Doesn't she pull at your heartstrings??? Look at those eyes. This beautiful child is from Paper Whimsy and Gale is 2nd to none in her wonderful images.

Wings, flowers, and tag are from Maya Road. Paint dabbers were used to add a bit of interest to the chipboard. The Alcohol Inks are used again in the metal flowers. I'm soooo into the glitter thanks to Lisa Pace!She makes you want to break out the little bottles and get your studio all glitzed up a bit.

That Time of the Year!















It's the time of year when you break out the jars of glitter and the gold embossing powder and snowflake stamps! Lisa Pace from Maya Road is the the "Queen of Glitter" and really inspired me to get it going on some little tags.

There's a Tim Holtz stamp in there and just a peak of a Studio 490 one. Love those stamps!!!! Paper by Basic Grey...they are so wonderful with coordination of papers!!!! So get out your glitter and glam and get creative!!! I've really gotten a collection of rhinestones to add a touch of "bling" to a few pieces, too!

Embossing Paper and Metal










Here is some paper run through the Cuttlebug. Then using Snow Cap pigment ink over the raised portion, it adds just a bit more dimension! This thing is sooooo cool!
~
Chipboard, Rub-ons, and flowers from Maya Road, with glitter, paint pens and Alcohol Inks added to everything.

The possibilities are endless!

Christmas Workshop Class!

Class was really fun today! And they were soooo into their work you could hear a pin drop at times!!!

Here we had 2 girls with their books NEAR done. And it was somebodies birthday, too. Guess who.


The Tim Holtz alcohol inks on Fragments technique was a hit, I think. Everyone's turned out different, and each one a work of art. I only wish I had remembered the camera before they all started to migrate out the door. 13 people to make great gifts for Christmas. Make sure you're nice.

We had a mother and daughter team of Jean and Sheila. Jean was just in the process of putting on the ribbons.....and Sheila was on her way to shop. They were a great group and happy they got a chance to learn to use the Bind-It-All again. Thanks, Ladies!










Next they want a Ten Seconds Studio metal class!!!

Crafting Day


Last night was sleep-over night. So today was craft day. We had to make a bookmark with some of the cool Cloud9 papers, stickers and rubons!
Erin stamped a bit, too. Did some Distress Inking on the edges to complete. She loved it, and it will help keep her place in her reading.....till Emma pulls it out!
Be good to each other.....every day!
