I've decided not to continue posting to this blog. It will stay active but I won't be updating it...

I just have too many blogs and not enough time to update all 3 of them. I may change my mind in future but for now I'll be posting all of my card creations on my main blog page at

Mary's Creative Zone

Thanks and sorry for the inconvienance!

If you've been following my posts on the Creative Zone and the Scrap Zone you'll know that I participated in the Celebrity Sketch Extravaganza over at Scrapbookers Club House. Ali (PR director at the SBCH) did a super job getting the most fab designers to provide sketches for us to play with. [insert applause here - with a few standing O's]

The one thing that was super was that there were sketches for both scrappers and card makers!

Here is my interpretation of the fab sketch provided by Brenda Pannick.


Now the photo isn't the greatest but - there are 2 pockets - the back one where the diagonal scallop edge and the paper clip bookmark are AND the floral band where the "wishing you sunshine" sentiment is.

I plan on slipping a couple of movie tickets in the back pocket and a gift card to Chapters in the front pocket - cute eh?? I glued the card together instead of using a sewing machine as Brenda suggested, so I added a few eyelets at the pocket edges to give it some strength.

This is a super concept for gift giving and it can be made to fit any size envelope. Plus you can do the pockets any dimension or wave or shape - try one out - the possibilities are endless!

It's been a while since I've posted a card.

My only excuse is that I've been concentrating on other things.

This card was designed specifically for my craft critique review on the fiskars fingertip knife. I really love the coral colours of this American Crafts paper. The punch of black and white ribbon really "make" the card in my opinion and quite honestly was a fluke and last minute somethin' somethin'...

hmmm...I wonder who will be the recipient of this card....let me ponder that for a while.

Sorry for being absent - family issues at the moment.

I'll be back to a "semi' normal state next week with some cards so stay tuned...

As promised here are a few pics of the girls that evening. I usually like to take shots of everyone in action - inky fingers, stamps in hand. There was so much laughter and chatter going on that I was easily distracted!



Helen proudly showing off one of her awesome cards.

My gal pal Heather from work.


Jen - we were on the Scrapalicious Design Team.
We've been scrappy pals ever since.


Carolyn, Jane and Ruby...smiling pretty.

It was a fun night and I hope to do it again real soon.

Here are a couple more cards from Helen's workshop.

I took some photos of the girls too but I'll post them later.

Again, all supplies are Stampin' Up.

I recently was a guest at a Stampin' Up workshop at Helen P.'s house. It was lots of fun and laughs and full of adventure - namely because of the massive snow storm that hit the city that day. We still got there earlyish and were taught the following cute cards.

Helen is really talented - I'm so proud of her!!

All products are Stampin' Up of course...
