Make sure you take the time to come to Christmas Card classes. They
Will start this month. Christmas 20 for $20 is October 23rd and
24th. Dont miss out. I will also be doing a Breast Cancer awareness
class next saturday for World card Making Day. October 3rd at 2pm.
$15 for 15 cards.

The scan of our 5th card wasnt so good, so I decided to give you
a glimpse of the card I swapped at Founders Circle.

But.....we did a great little Halloween card using the "Candy Cups".
We filled them with Candy corn and they were a great hit.

This was the "easy" card for the night. A little wheeling and
sponging.

This card is done with the stamp set "Autumn Splendor" and an ink
pad I inked up "special" with teal, mustard, chocolate, hunter and rust.

We also used a variety of "Autumn Meadows" Designer Series Paper.

A little embossing with a mixture of "white and irridescent ice"

embossing powder. My special mixture. The new "Haunted Hill"
wheel.

Done with markers to achieve all the leaves. This might have been my

favorite fall card.

Founders Circle 2009

Hi Everyone,
I am here in Utah having a lot of fun with 125 of the continents most fabulous stampers and scrapers. Lots of stamping, eating, chatting and sharing going on. I will post some things when I get home for you as I have a new camera and I am still learning. Today we did make n takes, absolutely cutey pie.... Tomorrow is Kanab day. Most are going to Kanab to tour the Stampin Up manufacturing facility. I am choosing to hang out here, get a massage, take a nap, read a book and then at 8pm it is off to the Stampin Up Founders Share and Pajama party......There will be a HUGE swap (119 Demonstrators! and Shelli). Looking forward to all of those awesome new ideas. Dont worry you will get to see them too when I get home. Well, I am bushed and its off to bed for me tonight.

On the homefront. Dave and contrators started the "Stamp Room" yesterday. Garage doors down, walls up, 3 New Doors in, Insulation in, Electrical done and Dry wall going up tomorrow. Can you believe it. Clair was upset that Dave actually told me how much was accomplished already!! I am so excited, I want to come home and watch. But.....I am sure Dave is getting tons more done with out me there. So with this said....
Good night. Love to you all. Laurie
