Another Stamp of the Month Card

Just couldn't resist playing a little more with the set. Still one more coming soon!

June Stamp of the Month!

This is my take on the Close to My Heart's June Stamp of the Month, Wonderful Friend. I am not usually a shabby chic artist, but I love the pocketwatch and argyle stamps. This stamp of the month is only available through June 30th, so don't let it pass you by!

A fun Fiskateer Challenge

I am excited to share a layout I created based on a challenge set forth by Wendy Jo, a Fiskateer. She wanted us to use a quote from Alice in Wonderland, which is so much fun! I used CTMH Starstruck paper pack, Hodgepodge alphabet stamps and Fiskars punches. It's hard to believe it's been more than a year since this trip! Look for more art soon. This was TOO easy to post to!

Convention Application in the Mail!!

WHEW!! As some of you know, my application for teaching at the Close to My Heart convention was due postmarked yesterday. I worked on art all weekend, and Jim did my videotaped demo for them Sunday night. I have taught at our convention in the past, and it was such a great experience. This year, the classes will be twice as long as before, and I'll get to see more consultants than ever. I almost didn't have the nerve to do the video and almost scrapped the whole thing, but I LOVE teaching. I have such a blast with my clubs and workshops, and so now it's the suspense of waiting to hear if I'm chosen. I should've thought to post pictures of my art - but honestly, I didn't even take photos, because I wanted those things in the box and sent out! :)

I am going to post some other art later this week - I made a very blingy 40th Birthday card for my sister in law - and I like the way it turned out.

Happy Tuesday!

A day late?

Ok, so here I go... it's nearly bedtime for me, but remembered my once a week promise for the blog. Sundays are actually the best day for me to get things done, so I think I'll say as long as I blog before Monday, then I'm on time. Ha!! Not sure if anyone ever reads this even....

I'm planning an Uppercase Living project night, cute things, lots of fun... so we'll see if I can get the email out in the next day or so. Things are so busy with Thanksgiving coming up. I am doing baking for the big day - I'm in charge of desserts and rolls. Not a problem.

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekly Update

Well, here I go. I think I missed my posting last week by a few days, but I'll make up for it this week! We had a busy week, I gave blood for the first time. *gasp* but I made it through! :) I really get kind of panicky with things like that, so I have to say I think I did ok!

We had dinner with my in laws on Wednesday to see them off to Phoenix - and to celebrate my niece Allyson's 2nd birthday a few days early. It is so amazing to see how fast my nieces and nephews grow. Can't wait to get to Salt Lake and meet the niece who's due around Christmas. We're playing it by ear now, because flights that way are expensive when it snows.

Otherwise, that's about it. At the end of the week, maybe I'll post some artwork.

New Goal: Blog once a week!

Here goes nothing! I'm going to blog once a week! Tonight I had a fun Christmas Card workshop that I'm repeating tomorrow with my pal Melanis. We have different styles, which is fun because then folks get a mix of cards they may not have gotten with just one of us. I love to stamp and play, and I feel badly that I haven't shared things on the blog that I've done. It's the taking a photo and posting it thing, but I'll try. Look for more fun things soon!
