September Creative Images Meeting

With hardly any notice, Hobby Lobby informed Therese last month that we had no place to meet due to construction on the remodel.  For September, with more notice, they still weren’t ready, so Jeannie graciously held the meeting in her home.  Worked out well.

Our exchange theme for our missed meeting was “A Little Fruity,” and we carried it over into September.  Eight of us participated in the exchange, mostly following the theme.  Click on any picture to see it up close, then back to return.

First, Cheryl B made this yummy strawberry basket with punches, die cuts and embossing.  Could almost smell the strawberries.

Ella made this Smile card with dimensional stickers and lace.  The theme is just a guide, after all.

Jeannie made this multi-layered collage of La Paire” for her card.

This is my lemon card made with scratch and sniff technique, but the embossed lemon scent was mostly worn off.  The glass on the inside is filled with yellow Flower Soft.

Pat J cut the juicy slice of watermelon and mounted it on an embossed background.

Pam made these cute apple cores with a retired SU label punch.  Who ate those apples?

Therese was doubly prepared for last month’s fruit theme and the marble theme for Sep. (now delayed to next year). She had her bases covered with this pear card!

Cheryl M had the project for this month and we all made this cute snowman from various circle punches and embossing folders.

Cheryl M brought in this proposed project for our January stamp camp.  It’s a clear glass plate prepped with stickles and white acrylic paint on the back and then colored on the front.

Jeannie made this girly card for Therese’s birthday.  I spy a pin of beads like we made last year at stamp camp!

Here’s some pics of ladies working on their projects!

That’s it for this month.  Hope we all can get together at our regular meeting place next month.  October’s exchange theme is “In Stitches.”
