A MILLION thank YOU's for all the wonderful comments about the Paper Crafts blog hop.
I TOLD you it would be really fun!
Talk about amazing contributions from everyone involved....
I was very impressed! It's fun to see what others SEE.
and MORE thank you's to everyone who has signed up for this Saturday's workshops @ Scrapbook Friend'z, in Bloomington, Illinois ...
WITHOUT even seeing one of the projects...
YIKES...
You guys are very TRUSTING!
Last I heard...there were only 2 seats left. REALLY TRUSTING...
Ok...on Saturday we'll start with this very fun...
ALL grunge...
perfectly practical pocket journal...
and then after lunch we'll be making this...???
Well since you haven't seen the final finished real deal...
I'll just show you some peeks...
I LOVE the new memo pins...a LOT!
Oh look...the saying is a perfect fit for the 1 1/2 inch square memory frame...
who planned that???
and yes...the glaze pen dots are on top of the memory glass for more dimension...

one final peek...
we fired up the Big Shot Express & cut LOTS of textured grungeboard with tim's new Sizzix alterations regal crest die...
You KNOW what's coming next...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dies...
SERIOUSLY...
LOVE them...
and I LOVE to use my background stamps over them!
See that peek of yellow in the lower right corner?
It's my new favorite...butterscotch pigment...
I've been using it on everything...with the blending tool...what FUN!
OK...gotta run...
LOTS to do here...
The painters will start Monday for a redo of the main bath (getting rid of the wallpaper...I'm so OVER wallpaper...loved it...now it's out of here...), our bedroom, the office and the laundry room.
I HATE chaos...but I think that's on the agenda for next week...
I may need a mojito for medicinal purposes only...just thinking ahead...
so...after the painting is done...
we can FINALLY bring my Christmas gift home...
I been waiting a LONG time for sure. My brother was teasing me that if we didn't get it here soon...it would need to be refinished again... YIKES!!! I GOT the hint!
Off to finish the kits and write some instructions for Saturday...
I hope to recruit Rick to help with stamping...
if we can crank the kits out...
and get the supplies all packed...
I may be able to squeeze in a few minutes to...
make art!
