Tucson Delights

Our annual "card over" in Tucson was last weekend and oh my did I have fun visiting with my dear friends Kris, Deb and Sandy. We created cards and projects, laughed, ....and had the most wonderful meals. Here is a photo of the four of us at our set up table. We each had ample space at the dining room table not only for our work space but to load up with our tubs of papers and card making gear.

Here are some of the 93 cards I made. I go prepared and that is how I can "slam dunk" so many cards together. These aren't the same kind of cards I make for my design team projects, they are fun cards that I sell and they are easy peasy to put together. I have my cardstock folded and inside the flap I slip in a pattern paper cut, an embellishment, a sentiment and anything else I think might look ok on the card.
This little batch of cards used a package of Quickutz dies of cute cats.
Kris had a basket full of neat little sticker embellishments that she was sharing. I can really put a card together using those .... here are a few.

Kris had 3 challenges for each of us to work on if we wanted. I had a lot of fun doing these. Here is a picture of the Easel Card Calendar. The challenge card is the green paper with yellow flowers, and it was so much fun, I did about 5 more. Kris gave each of us 12 small 2012 calendars to use on this project.
More sticker embellishments....
More fun stuff....
I have tubs and tubs of embellished die cuts that I sell at scrapbook workshops. I dug into one and pulled out a package of dinosaur dies. Here are 4 cards using those. Sorry I didn't flip the dino cards....
I didn't want to put everyone on overload with the 93 cards but you can get an idea of some of my fun. Now I look forward to next January when those 3 neat gals come up to my house and we do it all over again. It's an annual thing and so so so much fun.

WOW!!! I can't imagine being able to make that many cards in a day! I think I am doing a super great job if I am able to make 10 cards in one day!!
