Rose's Buds

Only 3 more days until I participate in the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life. With the help of Bev and Terry we were able to add a special touch to our teams tshirts. We used iron on transfers which we first printed the team name and then stamped a rose from the Roses in Winter stamp set in craft ink. I really like the way they turned out.

If you would like to make a donation to our team please visit www.cancer.ca I would also like to thank everyone who have contributed to the Rose's Buds team. You have made a difference in the battle against cancer.

More Birthday cards

I also received cards from Stacey and Trudi. What wonderful cards. I love handmade cards. Thanks everyone.

I'm 30!

I turned 30 yesterday and I had a fantastic day with my friends and family. I always look forward to seeing what wonderful card creations I receive. I think the best part is to see what Shad comes up with. This year he did really well. He actually was asking if I had received my new set called Zoofari(which is available in the new catalogue) because he wanted to include the monkey as I had mentioned it a few times. It arrived on Friday afternoon. Just in time for his card making.

As I was at Bev's we had to call ask Shad a few computer questions and then the challenge was on between him and Bev.Who would come up with the best card. I just had to giggle. Anyway I have to say I love both my cards equally as each one is special. Bev's card features two techniques polished stone and faux metal.

Thanks for the wonderful work.

Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life

I volunteered at the Relay for Life in the Western Communitees on June 1 and it was an inspiring evening. I volunteered in the kids zone where I helped kids make cards which I prepared so they got to colour and assemble. It was great to see how thoughtful the kids are. They were doing such a great job. I can't wait to do it again on the 15th.I will be participating and volunteering for the event on the 15th. I also wanted to thank Kristine and Bev who came out and helped me with the event on the 1st. I was able to take a few pictures of the event which I wanted to share with you. If you haven't had the chance to be part of such a great cause I encourage you to participate or volunteer a few hours of your time. It is something I think everyone should experience. Over the last several weeks I have met some amazing people at the cancer society and what a great organization to work with.

If you would like more information about the event or the Canadian Cancer Society I would love to talk to you.

My creations for my swap on Monday

This first card features one of the techniques I will be featuring at my next techniques class. The baby wipe technique.
The second card features onboard accents. It is a great way to at dimension to a card.

Swaps

Here are a few of the wonderful swaps I received on Monday I must give credit to Alicia and Melanie for these great cards. Both are perfect for a male cards. I am always looking for new ideas for those.

Sneak Peak

I was lucky enough to receive a stamp set at regionals that will be in the next catalogue. Bev also received a set on cruise which she let us use on Monday night.

The first card was designed by Bev and the second was Alicia's design. Both featuring the new sets.

We don't have long to wait now for the new catalogue. I will have a few more samples next week featuring a few of the sets that will be in the new catalogue and were featured in the Fall Preview which some of you saw on Saturday.

Another Success

A big thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday and made it a success. It was another $100.00 for the Rose's Buds team. The luminaries they decorated are beautiful and I can't wait to see them displayed at the relay. I will take lots of pictures to share with you.
