Hello friends! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and looking forward to a great weekend coming up! We are having a heat advisory for the next several days over my way, so I thought it would be a great idea to stay indoors and craft! I also thought this would be a great time to catch up with some posts sharing some things that I’ve worked on the first part of this year that I hadn’t gotten a chance to share with you.
- LONG POST – pull up your chair with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
I thought I’d share the Taylored Expressions Virtual Stamp Joy that I did back in March. I actually spent the weekend attending the classes and creating as I followed along. I managed to get all of the projects done the day after the event was over, but failed to post all of what I had made due to the fact that I was busy helping two different people move…and then life just got really busy after that as well! LOL
*I also have added an additional event from Taylored Expressions this last weekend called “Summer School” which concentrated on foiling techniques. Although I’ve done foiling before, I sure enjoyed seeing new products and learning a few new techniques too! (These four cards are at the end of the gallery photos below)*
- If you’re on my website, just click on the images below to enlarge the photos and view any details underneath each one. ENJOY!
I always love to learn new things with stamping/crafting along with all of the fun new products that come out too! I know I REALLY don’t need to purchase more things, but when cool stuff comes out, it’s really hard to pass it by! I think doing these classes and joining in on different challenges help me to use these fun things up!
So I hope you’ve enjoyed my post sharing all of the things that I’ve been doing! I will have another post sharing more things that I haven’t shared yet too! In the meantime, I’ve also been working on a scrapbook which has been fun and something that I haven’t done in a really long time! A baby can do that to you! LOL
Thanks so much for stopping in today my friends! I’ll be seeing you soon! Have a great weekend!😊

Wow, you certainly made a whole LOT of lovely cards. That light up sun is such a fun idea. And so is the spinning bee. That stenciling on the perforated paper reminds me of one of those needlepoint projects that used to be so popular. I like variety and all the color. I hope your weather cools off a little bit and you have a super weekend. hugs-Erika

Wow Vicki, I’m just blown away with all of these beautiful creations! I’m also impressed with the way you utilize your time to continue creating such amazing items. I’m hard pressed to choose a favorite among everything, but I LOVE the calendar and the light-up card! I’m really ashamed that I don’t spend more time creating these days, but I’m enjoying watching you keep going! Great job on everything and I hope you’re enjoying the days of warmer weather too. Miss you hugs!
