Hello Everyone!
Boy oh boy I have been creating like crazy! I have over 10 classes scheduled over the next month or so. I am trying to do different cards for each class!
Yikes! Here are the ones we will be doing at Collective Journey on October 15th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. If you want to come and cant make it, we will probably open a duplicate session! Hope to see you there.
Check out all of the CUTE designer paper that I found at CJ. The colors and images match the images perfect! Most of the new paper is by My Minds Eye... Never heard of it before... but you can bet I will be looking for it in the future... It is wonderful and high quality two sided dec. paper. LOVE IT.

Turtle Spinner Card - Lexi's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI


August first is Tom's niece's 12th birthday. Lexi is a sweetie and loves soccer & sports of all sorts. I couldn't resist the idea of these two cute turtles playing water soccer! I hope she likes her card.

I added a bit of crystal effects to the shells and some gel pen to the turtles eyes to help his eyes pop a bit. The spinner is on pennies and some dimensional tape that I puched out with a hole punch for nice round rollers. I have not done a spinner card in YEARS.

The soccer ball rolls back & forth! How fun! Stamps are of course Our Craft Lounge and the soccer balls is from an old Stampin Up set that I kept because it is timeless.

Happy Birthday Lexi..... looking forward to our shopping day together for your birthday. See you Wednesday!
