Bitterroot Stampers- Meeting #5 May 21st

Today was Donna's day to be the hostess. 
Donna made a wonderful chicken casserole, Mexican style with a green salad.
For dessert she made a lemon cream style cake.
 All of it was delicious!
It was also Shirley's Birthday.  So we celebrated of course!


Here are the projects that we made:
Below is a small notebook that we covered with Marina Mist paper that was embossed using one of the backgrounds 1 texturz plates.
We also made these cute book marks.
We used the bigshot to cut fabric flowers and sewed them together with a button on top.
The ribbon was sewn after it was looped around a hairband. 
The hairband works like an elastic to stretch when needed.
The flower was hot glued to the ribbon. 
Rose red seam binding ribbon was tied in a bow to cover where the ribbon attaches around the hairband. 
We also made a birthday card using pennant parade (below)
I used a new In-Color from the 2012-13 catalog on this card-Gumball Green
The other colors are: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Perfect Plum.
I saw this idea on a blog page and thought it had a nice clean, crisp look to it.
The background texture was made with the bigshot and the polkadot embossing folder. 
At this meeting I showed the ladies how to use markers to color different areas of a stamp
and the importance of huffing. lol
