A Surprise Visitor and a Quick 15 Minute Card

I was busy last night

in the studio

working on a card project ..

I was in "the zone"...

doing my thing...

kinda tuned out to everything else.

I heard voices...

and thought that it sounded like my daughter...

who had come home...maybe with a friend.

Within a second...

The studio door opened...

and in they came!

My daughter, Chelsea...

and her sweet friend Jamie.

Jamie loves the studio...

and is always interested in what I'm making...

I asked her if she wanted to make a card...

She shared with me that tomorrow is the 1 year "anniversary" of dating her boyfriend...

so she decided to create a card for him...

She hoped to make something fishing related...

(He likes to fish)

I had brand new stamp that I had just received in an order this past week...

and I knew that it would be perfect for Jamie's anniversary card for her sweetheart.

There wasn't much time though...

because Chelsea and Jamie had only stopped home for a quick minute...

on their way to another friends house...

So that meant that there really wasn't much time for Jamie's card making....

or anything elaborate

I had to think of how she (a non card maker)

could create something that would be fantastic..

in ten minutes!

I got out the stamp..

My Stampin Up Markers...

Card stock..trimmer...adhesives...

Jamie stamped the image...using the MISTI...

and because we were pressed for time...

I suggested that she "highlight/color" certain details of the image

as opposed to the entire image

I have to say...

Jamie is a natural at card making..

she handled that MISTI like a pro...

was great using the markers...

and she even stamped a sentiment on the inside.

Watching Jamie work ,with my guidance

made my little card making heart smile.

Jamie is a sweet young lady...and I always enjoy having her at our house...

Now .... whenever she comes over...

I'll be sure to have her come into the studio so that we can make cards together.

(If she'd like to)

The entire whirlwind card making  experience with Jamie was noting less that totally enjoyable..

and...

she was so pleased with herself....

and her card...

I couldn't resist...and asked if I could take a few photos...

and share them here.

Jamie was A-OK with that....

So without further ado...

Here's Jamie...

with her big beautiful smile...

feeling happy with her card...

How cute is she!!

I just love her to pieces!

Just a little bit of color here and there...

and wha-la!

Jamie had a great card for her boyfriend.

Jamie...I know that you'll be checking in here at my blog...

so I'll hope that you smile when you see yourself...

and your card...

in the spotlight!

I loved having you visit me in the studio...

I think that you're a natural at card making!

Let's do it again soon!

and....

P.S....Happy Anniversary to you and your sweetheart!
