HAPPY FEB 1st!
Only 90 days 'til we have the possibility of decent weather.
Not that I'm counting! GEEZ!
Here's a few more CHA photos that turned out...
This was my first project for tim, using his new papers...
It's kind of hard to see...
but the ticket border is layered @ different levels...FUN!
LOVE the memo pin...
LOVE his buttons...
I may be a little prejudice, but...
LOVE LOVE LOVE my new stamps too...
BEWARE...this next photo is SHOCKING...
It's a project that I did for Ranger and it does NOT have a flower...
I had a cool idea & chopped off a bit of the swivel clasp to make a fish hook...pretty cool huh?
Good idea for a guy card...
The bubbles are glossy accents...
perfect for dimension & a little shine...
and you know I LOVE the snaps...
(they're discontinued...boohoo) but...
I found that they still have them for sale here...
Here's a better peek @ the fish.
He's stamped on grungepaper, distress inked & then he was painted with Rock Candy Crackle paint...
The base is Picket fence crackle paint...
inked with lots of alcohol ink colors...on top...
I covered the bottom with Perfect Medium...
I just pressed the pad on the base & then sprinkled on walnut distress embossing powder...
I wanted it to look like sand...
I use the Perfect Medium for watermarks and for embossing too.
It's really sticky & holds the embossing powder really well...just my preference. I really like it...A LOT...
Another project for tim's idea-ology booth...
his new paper...
and the flower is his new Sizzix die cuts...
OMG..I'll be getting every bloody one and the embossing folders too...I CAN'T WAIT!
Again...more new studio 490 stamps...
OMG...I need a MILLION of those buttons...
ok...2 million...I can't run out!
I LOVE his new charms too, because that all have a flat back...
which makes it soooooo easy to glue in place...
but on this one, I attached the heart with a memo pin & some jump rings...
The corners were the perfect finish detail for the canvas...
OK...the word is out...some stores have my new stamps!!! YIPPEE!
These stores are taking pre=orders here...and here...
They were both @ CHA & placed orders the first day...
so they'll be first on the shipping list...
I'm expecting the book to arrive here in about 2 weeks...fingers crossed! I'll let you know...
I had several requests again while I was gone to buy the new distress inks...
I don't sell them...I only sell my books...
but...pre=orders are being taken here & here...
I'm expecting they'll have them in about 2 weeks or less...
get the reinkers too...
I'm just sayin'...you'll be using them...LOTS!
I spent yesterday making orders for class supplies...
all new classes are being designed...
and I'm hoping to have them ready in about 10 days...
Just as soon as I have my convention schedule from Ted & Michelle, I'll be working on the rest of the teaching schedule...
For sure I'll be @ Carson, Ca in March & a Columbus Ohio convention later in March too.
YIPPEE!!
That's all I can remember in the near future...oh...wait...
Scrapbook Friendz' in Bloomington Illinois on February 27th...
