yikes...long time no blog...
I spent last weekend at Craft Fancy in Arlington Heights, Illinois...
THANKS to Carol & Brian...your store is just AWESOME...
so comfy...so convenient...so organized...
there was wonderful food...wonderful shopping...
and even a surprise birthday cake...
THANKS to everyone who spent the weekend...making art!
you ALL did a great job!
we spent 2 FULL days making a fun mixed media art journal...
my crackled texture paste was a HUGE hit!
here's the art parts back cover...
and a closer peek at how cool the cracks look...
this photo doesn't show it...
but we added the translucent embossing paste thru the tree stencil to accent just the leaves...
love love love that raised effect...
yippee!
wow...you liked them as much as I do...
I LOVE the convenience & I love that there's no clean up or wasted paste & that the jars keep custom colored paste fresh...
hmmm...what else?
in my spare time, we've been making kits for classes...LOTS of kits...and shipping them & reordering supplies & reorganizing our basement class supply area...
and working on NEW things & testing out ideas...
more to come on that later...
I shared this art journal page earlier this week on

I'm off to The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, Texas to teach the same 2 day mixed media art journal...

ReplyDeleteBusy, busy lady! That's a good thing! I just received every re inker and so excited about that! Well except for Dandelion, because my fried Kris decided blue was not the new yellow! lOL!
ReplyDeleteOf course I also received more embossing paste!

What a great class!!!! Making the covers was so much fun but then the pages gave us even more chances to experiment and be creative. Thanks for another wonderful class and making my birthday even happier. Being in class with you an ideal way to spend my birthday but the surprise cake made it even better.
ReplyDeleteLove it, have a great time in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI just got a call that there was one more space left at the Crafty Scrapper! Woohoo, I get to play with Wendy and crackle paste for 2 days!! Someone pinch me. When Paula Cheney visited last year, she observed that Texas women love their Gilded shoes. Hope you brought yours so you don't feel left out :)
ReplyDeleteBoth projects look great! Wish I could see that back cover in person so I could see what's you're talking about. Maybe you could try to post a close up pic?
ReplyDeleteLove your journal covers! You are just a traveling machine lately!
ReplyDeleteLove the house!!
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like an awesome trip, have a blast! I love all your embossing pastes, I don't how I managed without them.
