TriShutter Card

Everything's ALL upside down! Yikes! Who gave me control over this, anyway! You'll have to just try and make heads or tails outta this mess. Sorry, girls!!!




First, let me say that I'm not very familiar with putting 'stuff' on here. So if anything is out of order...or pictures a little 'funky'..it's because I'm not usually the photographer. (You girls will be more apt to remember your cameras from here on out. Karen was our hostess and let us use her great big table that's downstairs. Jan was our instructor, today, for our TriShutter Card Workshop. Jan did a fantastic job (of course!)



Here's a photo of the girl's working. Jan on the left, then Karen, then Pinky hiding behind Mary. Check out all of Karen's neat decor!


The second picture is what the TriShutter Card looks like after you have made your first folds and cuts.



The lavender card, with the lovely butterfly, is the beginnings of Pinky's Card. It's gonna be beautiful! The Teal and Lavender 'Leaf" Card is Jan's example (and of course..since it has leaves...I love it!) The rusty southwestern looking card is Karen's Card. It really turned out neat. For some reason this would only let me put up 5 photos, so I will add some more in a minute.

Iris Folding

These are the two examples of Iris Folding that April made using regular decorative paper. The plain white one is just cardstock, with decorative papers folded and attached to inside of card. The colored example is ink stamped with a little bit of blue ribbon attached. The center design is just regular decorative scrapbooking paper with a cute little butterfly added to center of Iris Folding. Fun project!

Squash Book

Here are some pics of one of the Squash Books that was made. It was such a fun project. I want to be sure to give credit where credit is due, though. These pictures of artwork are from: http://www.herondance.org Go give them a look see to see the most beautiful artwork and lovely prose. These are out of order...so please start at the bottom. This is a picture of the Squash Book cover. #2, from bottom, is the book partially open, #3 mostly open, #4 all the way open, and then the top picture is a close up of the inside. So much fun to make...and very easy once you know the secret.

Our Squash Book Project

Today was so fun! Here is a photo of the group today. Left to right...Karen, Jan, April, Mary, Pinky, with our guest and instructor, Nita, in the front. Hoping one of the other girls will add photos of some of the finished squash books. They were really fun to make. Thanks, Nita!
