Beth D's Bead Class

I know, this isn't a WillowGrove card but it is so pretty I thought I would post it anyway. I made this card in Beth D's bead class at Lasting Impressions last week. It was easier to make than I thought and renewed my love for beads. I haven't worked with beads in almost two years so I was very excited to use them again. Beth taught a wonderful class and she explained things so clearly that everyone was able to create a gorgeous card.
A lot of people think working with beads is fussy and they won't have the patience. I suggest giving it a try before passing judgement because you just might surprise yourself.

I am looking forward to more bead classes at Lasting Impressions in the fall. I'm going to dig out my old beads and see what other creations I can come up with. FUN!

Butterfly Card

To create the Butterfly card I used one of my favourite techniques
using Alcohol ink and a transparency.
I used the same technique for April's Stamp Club. Call Lasting Impressions 519 332 8846 for details.

Don't forget to use scrapbook embellishments to dress up your cards.

Altered Dream Box

This is my Altered Dream Box featuring my Grandpa Sam.
My Grandpa and Grandma owned a fish store in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.
During WWII they supplied Selfridge Airforce Base with fish.

I stamped WillowGrove Swirls with Staz On ink on the glass door.

I will be teaching a class at Lasting Impressions on Altered Dream Boxes in the fall. There will be different shapes of Dream Boxes (by Art Chix Studio) to choose from. I will be posting the different Dream Boxes as I create them. If you are interested in taking the class, please phone the store (519) 332 8846, leave your name and number and we will phone you when we have a date. In the meantime, save any pictures, beads, charms, odds and ends that fit your theme. You will also be receiving beads and charms to use in the class.

I used my Grandpa's old fishing lure and a receipt from Samson Fish as embellishments.

Hoppy Easter

This is an adorable little Easter card for a friend who is expecting.
I designed the Expecting Bunny stamp for a friend last year.
For a soft look, use a hint of chalks and a touch of Stickles.

Design a Flower Stamp Set

Hi everyone,

This is the flower stamp set that Beth used for her card.
As you can see there are endless possibilities to design flowers unique to your card.
