Tiles




These are a couple of the decorative tiles that I put together for my summer time tile classes. They are fun to give as gifts or just keep for yourself . The next class will be July 18th and you can make either 2 of the 6x6 size or 2 of the hanging tiles for $10.00. Even beginners can make these using SU craft ink and Ultra Thick embossing powder.....if you're interested in signing up for this class just email me at Pinkroses24@netzero.net.

BFF and Stampin....Nothing Better




My long time friends Dianne (Hawaii) Carol (Rochester, Mi) Me (Clarkston) Marty (Rochester) and Debbie (Waterford, Mi) got together Friday nite to spend some time talking, drinking a little, eating some great PuPu (as Dianne calls appetizers) Stamp a little and did I mention Talk!!!




We try to get together at least once when Dianne returns to Michigan to get some stampin time....we had a great time




This is one of the projects that I put together for the girls. It uses Blooming Beautiful....I just love this set and the 3 x 3 cards. They did a great job water coloring
This card used the "Black Magic" technique. It was the "Fabulous Flower" set stamped in white craft on black cardstock. We then used the metalic pencils to color it in. Finished up with the white gel pen to make the colors pop. I really love this look. My friend and fellow SU demonstrator Ronnie McCollum showed me this technique
I'm very thankful for such wonder friends and for the good times we have had over the years !!!
Enjoy

Ribbon Holder


Those of you that know me :o) know how unorganized I can be when playing in my craft room and I would have ribbon every where on my work surface...so my DH (Darling Husband) decided I needed a place to store my growing numbe of ribbon spools. I love it so much and he did such a nice job that I've decided to put him to work and see if anyone else is interested in getting your ribbon spools under control....So for $30.00 plus shipping you too can get organized. Please email me at pinkroses4u2@gmail.com if you're interested.

Small Punch Flower


I cased this design for a flower card from a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Paula Goff...Thanks Paula...while waiting for our power to come back on from the Storms. It's hard to stamp by candle light :o) believe me I've tried
I used the small oval punch to punch out the flower petals and attached them with mini glue dots to a circle for stability then added a button as a center to finish it off. I love the versatility of our punches as they can be used for so much more than their original design.
I used Pumpkin Pie as the card base and Real Red as the accent with our designer paper as one of the layers and also the flower. Hope you enjoy Michelle

Garden Roses


Well Summer has finally arrived here in Michigan and my roses are starting to bloom. After going through the storms here on Sunday, and being without power for 2 days I decided I needed to focus on some good things, other than my stampin...so my blooming roses were chosen. Hope you enjoy.
