2011 San Francisco Decorator Showcase

2011 Decorator Showcase House

As some of you might remember, Last year I was owners On site Rep for the 2010 Showcase house. wow! what an experience it was wild, fast paced fun. I loved it (except when I didn’t)

I contributed to the Silent Auction with Taking Flight Cards. Today i received a very nice letter asking if I again would like to contribute to this years event. can you say YES!!!!. I will be again making card sets for my item..

I am honored that my cards last year sold for $20 a set. There were only 3 cards to each set.. It was SHOCKING to me that they were so expensive. I can not wait to start making cards. I will of course let you all in on the process, what I use and PHOTOS!!! I look forward to donating for the 35th Annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase.

I am already starting to think. I got a new Martha Stewart Cutom stamp Set Kit I am thinking about using it on the back to identify my work & this great blog.

If you are artity & would like to donate you can reach Nancy @ Nancyfudem@aol.com

Send me you card ideas.. Hmmm Maybe some scrapbook pages to enter as well!!!

After recieving my 15 year old cousin to live with me 2 weeks ago, moving my office & combineding it in with my studio, a computer virus, Today I am starting to pack for CREATE in Chicago, Il. I have been working & re-working my lists of supplies & collecting stuff to take.. There is alot to do & I feel so far behind. I am taking several classes on things I know nothing about but am interested in learning. (I am hoping the guardianship hearing won’t pop up in the middle of my trip) I have so much to post & so much to tell….. I better get packing… Ciao for now!!!

Cards “Take Flight”

These cards were made especially for the 2010 Decorator Showcase in San Francisco. This is where I have spent the end of winter & the start of spring.

These cards and envelopes are all hand cut & assembled. They are for an auction to raise money for the University High School Scholarship Fund. This is the link to the list of items for auction.

The laundry list is as follows:

Kaiser Craft – LoireValley

Black Glaze marker

Cream Card stock (Michael’s)

I can not tell you the paper that is the ribbon, What I can say is I used my 7 Gypsies Border Punch!! From Scrapbooks Steals.

It is amazing.

So, they were then wrapped with a ribbon & sent off for auction

I made a total of 3 sets I will post more later…

Suvivor Crop 2009

Survivor Crop 2009
Please join in supporting me this year as I venture off to San Diego to participate in the 8th Annual Survivor Crop
I have pledged to raise 1000.00 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please join me in supporting this important cause. 1 in 7 women in the US will be diagnosed with some form of Breast Cancer in her lifetime.
Who gets breast cancer?
Anyone can get breast cancer. For example, did you
know…
the older a woman is, the more likely she is to get
breast cancer?
white women are more likely to get breast cancer
than women of any other racial or ethnic group?
They also have a better chance of survival, primarily
because their cancer is usually detected earlier.
African American women are more likely to die
from breast cancer than white women.
men can get breast cancer too, although it is rare.
Less than one of every 100 cases of breast cancer in
the U.S. occurs in men.
in 2006, it is estimated that men will account for
1,720 cases of breast cancer.
these are just a few facts you may not know.
So please help me by donating ….
