High Tea


I went to a high tea tonight, hosted my a life long friend, Lori U.  What a magnificent event she treated us to.  This was her 6th party.  6 parties over the course of about 25 years.  I have been to all of them.  Lori is one of those friends that know how to make everyone comfortable, she has a gift for hospitality.  I can't count how many time she has made me have fun!!

this shot is so blurry, but here she is welcoming us:

The decoration  theme was Shoes, and she had at least a hundred of them all spray painted Aqua, tied with ribbons and lit with a candle!   There were many faces I knew spanning the 25 years.  And then Some new ones:

These were my dinner partners, Jan, Bev (Bev I have know for at least 20 years and don't ever get to spend enough time with her) Kyla and Gail.    These gals were just the best dinner partners, we had so much fun during the night!!
After a wonderful 4 course meal we listen to a dynamic message by
Author Ruth Harvey
Ruth is a Minister and author residing in CT with Her Pastoring husband and daughters.

after all was eaten, said and done. our table favor had this beautiful message:

Cause me to know they way, Wherein I should walk.  Teach me to do thy will for thou
art my God. Psalm 143:8+10

Thank you Lori!

Thanks for stopping by,
Ginny M

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
