OT: LSS Class

WTG Sandy...how cool to get paid for doing something you love :o)

Take care, Marilyn (**Who is trying to catch up on everything that is going on in the NG)

Congratulations! I hope this turns into something you love doing with your hobby. Sounds like you do a lot of teaching not for $$ already.

Way to go Sandy!!!

Marilyn, I can't seem to catch up either and all I missed was two days! Seems that for all my trying I'm still 200 emails behind! Hopefully if there is something that aomeone wanted me to do, they will email me privately. I have been trying to get to all the LOs and cards and some such and to at least read the lead messages of every thread. But even so I'm still woefully behind!

M-C....I do read some each day but with my exercise regime and healthy eating to see to....and all the dogs....I don't get a lot of time to post replies these days....although I do think of you all and send positive thoughts for those that need them. I have lost around one and a half stones and am feeling much better for it...but I have still loads to lose yet!

I have been a bit lazy the last two days so have read a bit more than usual. It is a craft TSV on QVC so there has been many shows to watch and I have made a card from my stash....yeah!!!! I have scanned it and put it in my Made From Stash album. Thanks in advance for looking :o)

Great card Marilyn! How did you do it? Is the stain glass a sticker??? Please explain. It is so beautiful.

--Tammy

Tammy.....The card is made using an "outline" sticker, which I coloured on the front using OHP pens. Once I had coloured the outline sticker and it had dried.....I peeled it off and stuck it down on a piece of white vellum...then filled in between some of the lines using the same colours on the back of the vellum. (Hope you understand what I mean here :o) ) This gives a really soft subtle look...more vintage-like....than if you colour on the front. On the bottom of each window pane I used 3D puff paint topped off with a little iridescent (?sp) glitter glue. From the same sheet of stickers I used the bells & holly design featured on the corner of the window sticker. I treated this exactly the same and cut it out and decoupaged it using Zots to raise it up a little. I attached the completed piece to the peach coloured mat with brads...then mounted that onto some holographic card for the second mat. Then I mounted the whole thing onto a cream cardstock that has a line design on it

Take care, Marilyn

glad it turned out so well for you!

How cool Sandy! That's wonderful to be able to get paid for something you love to do. And to get a 20% discount too! Woohoo!

Beautiful cards Marilyn. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go Sandy. Isn't it cool to get paid for something you love to do, and a 20% discount too! Hope you get to teach more classes.

Thanks Cathy...glad to share :o)

Marilyn

Wow Marilyn, what an absolutely beautiful card. I've read your description of how you made it. Does sound very invloved, but the result is stupendous!

M-C

LOL....Thanks for your comments but it only took around 10 minutes for most of it. The rest of the time was taken up waiting for the glitter glue to dry.

Marilyn

Wow! That's wonderful Sandy! How exciting!! Glad all went well :) Isn't it great to be making money and doing what you love?!

Judy, SA

Marilyn, have not seen you for a while. Hope everything is going well your side and good luck on the weight loss and exercises.

Oh wow! Just checked out your card! It's gorgeous! I would not be able to give that away! Well done :)

Judy, SA

Hi Judy.......I had all sorts of problems with the PC and I am just getting back into the swing of things now.

The weather here is decidedly autumnal, so I prefer to exercise on my equipment and I just keep plodding away at the healthy eating plan. My weight gain was related primarily to giving up smoking over a year ago but is also aided a little by my age (menopause) and drop in activity levels (scrapbooking/papercrafting) :o) So I have had to resort to exercising and spending less time sitting or at the PC....LOL

Hope that everything is working out better now for you and your Mum! Take care, Marilyn

Sandy it is such a good thing to do what you love, and get paid for it too! Isn't that the description for the "perfect job"? Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
