I don't think we brought enough stuf!!

No trip to Detroit is complete without a trip to Archiver's!! Woo Hoo! It was our first time there. I wish we had one closer to us. We also had to go shopping at Ikea! We barely fit everything into the van!

I'm Back!!!

Gosh It's been a while! As a lot of you know we've had computor & online issues here in the country! Well we've finaully found a server that is awesome! Fast searching & even fast sending out. Whew. I thought they were just going to leave us out here in dial up land! We are now going through a company called Redfrog. It is tower based so it doesn't even use our phone line! So I should be able to upload pictures to my blog quickly! Let's test it and see!

I went to CTMH Regonials in Detroit recently. It was a three day weekend of stamping & sharing business ideas. This artwork is from some of the wonderfully talented group of ladies that were there. The small album is our new "Acrylic Mini Album". She did a fantastic job decorating it. She used our B&T Duos & rub-ons & lot of other CTMH accesories.

I just loved this layout! What an adorable little girl! I think the colors are beautiful together & her use of the Dimensional Element flowers is well done. this layout is from our Notebook paper pack.

Can you believe that Christmas is less than 47 days away!

Yikes! I better get shopping!

I had a Christmas card workshop the other day & created these fun cards for everyone to make. My downline (& friends) couldn't believe that I actually designed a card that you had to cut! Yup, a Poinsettia with 5 extra petals, per card!! Next thing you know we'll be coloring every card!!

I especially love the carnation card. Very elegant. And yes we did have to color! I used my favorite method which is watercolor pencils. They are easy to use & give you lots of control.

New stamp set!

I received "Take Flight" in my last order. I'm thrilled to have such a beautiful "realistic" wildlife stamp set! Those of you who know me are probable chuckling right now, cuz you know how I am! Anyway this set has inspired me! It's taken my card making to a whole new level! If you've ever ventured on a hunt for masculan stamps you know how hard they are to find. You gotta love this one!!

Croppers Gone WILD!

We had a great time at the "Croppers Gone WILD" Close to My Heart Scrap Weekend in Oct. What an enjoyable, busy weekend. It was nice to see everyone again & meet so many new enthusiastic croppers. I enjoyed helping you all. We had great food & tons of prizes! The Grand Prize winners of those 2 CUTE bags (made by Amanda) full of CTMH Goodies were... Drum roll please... Julie Szarowicz & Carole Heinze who are Mother & daughter! Watch for info on our next weekend crop on Feb. 23, 24 & 25, 2008.
