I went away on a crafting weekend (see previous post) and these are some of the results of my playing (the word "working" was not allowed--we were "playing" the whole weekend!!) I have an upcoming workshop so I wanted to prepare some samples.This is one of my favorites from the weekend. I inked up my Medallion stamp for the first time!! I used sketch #231 from Split Coast Stampers for my layout.

I had the wonderful pleasure to spend the weekend in the Pocono mountains with a super talented group of ladies at what we've dubbed our annual "Artist's Retreat". We decided that name was more appropriate than our earlier name of "Beading Weekend", as it has grown into much more than just beading and we felt it truly reflected the talent represented. We knew the level of creativity and

I did a workshop showing the various uses of punches for a super group of ladies!! Besides the punches we also used the Big Shot--just loooooove that little machine!!! This first card uses the new Two Step Bird Punch. That little bird is just darling! I punched him out using the Cottage Wall designer paper series and used the Little Leaves sizzlet die since I wanted a little more green than the

In light of my new attitude in getting pro-active I'm posting my first photo!! This is a card set I made for my son's teacher as a Christmas gift. I used the Stampin' Up In Color series along with the Kind and Caring Thoughts stamp set. I was inspired by a card by Beth Ann Wilson on SCS and the set came together fairly easily! I hope the recipient enjoys it! She's a wonderful teacher and deserves

Okay--can someone please tell me where I lost 4 months?? I started this blog in August with full intentions of posting regularly. I thought I could encourge myself to focus on my "creating" and not so much my "hoarding" of supplies. Anyway......POOF!!! 4 months gone! So the kids went back to school, extra-curricular activites started again, new routines, baby demanding more attention as he gets

I hope that you are patient with me as I get started blogging. I'm walking on thin ice here as my computer experience is VERY LIMITED!! I know, I know it's the 21st century, blah, blah, blah.....
