Spring Fling Swap

Time to get some swaps going, and with all of us thinking spring, why not put our thoughts to creating something that represents spring to us. I will leave it up to you as to how you want to express yourselves...tag, ATC, 4x4, flowers, umbrellas, colors, whatever takes your fancy! Make 3, get 3, due to Maura by March 22 so we can celebrate spring!

Contact Maura at onecraftystamper@gmail.com with any questions.

Project:  More Fun with Dyan Reaveley's

 Dylusions Sprays, Stamps and Stencels  

            If you already have a journal you want to use that's ok, but it should be able to take a lot of water, paint and different type of medium. I use Dyan Reaveley's Art Journal by Dylussions. I like this journal best because it takes all kinds of abuse. It can be purchased online through Amazon, Ranger or most online scrapbooking stores that sell Ranger products.
 

note:  we will be using this (a) journal for many of the projects in the future also for our Art Nights.

You can see samples of Dyans work on the Ranger website or go to Pinterest and search Dyan Reaveley

A Heart-full Gathering

Delicious Linzer cookies by Janice

We enjoyed a delightful evening hosted by Mary and Janice - thank you ladies!!! On a cold winter evening, the gathering was a warm and bright place to be. We started with a light repast of mini bbq pork sandwiches, hot drinks, and moved into several delicious desserts...along with the ones pictured, Mary made a traditional flan, which we enjoyed.

Yummy cupcakes!

We had fun chatting and crafting as you can see. Mary came up with a fun altered matchbox project and Janice put together a pop-up card, all Valentine themed.

Happy, smiling faces....

Fran is sharing her projects...

Janice sharing hers....

Inside of Maura's box...
