Making cards on vacation in Alaska

Went to visit my friend, Clara Jo Minnick, in Anchorage, Alaska.  While we were there we went to a stamping store in the town of Palmer, just an hour away.  The owner, Jeanne Perkins, is a delight and has lots of fun stamps and papers for sale.  Best of all, Jeanne has lots of ideas that she is willing to share.  Aren't crafters the best.  She has classes several times each week to accommodate most everyone.  While I visited, we made two trips to Stamp Cache Alaska.  Put her contact info at end of post.  Her website: www.stampcachealaska.com 

One makes three card designs each class:
The one above has glitter added using stickles.

The pin wheel is multiple pieces of paper and a brad in center.

This one has a product the makes fruit glisten.



At the next class we made cards with buttons. Of course Clara Jo and I had to make those cards:

Teddy Bears by Sheep Ski Designs

I have been honored with the opportunity to be a guest designer for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies.  This is the design I made for the first month.  The digital image was provided by the sponsor: Sheep Ski Designs.



I made the frame from Spellbinders, with some adjustment.
The flowers were using 5114D Mini Flower Stack Die by Rubbernecker Stamps.
The background was created using two stencils (mini clouds and grass) from My Favorite Things. I colored the digi image using Prismacolor Pencils.

I hope you enjoy this one.
