Just a little nervous but want to share October 3, 2008

I have to confess that I’m a rather shy person until I get to know someone.  When I was asked by Janet Wakeland if I wanted to be a guest speaker at one of her group meetings, I took a moment to think it over and get over any fears that I may have with speaking in front of a crowd, and replied with a YES! 

My presentation with focus on how to add “those little special touches & wow features” to your creations and info regarding Stampin’ Up! contest entries.

Here are some deets that Janet posted on her site if you are interested in attending *wink*:

Beate’s weekend sketch challenge #60 October 3, 2008

I am extremely happy to see this day!  Crazy week and I just plan on relaxing after I do some running around town to complete some last minute stamp camp stuff for tomorrow’s World Card Making Day event.

Friday also means it is time for Beate’s wsc.  #60 that is!  With very limited time this week, I’m keepin’ it simple today and showing you a card that is fairly quick but I think has some cute little details.

I attached the Hodgepodge Hardware oval frame with ribbon and added some silver coordinating brads for balance.  I love how the ribbon is Kiwi Kiss on one side and Very Vanilla on the reverse side…now that’s coordination:)  I re-stamped the flower image again in Baja Breeze ink, cut out, and adhered to some of the flowers just to add a little dimension to the main focal point.  If you eliminate that step, this is a 10 minute card.

Check out more samples from these amazing stampers:) 

Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig, and Sharon Harnist.
