I had my LNO card parties last week and the monogram cards were a big hit.  Several people made eight coordinating cards and put them in a medium flat cellophane bag.  We then put a 6 inch by 4 inch topper one it and added a Sizzix Bigz Top Note on that.  They are absolutely adorable.  I’ll post a picture of one soon.  These 8 packs of cards will be given away as teacher gifts, Christmas and birthday gifts for friends and family.

My blog was started in July  08 and had severe technical difficulties about a month later.  I’m ready to have start #2, hopefully with more success.   I love receiving comments, so if you see something you like, please let me know.

I use almost exclusively Stampin Up stamps.  I do use some Cuttlebug embossing folders and some ribbon or accessories from random places.  I love my Stampin Up stamps so much, that I will show cards made from current or retired  stamp sets.  Most hobby demos and customers will appreciate that since they tend to hang on to their stamp sets.  I have many sets that I can’t imagine getting rid of.

Here are two of the cards you can make at my LNO coming up Thursday Oct 2 at 1pm, Oct 4 at 1pm, Oct 6 at 1pm and Oct 9 at 6:30pm.  Please let me know if you’d like to come.
