A Busy and Fun Sunday!

It was DIVA Day and I was at my upline's place for a good pampering. We did a project and made some cards, had a fabulous dinner, shared business ideas, projects/cards that we've been working on and had a card swap. The time just flies by and you don't want to go home. SO we took a vote and next month we are all moving in with Sue!! LOL

Here are a couple of the cards we made. I used the alphabet letters "G" from the "Defining Alphabet" set and from the set "Define Your Life" I used the "gratitude" one. This is a nice combination of sets. There's SO many cards you can make using these two sets. I have the "Define Your Life" so I guess my next purchase will be the "Defining Alphabet" set!!! This was a VERY fun and easy card to make!!!

The next card was SO cute and clever! We used the flower punch from the new "Three for You Punch Box" to make the flower (of course) and to make the frog!!! Yes, the frog is a flower. You just punch him out of green (a bit darker than the oval punch that was used for the Lily pad) and you tuck the flower behind the Lily pad until the two side bumps come up. It's easier to understand what I mean by looking at the photo. Isn't it just the cutes???

And the final photo here is the frame we made. It's a wooden frame and we traced the wood (outside and inside) onto card stock and cut it out. Then stamped it using the new "Sanded" background stamp. What a fun stamp that is!!! Once it was stamped it was then glued in place using the "Anywhere Glue Stick" by Stampin' Up! What a fabulous invention that is!!! We used the new corners punch, added some brads to that and attached it. Added some words as you see in the photo and it was done. The edges were sanded and sponged before the accesories were put on. We all know how much I LOVE sponging!!! Isn't this just the most adorable frame? Sue is SO creative. I SO look forward to the DIVA Day. I get to visit with my fellow demonstrators too. We don't get to see each other much and it's always nice to catch up when we're together. Sue has such a wonderful group of demonstrators under her.

As with all of my photos, just click on any one of
them to view them up closer!
