besides CHRISTMAS is ...
CHA!
and believe me...
we're in full CHA mode here...
there's LOTS going on...
it's all still TOP SECRET stuff, but here's a few tidbits I can share...
I have ALL my new studio 490 stamps here & they have all been inked & tested...
I may be prejudice...
but I'm thrilled with them...
OMG!
we'll have a few flowers, a few new backgrounds & some images just might have an interesting twist...
we'll have more stamps that coordinate & work well with the current sets giving us more possibilities...
I have stepped "out of MY box" for some these images...
I can't wait to share them...
I think you'll be surprised...
I leave for CHA on January 24, so you can expect to see them...
MID JANUARY...ish
and...
I'm TOTALLY over the top excited with this second release of art parts...
and now that I've used them & made some art...
yep...
they are exactly what I envisioned...
I'm sooo happy...
again...
some of these have a different twist too...
and LOTS of potential for fun...
I'm very anxious to see what others will create with them...
here's a little art parts peek...
hey...it's the best I can do...
it's still DECEMBER!
so...some things I'm working on ...
more projects for book #4...
instructions/photos for the book projects...
and a re-do of the tips & hints section...
my CHA class project photos & instructions...
the sample is done...
I like it...
getting supplies requested for the CHA class...
a REALLY top secret assignment...
it's pretty exciting...
my Ranger designer challenge art...
several artists are given the same supplies & we are asked to use a product line to...
make art...
these are all on display in the Ranger booth @ CHA...
it's very cool to see how each person uses the same supplies...
I WILL take photos for you...
it's a promise...
and then there's...
art parts packaging...
deciding what pieces go together to make "sets"
and the art that is needed for each package...
CHA samples...
CHA samples & MORE...
CHA samples...
so this may explain why I won't be doing daily blog posts...
or doing that other C word...
cooking...
but I'll pop in as often as I can...
I hope your holidays were fun...
and now you can relax a bit & take some time to...
make art...
wendy

ReplyDeleteIt all sounds VERY exciting!!!! Even a little "twisted"... LOL So how do they cut art parts??... I've been wondering that since I opened the first package and had to wipe the soot off the edges and it smelled like it had been in a fire.
ReplyDeleteWe have to wait how long?? Come on make it our Christmas gift, give us a clearer shot. Love seeing the different looks different artists come up with using the same supplies. Can't wait.

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteJust catching up with your blog and wanted to let you know I love the little cash envelope you made from a tag - adorable! Have fun at CHA and looking forward to seeing you in the store in 2011!
Gotta get some art parts! And as for the "other" C word (cooking) I avoid that whenever and however possible too! But I don't have as good an excuse as yours...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to see if I can wait then..... I suppose it's not THAT long, if you don't think about it too much...
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna miss the daily blog, but we understand. Wouldn't think of getting in the way of creating art for CHA! First things first, right? Save some of "you" for us...and enjoy "making art!"
ReplyDeleteTeaser ads are so much fun! I can ponder about what you have come up with for all of us while I play art. Happy New Year!
