CKC Manchester Convention 2011

Heartfelt Creations

Saturday's CKC Convention in Manchester, New Hampshire was so much fun!  I traveled with my sisters, Chris and Connie and friend, Cathy.  Since I love doing both scrapbooking and cardmaking, it was a convention for both.  Heartfelt Creations has got to be my favorite, although, the Outlines booth is a very close second.  Both companies make gorgeous cards. My surprise of the morning was Nestabling from Spellbinders. I can't wait to try out this new bling on a card! The Eyelet Outlet is so cool!  They have almost any image that you can think of.  I bought a nurse's hat with stethoscope since I work in the medical field I have many friends that will find this on their cards.

Going from booth to booth, store to store and being amazed at the products and creativity that there is.  Can't wait to go back next year!

Mother's Day Card

To My Mom

I worked on  my Mother's card for Mother's Day last night. Don't know why but it seems I do better work when it is time to go to bed.  Just got the build a blossom punch and clear stamps from SU and I couldn't wait to make one of these flowers.  They are so beautiful.  Saw Tami White's video so I had to try it for myself.  I used a different EF called Finial Press for the flower and then punched away!  I have been making  a lot of purple cards lately and still haven't stopped.  The cardstock is again from Basic Grey's Wisteria line.  Butterflies here and there for embellishments.  Outlines rubber stamp was used for the sentiment.  Check out Tami's video http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2011/02/blossom-petal-punch/      Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
