Fabric Sale was a success!!!!!!!

We have worked hard to get all the fabric ready for the sale and the notions and yarn too!  It was down to the wire but we got it done!!  It was a beautiful day and the line up at 9am was all the way up the street!!  Our shoppers were all in and stuck around for a bit more time as I am sure they have felt the need for more shopping now that there is no large fabric store though we do have several new quilting stores  (Blackfalds and Bentley)!!! The rush that usually lasts an hour went on for 2.5hours and created a bit of a long line up but no one complained and we were soon getting ready for the end of the sale and the stowing of the leftovers to be picked up by our friend, Jen!!!  We had such a good team and in the end it was our highest fabric sale ever!!  Our volunteers also got to check out and buy which helped the numbers as well.  Therese

 

Card featuring a background of squares, glitter pen embellishment and a framed flower photo with a little bow

I created this card for my sister for her recent birthday!!!  It was fun to create this background with little squares leftover from my last class.  I added a squiggly row of clear glitter using my Sakura gel pen.  I framed the 4"x 4" photo (from the calendar by sister Sylvia gave me for Christmas of her own photography) with yellow, added some paper piercing using my pattern tracing wheel and added it to my card using 3D foam tape.  I tied two short pieces of yellow ribbon to each other and added it to the corner of the photo to finish off my card!!!  

I hope her birthday went well.  I have been working 2 days a week for the fabric sale and it is challenging to stay ahead of the to do list.

Birthday card featuring collaged background, hand cut handles with "bird wing" flames, greeting

DH is having a significant birthday and so I made him a special card!!  I made a collage background with some of his favorite things and adhered it to a large card base.  I added hand trimmed candle with "bird wing" flames from golden yellow decorative paper.  I added the greeting which was stamped and embellished with paper piercing.   

It was his first party and he really enjoyed the family time!!
