Since I was last on my blog, I have moved to Michigan and am living in Grand Haven with my daughter. We have rented a very nice 2 bedroom apartment about a mile from Lake Michigan. I am still stamping and making cards. This past year I made about 900 cards for the military, 150 for the senior citizens that my little friend Isaac has adopted, and 400 for the front line covid 19 workers. I love making cards and doing other paper craft projects as well. Below you will see my current cards that I have designed for my August in the mail card class. Since we are unable to have people in our home because of Covid I am offering my classes through the mail anywhere in the US for $35 and that includes shipping. I do 6 different cards, with envelopes, and provide all supplies needed to make them along with written instructions to put them together.

These are the cards for my August, "Introduction to Fall" class. If interested in doing the class please email me and I will give you instructions for ordering. Happy Stamping.

All of these cards are made with products from Stampin' Up.

It has been awhile since I have posted and a lot has gone on in my life. I have gone through many changes and have come out victorious. I owe everything to my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. I don't know where I would be today if it were not for Him.

I have made some changes in my card making as well. I still use some Stampin' Up products but I am also using from other companies as well. I love Heartfelt Creations paper and am using a lot of it.  You will see some real changes in my card designs and I hope you will like them.

I am offering all my cards for sale and you may email me about prices and payment. I also have kits for sale as well, these include cards and other products made with paper. Below you can see some of my recent cards.

March Card Class

We had a wonderful time in our classes this month. I always do the second Saturday of every month and then the same class on the next Tuesday for those who can't make the week-end. If you live in the San Diego area and would like to join us just email me at june.switzer@yahoo.com. We would love to have you join us.

It has been a beautiful week again in Southern California. I don't know how I would do if I had to live in the snow again. I miss it at Christmas but the rest of the winter I can do without it.

Here are the cards we did this month. If you would like to know how you can get them just email me and I will give you the details.

We had such fun and the cards came out so beautiful. It was my first time doing a scenic card but I had a great time playing with the ink and sponges.and was pleased with the outcome. Hope you enjoy my creations and will think about joining us in class.

Until next time...................
Hugs,
June

My favorite project.

Beautiful day again in Southern California. 85 degrees and sunshine. Just made the finishing touches on a project that I did last week and would like to share with you and one I did earlier. I am having so much fun making these that I have decided to offer them as a class or for sale. You can email me if you are interested in either option.

Here is the first one I made last November.

It is so much better in person but you can at least see that it is an advent calendar box to put a little gift in each individual box for the 25 days of Christmas. I so love doing these. Takes a while but they are so worth it.

Here is the one I just finished.

'

This one is my favorite It is so beautiful in person. I think I need to take some more pics that leave out the background. I am just learning to use this great Canon camera and I sure need more experience.

Any way the box and the paper are not Stampin' Up but I did use our Tombo glue, our Stampin glue sticks and our newest adhesive the fine tip glue pen. It worked beautiful putting the little boxes together. The stampin glue stick works best on the paper.

I will try to put better pics in tomorrow.

So for now "Happy Stamping" until next time.

Hugs,

June

Early Happy Valentines Day

It is such a beautiful day in Santee today. 75 degrees and sunny. Nice day to sit on the deck and craft. I am getting ready for the February card class on the 13th. If you would like to join us please let me know.

I have decided to share some cards with you and if you would like a packet to make the cards or if you would like to buy some already made just email me at june.switzer@yahoo.com and I will tell you how you can get them.

This was our January card class. We do 6 cards and envelopes for $20 or a $50 order. We have such a great time.

Until next time, happy crafting.

Hugs,

June

Hi everyone,

I guess it is time to get back on my blog. It has been a long, hard year but things are finally looking better. My husband had a stroke January 28, 2015. It was pretty bad and a long recovery. 25 days in the hospital and 30 days at a rehab center to learn to walk again. He is able to walk with a walker, however he needs much assistance in daily living. Just glad last year is over and I am looking forward to a much better 2016.

I will have some cards for you to copy or buy tomorrow. I have had my classes since last May and have many cards to take pictures of and share with you.

I hope everyone is having a great winter and looking forward to spring I am sure. It will be early this year so that is a plus.

Thanks for visiting and I will see you soon.

Hugs,
June

Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. 

This is December in Southern California, isn't it beautiful. I like it much better than snow. I am finally getting some time to blog.
 This has been a very busy year because of my husbands health problems. Thank God he is finally on the way to getting better and we finally know what the problem was. He was very anemic and has had to have 3 iron infusions. He is finally getting strength back in his legs and feeling more like moving around some.
I am looking forward to another year of classes and putting some beautiful greeting cards on here for you to enjoy and copy if you like. So be sure to check back from time to time to see the new posts.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends.
See you next year.

Until the next stamping time,
June

Vacation

So sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been thoughly enjoying a vacation in Michigan with my children and grandchildren. We have had a fantastic 2 1/2 weeks so far and kind of dread leaving on Sunday. We will really miss the family when we go home.We have been attending church with our son and daughters and grandchildren. It has been so rewarding.

We have visited several places that we used to go to alot. Houghton Lake, Alma, St. Louis, Greenville and Frankenmuth and several apple orchards.
We spent the day yesterday in Frankenmuth with our daughter Laurie. Ate a magnificent chicken dinner at the Bavarian Inn and spent several hours at Bronners the Christmas store. Oh my goodness. What beautiful ornaments and other decorations for fall and Christmas. I am bringing some home with me. There is no other Christmas store in America that compares to Bronners.

We are planning a Thanksgiving and Christmas (combined) dinner on Saturday with all the family here. It will be so much fun and enjoyment for us. We miss spending the holidays with them. Bitter sweet moments.

We will be back in San Diego on Sunday around noon. It will be so good to see my friends and card class members again. I have missed them all this month and will be happy to get back to our normal schedule.

See you all soon,
Love and Hugs,
June

Layered Labels

Finally I am almost at the last card for June. Just one more left to put on. I just don't believe I got so far behind. I guess I will have to put them on before class from now on to keep up to date.

I really appreciate all my card class members and their faithfulness every month. It makes it such a joy to prepare for.



 

 

This is the inside of the card. Because I cut the image out of the card front, stamped it on white and put it behind the card front I felt I needed to stamp something inside. It worked out great.

Loving Thoughts

I am a quilter so I guess that is why I love this card. It reminds me of a quilt that I once made. It is amazing what can be done with Stampin' Ups punches and they make card making so easy.

 

I am still in therapy and doing better is some ways but the pain in my shoulder and arm is still very much there. Guess it will be back to the doctor and see what's next after next week. I really wish they could determine the cause of all this pain. Please pray that something will be found out soon. I just want to feel good again.

Mixed Bunch

This is the second card we did in June. I just love this stamp set and the paper. I also really like the fact there is a punch for the flower. I am getting real partial to punches that match our stamps. It makes my work so much easier and looks so much better than if I cut it free hand.

 

Rich Razzleberry is also a favorite color of mine. You will see lots of it this year no doubt.
