Happy Monday

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Our Stamp A Stack was so much fun, 47 people WOW thank you all for coming.  I took a few pictures, but I'm not sure if I can post them without their approval, so needless to say I won't, I'm a rule follower!

This week I have stamp club all week.  Stamp Club is held monthly, all you need to do is to commit to coming four months in a row and purchase a minimum of $20 in product.  What you receive in return is one month during that four months you will co-host the party.  Of course you also are coming to my house each month, making three cards and of course you receive a little "goodie" from me.  You can start up a club anytime and of course you can continue.  I have some club members who have been with me since the beginning....and I think that's about 15 years now!  WOW Carol has it been that long????

As a little "sneak peak" here are the cards we are doing this month.

As you can see we work with a variety of products, this month we are focusing on the new blendabilities, envelope punch board and photopolymer sets.

FRIDAY FLAIR

Welcome to "Friday Flair"

I would like to introduce to you, Brenda Sprenger.  Brenda is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and a very dear friend of mine.  Brenda considers herself an Artisian Design Team wanna be...but she doesn't have a blog?  I think I could help her out with that.

As a matter of fact, Brenda S. is the one who convinced me that I could actually do a blog...and then of course my sister, Brenda, introduced me to her friend and co-worker Holly who actually helped me to set it up...wow it really does take a village. 

Now about the card...

The card that Brenda is sharing with you today uses the Zentangle technique.  The definition of Zentangle is "an abstrack drawing created using repetitive patterns according to the trademarked Zentangle Method."
 

 

 

Look at a close up picture....think of how much fun doodling could be!!!!

 

 

Products used to create this beautiful card:

Cardstock:  Basic Black and Whisper White

Stamp Set:  Blended Blooms

Ink:  StazOn Ink

Accessories:  Various Embossing Folders, Project Life Journaling Pens
