 My kids had Teachers Convention last week so I took a couple of days away from the office and now I am in catch up mode. I will be posting more samples and videos starting tomorrow.

I thought the kids were kept busy on their days off school. We went to the mall, saw a movie, went out to eat and more. But when I saw the following picture on my camera I realized that the kids may have had more free time than I realized.

This is Sophie, our 2 year old mini Schnauzer.

She is a my stamping buddy when I am working and she loves grapefruit.

Let’s celebrate the start of the weekend with some easy but bright shaker cards.  

At my Shake, Rattle & Roll class this week, we made four types of movements cards. One of the card types we made were shaker cards.

Today, I want to share a couple of shaker samples I made for  the class.

Warning: You made need your sunglasses! These are some bright cards! 

This card uses the Best Wishes & More stamp set, $31.95, item #111602, page 55 for the stamped flower image and uses the Pink Flamingo designer series paper to add lots of colour.  The cardstock is Summer Sun, Real Red, Cameo Coral  and Tempting Turquoise. I toned it down a bit with white ribbon and brads.

This next card is a super, super simple shaker. The stamped bird is from Cheep Talk, $31.95, Item #113204, page 90 and the colours I used are Only Orange, Brilliant Blue and Green Gable.

For both cards, I used beads as the "shaker".
