June Card Buffet

Today is the June Card Buffet.  If you are interested in July's buffet let me know.  I will post the dates later. It is fun to use some of the older stamps that I still have.  Every once in a while it is fun to look through things, find old friends, and use them or pass them along to others who might use them now.

Some things were cut out but others were from the thin cuts/stamp sets.  I have the new Fancy tags Z4305.  I can see these used on the cards but also cutting photos and using them in scrapbook pages.  I love the Shimmer Brushes because they are so versatile and unlike some of the bling that "bumps" up, it doesn't cost extra to send them through the mail. 

January Card Buffet

I am having some card buffets.  Thursday January 14 from 6 - 8pm and Saturday January 30 either Am or Pm.  The following are some of the new cards.  The stamp sets have multiple sayings so that you can do them for a variety of occasions.  These are for Spring and Valentine's day.

January is also Papercrafting Month.  There is an exclusive Picture My Life™ Live Your Day scrapbooking program—available for one month only! This collection was designed to coordinate perfectly with the sensational Everyday Life™ 2016 Planner Pages and My Crush® Everyday Life Pages.  You can use them for a variety of things.  The Planner has page protectors that you can use them with easily as you are journaling or planning as well as adhering them to the pages in the planner.  There is still time to get things organized for the year.  

2016 is just around the corner!

January 1 there is a new Seasonal Expressions catalog available.  This holds the next 4 months seasonal stamps and papers.  The Annual Inspirations catalog is available until the end of August 2016.  In the Annual Inspirations there are Workshop on the Go's.  This is the Worship on the Go for Kaleidoscope is the 3 designs of cards  that you see.

  You make 5 of each for 15 cards.  You get the paper, the directions, the cards and envelopes, the stamp and special "extras" for the project.  It is a really great way to get new ideas.

In the Seasonal Expressions, they are calling it Worships Your Way.  You can make 3 - 2 page 12 x 12 layouts and 9 cards - 3 of 3 different designs.  You can download the online guide from my Online Business Address barbarapagekell.ctmh.com after January 1.  This is an exciting new way to get things done easily, simply and have ideas that you can use in the future.

I am setting up dates for the Card Buffet for January.  I have some of the new designs here.  Since February is Valentine's day, these are the Valentine's cards.  Many of the sets have alternative greetings so that you can make a variety of cards from the same pattern if you don't want to do the Valentine's cards.  Please call or email your choice of dates you can attend.

The Stamp of the month for January is Beloved Bouquet.  This card uses this stamp.  The stamp also has "Thinking of you" and "You mean so much to me".

Get ready for stamping and scrapping for the new year!

November's card buffet

I am starting to put together some Thanksgiving cards and other cards to have added to the Christmas cards in the next month's Card Buffett.  Each month I will add some and take some away.  I have a few more cards planned for this grouping but will add them later.
