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:

What a great way to spend some of your vacation time, Anne. I lived in Anchorage the better part of 2 years, give or take 50 years ago - long before my crafting and card making time. :-D I love the cards you made; each one is a delight in itself but I admit I really love the one with the ladybug buttons and the first one with the seashells! Magnificent.

Wow! These are all wonderful cards you've made here Anne! Each and every card has something special to offer!! Love the the papers and colors you've used on each one! It certainly sounds like a wonderful trip and how cool that you were able to stop into a craft store there and have fun with crafters!! :) Thanks for sharing these!!
