Jeannie’s Workshop

My dear Miss Jeannie had a workshop for me on Saturday to close out the Occasions Mini and we had a great time, even though I was running on empty after getting home late Friday from a mini-vacation.  We still had a great time and made a couple of beautiful cards.

First, here’s a picture of an Easter card I made a couple of to give to Jeannie.  She really loved them.  I CASE’d the idea and layout from BWstamper here on Splitcoaststampers.   She used the dogwood branch from the Easter Blossom set and I used the wild rose branch from Elements of Style.  The tulip border embossing folder turned out great.

 

Our first make and take was the bisque pottery technique I learned from a video on Diana Gibbs’ blog here.  Di did hers with Crumb Cake, but I like the Baja Breeze, too.  I used the Engraved Greetings birthday sentiment and the Very Vanilla rosettes which are now, alas, sold out.  Di’s tutorial was perfect to learn this cool technique using a brayer, an embossing folder (I used Vintage Wallpaper), an ink pad and the Big Shot.

Our second make and take I also CASE’d off of Diana’s blog.  She’s one of my favorites.  Can you tell?  She went to the SU Leadership Conference in January and a friend of hers received a prize that included a card made by our illustrious leader, Shelli.  Di put a picture on her January 18, 2011, post here.  I puzzled it out and managed to make a reasonable facsimile.  Must have been successful as the ladies all loved it.

Here’s a couple pics of the ladies having a good time before we started and of Therese with a finished make and take.

I’m almost done processing and naming all the pics I took on our mini-vacation last week to Georgia and the Panhandle.  Lots of houses (mansions, really), roses and lighthouses, oh my!  Will be blogging those later. 

Thanks for stopping by. Comments always welcome.
