Friday night was my Stamper’s Club meeting.  We made three projects.may-beaded-pen One was a beaded pen to go with the Good Friend Box.  This is our on going project – every month we add something else to the box that we made the first month.

The second was a new technique – this idea came from Patty Bennett – she called it her Brayered Rose Technique.  The card design is pretty much the same as one of Patty’s samples.may-roses-cardI added a matching stamped envelope.

The third project was a card I designed on Friday a few hours before the club meeting.  Sometimes creativity pops in just at the last minute – atleast that’s what happens to me alot.  Remember the pound puppy carrier I showed a couple of May---hardware-carddays ago?  I really liked the combination of the colors – and that was what inspired this card.  And I wanted to use the designer hardware eyelet pieces from Stampin’ Up! – I have had them for quite some time and haven’t even tried them.  So this card came out of that and turned into a heavy card with all the brads that I added.

My Stamper’s Club members get to come to a class like this every month and it is free.  Occasionally we have an extra small supply fee so we can make some WOW projects.  If you would like to join the Stamper’s Club please let me know and I can give you all the information.  We have a few months left in this group  and then we’ll start again.  Everyone has the opportunity to be the hostess one month and earn free hostess stamp sets and other products from the catalog.  The Stamper’s Club page on my blog is for members of the club.

I should have turned this card in to the Late Night Stampers challenge last week – it was about circles – now that I look at it there are a lot of circles on it.  This design would work as a masculine card – just change the flowers to different circle images.  That’s the LNS challenge for this week.  I may have to make this card again as a Masculine card and use the star brad instead of the flower.  Gears are turning in my head…..I seem to always come up with ideas late at night when I should be in bed asleep.

Update on Aspen – he seems to feel better with his meds.  I have had him on the leash to walk him in the yard since he did feel good enough that he wanted to run.  Several times Magnolia got him up when she barked at something out the front window or out back.  It is going to be a long 4 weeks trying to keep him calm…

Goodnight – I’ll talk to you all tomorrow.
