Marvelous May Memories!! Buzz and Bumble ...and...Dad!!

The kids and I had a wonderful time in Phoenix...sunning and swimming and playing pickle-ball ! The temps were 10 degrees above normal and just what I needed to relax a little.

Our last party was so much fun. My daughter Abby has been promoted from my #1 assistant to my #1 business partner!! It was her idea to have a Kids Club that she teaches at the same time as our crafting parties for children of our crafting ladies. I'll take pics of their projects next time to share. She obviously sees how much fun I have with you all- and wants in on it too!!

I have a conflict the third Sat of the month in May. Several of my friends and I are staging our own math teacher intervention or education- one of our dear friends is having her first child and we are carpooling from Mt. Vernon to Spokane, WA (6 hours) to throw a baby shower and properly welcome this child into the world...math geek style!!

The weekend I have available is Memorial Day. I know it's popular to go camping...but it almost ALWAYS RAINS... I'm going to hold the party on Monday from 1-4 pm....maybe after you come home early from camping, dry off, warm up...you can join us!!

For cards this month...we've got two super-cute Father's Day choices, and two other choices that can be made for general note cards (as shown) or sentiments can be switched out for Birthday or thank you cards.

These two feature the Buzz and Bumble designer papers we will be using and the greetings can be customized to fit your needs. The top one also uses the April SOTM- My Sunshine!

I love how these Father's Day cards turned out...a combination of a little Pinterest pilfering for sentiments and Buzz and Bumble inspiration!

The sentiments were typed on my computer and can be customized for the Grandpa's "term of endearment"!!


Since 'staches are all the rage, I made up this cutie from an inspiration I spotted on Pinterest and our super swaggin' perfect Fit- Fathers Day stamp set!!


In case the photo isn't clear enough, it says, "a Father is a man with snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be." The pocket is "Fully functional" and could be filled with a gift card, photos, or both!!

For the card workshop, you get to make 6 cards for $20. Because everybody's family is different, please let me know how many of each father's day card you would like, the term of endearment you would like for each "Grandpa" card, and how many of the "you're tweet" or "hi" card you would like to create to round out your package of 6. Older kids may split the kit with you...or can add any three cards on for an additional $10.

I didn't forget about the scrappers....the $20 kits below feature two pre-cut pages (below), the remainder of a designer paper packet- Buzz and Bumble, and a designer complements kit- to embellish the second page!!


Abby will again be offering her Kids Club at the same time. Kids may come with mom and work on a variety of craft projects for a $5 supply fee. They will be making a few gifts for Dad next month.

In order to prepare, Abby and I need a commitment by May 10th. Please let me know the following in your email:
  • Yes, Korie...I would love to come!!
  • I would like to make this many of these cards...
  • I would like to bring _____________ with me!
    • They would like to....make crafts with Abby...just help me with my 6 cards...make another 3 cards (please specify how many of which designs) for $10
  • I have a friend who is also interested in attending...their contact info is....OR...they would like to make....
Thanks everyone! I've been having so much fun preparing the designs and I love to see how you all put your creative spin on each design!! Crafting together is so much more fun! :-) Oh, did I mention there will be a drawing for a prize again this time!!
