So Char, send me your address and we'll get that prize kit out to you this week before I head to Ankeny, Iowa.


Yep, I'll be at Memory Bound for classes this weekend. Hope to see you there! Looking forward to seeing all my wonderful friends again!!!!


When I was in Elmhurst at Creative Cuts and Crafts...I snagged some stamps from the delightful Dyan Reaveley. This set is Pondering Petunia.

Fun????? Oh, yeah!!

I used Distress Stains... Pine Needles, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed, and Barn Door on a #8 Manila Tag.

Then I used Julie Balzer's template to add the chicken wire, stars, and dots with paint dabbers, Pitch Black and Malted Milk.

They just got a TON of templates in at Inspiration Emporium from The Crafter's Workshop here.  And $5 shipping within the U.S.

Oh, and the Tim Holtz District Market totes are in there, too !

I added Little Labels stamps from Tim. And of course some Distress Inks here and there....can't work without DISTRESS INKS!!!!

Stamp the hand and Petunia on manila cardstock and cut out.

The TomBow markers added all the color to Petunia.

Her hair, that turned out great, is Sticky Back Canvas from Claudine Hellmuth. It's leftover from another project I painted and sprayed. I just frayed it out and it worked great for my Punky Lookin' Gal.

Boots, Glasses and Lipstick are all highlighted with Turquoise, Burgundy, and Tiara (Glitz) Stickles.

Layer it onto some black chipboard, add some pen marks, and add cutouts with pop dots for dimension.

That's it for today. Kits are all packed and ready to go.

Going to go sit on the sunporch, read the Help, drink coffee, and watch the leaves fall.

Be well, and be good to each other. We're all we have that matters.

Erin Elizabeth and I at WICKED.....she loved it. And that made my very, very happy!

mingle GIVEAWAY.........Stampington's newest magazine & MORE

The publishers of Somerset Studio, Somerset Home, Artful Blogging, Art Journaling, Belle Armoire, and many more, have decided to come out with a new type of magazine–Mingle.

I was asked to do a review of the new publication from Stampington, and I must tell you, it is glorious!

 

I don't think I've seen a publication that quite captures the essence of a gathering of Artists as beautifully as the pictures found in this magazine. They speak to me.

The tag line, “Creative Ideas for Unique Gatherings” is perfect for this fabulous collection of recipes, ideas, articles and the most wonderful photographs you can imagine. They take you into the celebrations and retreats, the kitchens and shopping trips, the weddings and renewals, with Artists and people in all walks of life, trying to capture the essence of friendship.

And they were extremely successful.

The thing I loved was the advertising, what small percentage of the pages it takes up, is all in the back of the magazine. Nothing interrupts you from a non-stop journey through the entire publication. You can sit back, relax and enjoy the entire trip through all the articles.

 

Then read the ads!

Here is the Contents page...

"The much-anticipated premiere issue of Mingle is finally here! Readers will delight in all the fun and unique ideas for gathering and celebrating we've put together. From a Thankful for Friends party thrown in the woods to extraordinary tips for hosting exceptional gathering with a creative flair, we're hoping to inspire you to find more reasons and ways to celebrate. This issue also explores two intimate artistic retreats - Pen & Paper: A Be Present and Do What You Love. There's so much eye candy in this issue you won't want to miss is."

So, if you’d like to win a copy of Mingle  just leave a comment here on the blog.  I'll throw in another PRIZE. A Chunky ATC kit for fun!!!

You have to leave the comment on the blog....not on FB....OK?
