An Experiment

Hi ya folks! Long time no see again. I have had an iPad for sometime now and was just wondering what it would be like to post from it. I am impressed so far. Let's see what happens when I add a picture. Hmmmm seems to be giving some problems with adding photos so off I go to the google machine to find out how to add photos while posting from an iPad.

Yeah! It worked I have to use photos from my flicker account and use HTML to download the photos to the blog. This so rocks! The photo is of an easel card I made with the cutest summer magnolia stamp. I love that stamp.

A Sweet Diaper Cake

Hey everybody I just wanted to share a sweet little goodie I made for my God Daughters Baby Shower this weekend. I made this nifty little Diaper cake with my Silhouette Digital Die cutting machine. She will be so excited she wanted one so bad. I just love that cute puppy!

Enjoy and Happy Crafting !!!

The absentie blogger strikes again

Well as usual here it is several months later and I am posting. I so miss the days when I had enough time to post daily. I have created a new LO for the Local Scrapbook Store I am employed at. It is made from the "So Sophie" collection from My Minds Eye. I love the texture of this paper it draws me in every time. The photo was taken on my Cell phone so sorry about the poor quality. These are photos of my Daughter two years ago on prom night. All the girls were so beautiful that evening.

A Friendly Word Of Warning

I have been teaching the Copic Class in the Spring / Woodlands, TX area now for sometime and it has recently come to my attention that some individual or individuals may be trying to use my class curriculum for their own classes. I do not know this for sure or that this is even true nor will I lower myself to naming anyone, but I will let you know now that this is MY MATERIAL and as such I have a copyright to it and I have this posted on the side bar of my blog. The thing that is most frustrating to me about this is that it is all my hard work and effort that may be being used by someone who put no work into it at all. It is immoral,unethical and extremely unprofessional to use someone else's work!!! The only thing I have to add to this is when you take one of my classes the handouts I give you are for your personal use only and are not to to be used to teach others with or used for any other public Dissemination. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Hugs and Happy Crafting !!!

A Blog Face Lift

Hello and long time no see I have been MIA for many months due to my teaching and work commitments and I am so glad to be able to drop a line or two I have decided to change up my blog a little. I have been bitten by the Twilight bug and I am in love with the whole thing. I had a good friend of mine do the title bar picture of my blog for me and yes those are my eyes! I just wish that was my real eye color they are actually blue green IRL. The past few months has kept me very busy with some amazing things. The first is that I have a wonderful group of Copic Students who I love coloring with very much they have been my heart and soul and supported me through this whole program to all of them thank you so much. The next item is that I will be starting my own rubber stamping company I am very fortunate to have some talented artists in the family who have agreed to help me on my way. Lastly I will no longer be teaching my Copic class at Lonestar Scrapbook company. I have decided to do private classes and I will have more information on this as times progresses. Well I hope you are having a great week.

Hugs XXX and Happy Crafting !!!

"It's Official, I am Copic Certified!"

I have so neglected my blog I sure do miss it. I have the most exciting news though, I finally got to take the Copic Marker Certification and it was fantastic. We were taught by Sally Lynn McDonald and she is AMAZING!!! Her Blog is called Inky Heart if you get a chance go by and take a look at her Beautiful blog. We also spent two fabulous days in San Antonio, TX on the gorgeous River Walk.

I have have been so busy at my new job and teaching at the local scrapbook store I feel terrible about not blogging but I hope to change that soon. I will teaching Copic classes at The Lonestar Scrapbook Company in Houston,TX starting in January 2010.

Happy Holidays & Hugs to you all

There's A New App In Town

I don't know how many of you out there have an iphone but I do and I love it. So yesterday, just out of curiosity, I thought I would see if there really "was an app for that" as the commercial says and low and behold there it was "Coolibah" an amazing little digi scrap app for iPhone. You must go by and see their blog and demo. I have been very happy with it and sat for 2 hours today in the doctors office waiting for my husband and created a few pages while I waited. This was so worth the 4.99 + .99 per kit for the digi kits. I am so excited to tell you all about it, but really go and see it for yourself you won't be disappointed. Another really nice thing about this app was I was able to email and text my creations to friends and family when I was done and I was even able to print it out too. I really do love this app.

Inspired by Websters Pages 12 Days of Christmas

Gosh! it has been a while since I have been in my blog. I feel so guilty about neglecting it. I have been very busy with a new project and job, there just does not seem to be enough time in the day to get things done. I am pleased to announce I will be going to San Antonio, TX in December to get my Copic certification and I also I have been working for a LSS and teaching altered projects. I have been visiting the Websters Pages web site for some recent inspiration and ran across their 12 Days of Christmas projects and I decided to play along. There was the most amazing shadow box created on the day one challenge so I decided to try out a regular box that recently found a tutorial for and I love how the Websters Pages worked out on the box. Thanks for the great inspiration and here is my creation.
















Materials

Chipboard, Websters Pages "Winters Wings" Collection, assorted flowers, Gold German Scrap Butterfly, May Arts Ribbon, Liquid Pearls, Martha Stewart Punch and Distress Ink.

The image is "Edward Surfing" from Magnolia's Lazy Summer Days Collection. The Image is water colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and the embellishments are Candy Dots from Pebbles INC.

Secret Crafter Challenge #50 / One For The Girls

I found another blog this evening and I have the perfect little ATC I created a few weeks ago but have yet to get to post it. The Challenge this week at The Secret Crafter is "One For The Girls". So now you see why she is so perfect for this challenge. The image I used is an Elisabeth Bell from SCACD, the image is water color painted with distress inks on an ATC sized illustration board. The sentiment is from Fiskars and she has been over sprayed with perfect pearls and water to give the card a glow.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!
