We had thirteen ladies at last night’s meeting and the treasury didn’t make any money since everyone had their exchange cards. The theme this month was “Lady in Red.” We also had a swap of ten sympathy/thinking of you cards that six ladies participated in and got to take home their four left over cards. Lona did a great Spirelli technique for her project.
First up, the exchange cards. Once again, some are side by side, some not and no rhyme or reason to how or why. Oh, well. These first two are Pam’s dress made with SU’s red glitter paper, a row of pearls and a flower. I’d wear that! Connie made the Scrappy Chick. Inside it is full of little images of scrappers’ stuff.
This card has black and white designer paper (I think) for the background of Dani’s lady in a red hat. The lady in the cloche hat is Ella’s. Hats were popular! The gold flower and gold cord set it off nicely.
Herman made this Boticelli-looking lady, surrounding her with a lovely border and brads.
Holly made this womanly card in black and white. She popped out the lips and the moody sentiment in red.
Janice made this pretty little formal. Love the red glitter on the bodice and the red ribbon belt. Jeannie made the vellum and mulberry card with one of her ATC’s for the focal point.
Here’s my Gibson Girl, done with masking and stamping off.
Lona made this vintage stamp. A different look from Herman’s, with the same face. The card with Dorothy, Toto and the ruby slippers was done my Melanie. She put red glitter on the shoes!
Therese made this fashionable lady. On the outside it says, “Fashion is something you buy.” Inside it says, “Style is something you own.” Theresa made the darling little girl in her red dress.
These first three swap cards are by Connie, Janice and me.
These three are by Theresa, Pam and Lona.
Lona did July’s project. Here are her four Spirelli samples. I’ve seen Spirelli cards, but this is the first time I got to make one.
Here are three finished projects by me, Janice and Melanie. Great project, Lona!
That’s it for now. Next up, I’ll be scheduling a workshop for the new SU catalog. Thanks for stopping by. Comments always welcome.
