Can't get enough Zutter?? Well, I'm teaching a Zutter Class tomorrow morning at The Crop Shop in Rockland, MA 10am :) We'll make 3 little projects as an introduction to the Zutter… Here's a preview of one of the projects… All 3 use the same (beautiful) My Minds Eye patterned papers, and would make a beautiful addition to your desk, or package them up and they make a beautiful gift as well… Call the store today if you want to join us!!!
It comes out even BETTER than it originally looked in your head :) (now, sometimes it certainly DOESN'T come out the way you think… but that's OK too :) Anyway, at Late Night Croppers, we have a monthly Card Club… We make 4 cards in a class format, and we also participate in a card swap with each of the members… We have a theme, and make cards to share with everyone… This month we had 8 participants, and the theme was Birthday :) I made 2 each of THESE… They currently have yummy teas in them, but could easily be replaced with chocolate or a gift card… I found a pattern at Split Coast Stampers, but altered it (of course :) ). The patterned papers are American Crafts, and the birthday stamp is Stampin' Up. There were 2 in each color…
Here's one all put together…
Here's the belly band by itself…
Without the band…
Open to the inside (with 2 different teas)…
The other colors… this one was my favorite!!
This is the 3rd year I’ve made a book out of my Christmas Cards… One of my very favorite projects I make every year… When I pulled out the other 2, the kids (and I) LOVED to look through and see all the cards from past years… This book is a project for this month’s Zutter class at Ink About It in Westford Ma… This Thursday evening… gather up all your Christmas Cards, and come and make this book
Here’s a link to last year’s book

Well… We're on Snow Day number 2!!! UNHEARD of here :) I don't think we've had 2 snowdays total in 3 years, nevermind 2 in a row!! (BTW, I am NOT complaining!!! We've had a fun time this morning in the snow!!) Here's a few pics from this morning, now that the sun's out!!
Sean sliding down the mountain of snow near the front stairs…
Kathryn just laying in the snow… 'cause she can :)
Both of them throwing snow at me…
Finley in Doggie Heaven…
he was bounding in the snow, and digging, and bounding some more…
Literally giddy… Not sure I've ever seen a dog laugh before :) but he was honestly giddy about the snow :) maybe all that bounding will help him shed some of his fatty mcfattyness :)
Well, actually… This year's house was a train :) But it was sure fun making it :) Papers and elements are from Creative Memories Very Merry Digital kit and I used the Creative Memories Storybook Creator to make the page :)
