Open Sea Reflections

Hi there and happy Friday!  Are you ready for the holiday weekend?  Mine will be rather quiet but busy working on projects.  Speaking of projects, the one above was a make-n-take for my Hostess Club members.  There are several ways to achieve the look of a "reflection".  Using wax paper is one way that is super easy.  I learned how to do this technique as an on-line member of Linda Heller's Stamping School.  The supplies used are listed below.

Need to get to the grocery store before starting on projects and before the stores get crowded.  Seems we're out of the basics - like milk, eggs, bread.....  Hope you have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.  Thank you for stopping by today!

Traveler

Hi there!  Here it is another Friday.  Seems like we just did that!  How time flies when we're having fun.  Speaking of fun, today's card is another sample from our Card Buffet.  The Traveler set by Stampin' Up! was used for the train and valise images.  Love this set!  Four of the five In Color inks were used, giving the card more of a vintage look.  It's a little difficult to see the vertical strip under the postage stamps that was embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.  The train image was stamped, cut out with a Circle Framelit, and adhered to the World Map background.  Some of the ladies at our Buffet did a little moaning (all in fun, of course) because the valise required fussy cutting.

Must sign off now to finish getting ready for two days of fun with my stampin' peeps.  Have a great weekend and thank you so much for stopping by for a look today!

Joy to the World

Hi there!  Been in bed the last two days with some sort of crud, but now I'm back!  And we have snow!  We're supposed to get more later today according to the forecast.  Tomorrow is our Christmas party that Sally Nusbaum is organizing again this year.  Can't wait to see everyone!  The weather will keep some from attending - like Pam D'Urso.  It's been so long since we've seen her and that makes me sad that she won't be able to join us.
So in the holiday spirit, let's move on to the above card that was on our Card Buffet last month.  This was an easy card and seemed to be popular at the Buffet since there weren't any kits left.
