Solera Papercrafters 02/13/2014

Wow have I really been away that long....I better just get my act together and sit down more often to share.  This week we had our Solera Papercrafters Group Valentine's Party.  Everyone brought a little something to share and Patty and I taught our cards and scrapbook pages.  We live in a retirement community and charge only $6.00 for a 3 card class.  If the girls want to do the scrapbooking pages, they pay an additional $3.00.  If they don't do the cards but just the scrapbook pages they pay $6.00 total.  So you see, we keep it pretty simple.  I found some great paper and die cuts from My Mind's Eye and put together this 2 page layout.

This page was created for 3 pictures to be placed in the center.  The oval tag with the heart will be placed between two of the pictures and is pop dotted.  The embellishment in the lower right is also pop dotted.

This page will hold 1 4 x 6 picture and 2 4 x 5 pictures.  The 3 embellishments here are all pop dotted.  Not bad for just $3.00.

It was my turn to do one card this week.  I found my inspiration on Pinterest.  I used all Close to My Heart paper.  A Martha Stewart punch for the black lace.  Cheery Lynn nested dies for the scalloped circle and regular circles.  Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to make the daisy. Darci embossing folder for the white lace. Close to My Heart stamp for the sentiment and a Candi embellishment for the center of the daisy.  The faux stitching on the daisy was created using Close to My Heart pen .05.  The Candi embellishment is pop dotted on the daisy and the scalloped circle is pop dotted on the card.
