Totally Awesome Workshop!

On Saturday we held our March Workshop and it was Totally Awesome!  One of the cards we made today was one that I posted on Friday.  If you missed it, you can see it HERE. 

So I  though you all might like to see how the cards came together.  After looking at them and taking pictures, I realized I never really gave any specific instruction what to do with the Linen Thread.  They could see the sample, of course, but here is what they came up with.

Brittney even changed up the whole card by placing her die cut on the bottom and moving the flowers to the right.  She also tied the Linen Thread across the top and attached little flowers to the ends. 

I'm not sure I see thread on Linda's but it looks great with the flower on the bottom corner.

Sue placed her thread under all the flowers by randomly stringing it along.

Mary tied across the bottom with a bow and a little flower.

Kristi's thread doesn't seem visible here, but it may be underneath.

Tina put her's across the bottom without a bow and added a bigger blue flower.

All in all, I think they all look great!  When we all started stamping together, there wasn't a lot of variety, but now, I love they are all finding their own style!

Kathy and Patti were still working on their's so I didn't get any pictures.   I'm sorry ladies!

Thank you for looking in today - have a Blessed Sunday! ~ Donna

My Baby Is Turning 30!

Tomorrow my baby will be 30 years old.  Yes, he's still my baby and always will be as the youngest child.  

I'm really happy how this turned out.  We all know how difficult masculine cards can be, but this was so easy and I think he will like it.

I decided to make two others while I was at it left the "age" space open for the next one I need. 

Recipe:
Base - Night of Navy - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
English Garden DSP 5 1/4" x 3" 
Corrugated Paper (138317) yes, this is Stampin' Up! page 148 in the Annual Catalog
  3 1/2" x 2"
Expressions Natural Elements (138395)
Stamps:  Number of Years (140653) bundled with Large Numbers Framelits Dies (140811)

I hand trimmed the "Look Who's Turning" sentiment, but you could easily do it with the Circles Framelits.  See my previous post HERE for full details. 

Thank you for looking in today!  Have a great Wednesday ~ Donna
