2014 CREATIVE CONVENTION: PART 2 CHRISTMAS BAUBLE

What an awesome week I have had!!  My great-granddaughter was born on Sunday and I went to the hospital yesterday to meet her.  Here is her picture when she was about 12 hours old:

Introducing Evelyn Marie-Kay, born 9-21-2014, weighing in at 7 lbs. 9 oz.  Mommy (aka, my granddaughter) can't stop looking at her!!
I could show you the other 50 pictures, but I am sure you came here to see some more projects I did for my presentation at 2014 Creative Convention.  This group of pictures feature the Christmas Bauble Stamp Set and Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Pack.  My samples are all very quick class cards, using the designer paper on each (note:  some are stamped directly on the designer paper because I love this technique).




 

Until next time,
Sandi

CREATIVE CONVENTION -- PART 1

Well, I am finally back from a long vacation and very excited to show you all the creative projects I made for my presentation at Ronda Wade's 2014 Creative Convention, along with tons of swaps and Ronda's make and takes.  So you will probably be seeing posts from this event right up until Christmas.  I truly believe we have some of the most talented stampers in Ronda's RubberQueen group -- I hope you feel the same!!

Jumping right in, today I am showing Christmas tags and one of my 3-D projects.  (Because I have so many pictures, I kept the pictures small.  Please right-click on the picture and select "open in new window" and then click on the picture after it is loaded to see actual size.):
