I'm here in sunny (and much cooler!) Oskemos, Michigan where Ronda Wade has asked me to present at her Creative Convention. I'm both honored and humbled to be included and very EXCITED to be a part of the fun.
This conference center will host 100 Stampin' Up! demonstrators for a weekend filled with stamping (there are 24 make & takes!), demonstrations, presenters, displays and "prize patrol". It's gonna be a fun, fun day!
I will be presenting throughout the weekend but today I will be discussing my various classes. If you're curious about my class schedule you can find a complete list of my events by CLICKING HERE. And, in true "Lisa fashion", you know I've got something FUN planned during my presentation and I will share that with you AFTER the event is over. I don't want any spoilers for those that might be reading my blog and attending.
Saturday I will be presenting about my "Creativity for a Cause" events which benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities. If you're interested in learning more about this charity event and/or helping me stamp and assemble cards for our Davis Island, Tampa, House, please CLICK HERE.
And because stamping is what I'm passionate about I didn't want today to go by without sharing a project with you. This card was created during last month's Card Class where I used the stamp set "Age Awarenesss". I CASE'd this card from Debra Currier because I loved the clean, simple and masculine layout.
I used various circle punches to create a focal point for the candles. I cut 21" of Linen Thread to wrap around the card to add a little texture. I love the Linen Thread because it's appropriate for the guys on my card list.
The designer paper panel is cut 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" and mounted on piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3 3/4" x 4 1/2".
Make it a great day everyone and don't forget that when you place an online order of $50 between now and September 20th you will receive these two cards PLUS the two patterns to recreate them. My patterns are not PDF's but hard copies with directions. More details under the Rewards tab!
