Workshop samples

Can you believe it's been about 5 or 6 years since I have done an actual workshop? They are definately few and far between out here. But I am grateful nonetheless. I did my first one in years this past weekend. I was super nervous, but it really was a good time, and I am thankful for the ladies that came. I hope you all enjoy your stuff!!

Here are just a few of the samples I did for her workshop...


The card was really fun. When it was finished, it looked so boring, so I added a couple of rhinestone brads. Holy Cow, that made a huge difference. I did, also, stamp a couple extra cherries and cut them out to add with a pop-dot to add dimension. I was really pleased with this one.





The Ghirardelli box was an idea I found on Splitcoaststampers.com. You can click here for the directions. Supposedly, a person can fit four little Ghirardelli quares just perfectly inside. I couldn't find any and was really disappointed because I SO wanted to show that. Oh well.



The scrapbook layout was one I thought of myself. It, too, is very plain. If anyone has any ideas on how to jazz it up a bit, I'd gladly hear your ideas. It's hard to see, but I traced around each lighter green piece with the black journaler. That did help. I do just love this pages and have been wanting to get this afternoon scrapbooked.
I really wanted to get these posted yesterday since I had all kinds of time, but I was really getting frustrated with my new camera. I think I need to take a class of some kind, because I just couldn't get it to take photos the way I wanted (I guess it is only as smart as the person using it. LOL) I think I took about 10 pictures of each before I just gave up and went outside for the natural sunlight. I SO want to learn how to take awesome pictures, but I just don't understand most of the features on my camera. Maybe that can be something I can do this summer. LOL ;>
TTFN,
