HUGE CONGRATS to 2 FRIENDS!

2010 is off to a GREAT ART START!!!

First, I want to send congrats to my friend Lori Hassler...
for being chosen as an ARTIST CHOICE winner on Tim's blog...

WHAT AN HONOR!

I first met Lori in one of my classes...then another class & then she was on the Mexico cruise.

Not only is she VERY talented, she's oh so funny too... and her art is quirky cool!

You may remember an earlier post showing a cruise T-Shirt she designed...

Tim & I were both very impressed.

So...I swiped...lifted...borrowed (STOLE) this photo from Tim's blog to show her winning ART!
Congrats again Lori!!!


And now more CONGRATS!!!

This time to my friend from the UK...
Hels Sheridan.

She sent me this exciting news last week, but I wanted to wait 'til I got my copy so that I could share a larger photo...

Not only is her ART published in the Craft Stamper Magazine...

HEL'S MADE THE COVER!!!
AWESOME!


and thanks to Hels...
so did studio 490!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!

Here's a close look...



And on the inside there's...
MORE ART!

More studio 490...tim's idea-ology swivel clasps & muse token & the banner page, scallop frame & bird are from Maya Road!




How cute that she used the small flower for wings on the Maya Road bird!

I LOVE the background stamp on the Maya Road frame...




Checked off the TO-DO list...
Ranger's designer challenge!...SENT!
New Ranger samples...SENT...
Can't wait to show you!!!

A goodie package to Cher, the random commenter...SENT!

Still ON the TO-DO list...
more book project instructions to type...
Maya Road samples to make...
Tim's idea-ology samples to make...

A NEW acrylic cover for the 4th release stamps needs to be done!

YIKES...I best get moving...

But before I go, here's a studio 490 peek....

Rick is like the "comment cop" around here...
he asks about the number of comments daily...

When I told him there were 71...he said...
hey...they deserve a peek...didn't you say you would?

OK dear...whatever...mr comment cop...

The magic number here is 4...
3 obvious...one...NOT
The scroll is a current stamp, so don't count that one...



Not a large share...I HAVE to save stuff for later!

See you tomorrow...

Susan makes another guest artist appearance...

she's an angel & you'll see why...

until then...
