graphic 45 album, using the Wizard of Oz paper. She did just that and it is fabulous!
Scrap-a-page is very different this month. Eight pictures were cut in pie shapes to create a circle. I saw this in a magazine and thought that it was such a great idea, so I scraplifted it! The paper is by My Mind's Eye. As I was creating the page, Kevin was close by. I was talking to Carole, telling her what I great trip this had been in 1988. We traveled with our trailer to Calgary and saw the Olympic Grounds, the Zoo, and all the other sites. We traveled to Banff and the boys saw the mountains for the first time. We saw the glaciers, the Hot Springs and more. Such great memories. Kevin was listening to my recap of the holiday and said, "Know what I remember about that trip?" I said, "The mountains?" He replied, "No, we were somewhere and the drink machine was broken and we kept getting free canned drinks!" Really, Kevin, that's it! He did remember a souvenir that he bought from a store in Banff. I wanted the boys to buy those cute birch bark canoes with BANFF printed on the side. They bought Whoopie cushions instead! Thank goodness we have all these pictures that I am scrapbooking of our 1988 trip. Hopefully, they will jog Kevin's memory!
