A Fun Saturday!

Love this place!

Classes

Last Saturday was a fun day for sure!  My sisters and their husbands as well as me and my husband all headed to some of our favorite places.  First stop, Stamped Designs in Dover, NH.  We love this place.  Jeannette has everything and more!  Our new favorite is the Memory Box dies.
Next up, was a cute vintage, antique store in Dover called "Just the Thing".  I found a huge breadboard.  I am going to find something special to do with this.  My husband wasn't as optimistic.  Chris found a "Moxie" sign for her husband for only $10!!   We all had lunch at Warren's and then onto Route 1 and headed north.  Stopped at Bo-mar's, and couple more antique shops.  I think the best find of the day was by Russ, a sculpture of Mickey on a tree trunk --so cool!   Connie and Russ have quite a Mickey collection!!  There was so many memories of stuff that we had growing up, incredible!  I saw an old scale that looked just like the one that my grandfather had in his store when we used to weigh cheese, and hamburg.  We will return another day for sure!

Fun looking!

Balloons and Cake Galore!

This is my first time making a Sliding Pop up card so I know I need to work on it a little more. But I love the outcome of it. Kim Score's tutorial really explains it well on  her "Cherry on top sliding pop up card" which is on her blog. She shows just how to make the little cake. Check out her blog at http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/2010/07/cherry-on-top-sliding-pop-up-card.html

She uses the small tag punch from SU for the base of the cake and I used nestabiities scallop rectangle for the icing  with a little glitter.  The cherry is from SU cupcake punch but I think Kim used just a small circle punch. The stand for the cake is hard to see which I think I will change next time because it is the same color as the background but it is a word window punch and tag punch. The tag punch is cut into a triangle and the word window is cut just a little to give it a little indent.
The balloon punches are Martha Stewart and the hands holding the balloons are Mickey Mouse's. 

If the link for the Cherry on top doesn't work I have Kim's blog  on my blog list below just click on Paperpunch addiction and go to the Cherry on top sliding pop up card to the right where everything is listed.  Have fun!!!
