Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

It's been almost another whole week and nothing new from my little corner of StampinHeaven.  I tell you, that little corner has been lonely lately.   I sat at a ball tournament all weekend and into the wee hours of the morning on Sunday.  After six games on Saturday the girls got 2nd place in the Championship Game.  It was a long long day and I had no motivation on Sunday to do much. I did eventually find my way into the room though.  I needed to make a card for an upcoming gathering I'm doing on Sunday for a friend.  I prefer to call it a mini-workshop though, as no one really likes to go to parties much anymore.   When I design a card for a gathering such as this, I try to   think of my audience.  Are they seasoned crafters, new to the stamping world or just dabblers here and there.  I wanted to design something that wasn't too labor intensive and scare off potential crafters but yet detailed enough to inspire even a seasoned crafter...

Ah!  I've neglected my blog for over a week!  That is so unlike me!  I went to our annual retreat at Petticoat Junction last weekend so you would think I'd be sharing tons of creations!  I did get some things done but I was working ahead preparing for upcoming club projects and Stamp of the Month Artwork.  So, those things I will share a bit later.  I like to use the retreat time - especially the one in the Spring to get ahead because starting this week, my evenings will be filled with softball games for the next 2 months!  We had our first home game last night and it was pretty darn windy and cold!   I do have a card to share that I made a few weeks ago.   I have been using our new textiles lately trying out different techniques.  I couldn't wait to try a ruffle with the new Hollyhock Lace Zipper.  I used the lace zipper to hide my stitching for the ruffle.    Recipe: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Card Stamp: ...
