Chocolate Egg Pedestal - Total Case!

You know sometimes you see something and you think, "OMG that is adorable! I have to make one." Okay, this is one of those times. I don't know why I felt the need to make a chocolate egg pedestal, but when I saw Kim Score's design (definitely one of my favorite designers), I had to case it. It is just so stinkin' cute!

Okay, I'll admit my photo does not do it justice. I really need to learn to take better photos, but you should see Kim's. Here is the link to her site to get the directions.

I need to work on the pedestal part more -- somehow I just didn't pick up on how to get it straight, but I still love it!

First Card Buffet Class

We made it through the first Buffet Class. It was so much fun although a little long. Okay, so I need to exchange a couple of the cards to make simpler cards, but we also had fun chatting and getting to know one another. I promised to make the cards easier so that we can get through them faster. Here are the cards that were available this class:

The above card was designed by my dear friend, the talented Elizabeth Hurst.

More fun projects coming soon.

Stampin' Buffet!

I'll bet you all thought I disappeared. You know how it is when life gets in the way. I have soooo many cards to share and sooooo many projects to share....but catch up is really hard to do.

I haven't seen the stands for them yet...we'll get them when we do the actual swap from the hostess. I'm planning on keeping one calendar at my desk at work, and the other to display at my classes and workshops. I showed May in my last entry. Here is March. What do you think?

Stamp Set: Happy St. Patrick's (from the new Occasions Mini)
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Lucky Limeade, Blushing Bride
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, In Color DSP-Lucky Limeade, Blushing Bride, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Brushed Gold, Whisper White

More Sneak Peeks - New Projects

Not much to say other than I'm having a blast with the new products!!! A mini Mannequin brooch holder, an eye pillow filled with flax seed and lavender, a 6 x 6 calendar page for a calendar swap I am involved with and a card using the adorable maze from the new mini.

I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm thinking about making the Mannequin and eyepillow kits available for purchase, as well as completed one's. Let me know what you think or if you would have any interest in either a kit or one already made.
