Some LOs

Contrary to popular belief, I have made some LO lately.... I just haven't posted them. So I'll post some of my digi ones. Maybe later I will post some of my paper.


The first one is with Kris Myers' Natural Beauty Add on Kit.
The next one is kinda funny because it is Kari Q's Alyssa kit which is a baby kit. So I used it on the biggest baby I have. It really has some cool not so baby colors.


This was done with Kari Q.'s Natalie Kit. It is fun- just right for those Tweens. She does have another daughter, so I will be doing the other kit tonight.

I'm very excited to be a guest creative team member of Dawn Inskip for the month of April. I have been internet buddies with Dawn for a while. I have always lover her kits. The girl just has a way with a copic marker. I love her style. It is very unique.


The first LO is one of her older kits- Weather Station. I did this for a white space challenge at PickleBerryPop.



The next two kits used her Brand New Day kit. The first one also incorporates her Dates, Borders element kit and Paper Layers.





The colors are just awesome.

Oh....I forgot. Sweet Melissa from PBP gave me a nice award. Her blog Remember to Breathe is found here: http://mgstebbins.blogspot.com

Well I have several people that I think really promote cultural awareness, ethical and literary awareness.
My friend Monkey at Hi! Monkey is always educating the public on cultural holidays, good will to his fellow man and just having fun. I feel like the world is a better place because of him. I know my tea time has certainly been enhanced.
Sara, a dear friend of mine from Kerrville, inspires me with her charm and whit and elegant taste. She is a straight shooter and always tells me what she thinks is true and is faithful to her beliefs and convictions.

A Pencil’s Life

Life isn’t pointless
Measured by a thin black line
Dying for my art.

Ode To Recycling



Well....not so much an ode....but a bit of  a collage of sorts. I was looking around the other day at my sad little shopping bag, and I thought, "Why can't recycling and saving the environment look gorgeous. So I did something about it. 1. I took a little shopping bag that I bought at Staples. I painted some of it yellow. Nothing uniform just splattered it all over the bag. Why yellow.....because that is what I had....remember....I'm recycling and reusing here. I didn't worry that the company's logo wasn't totally covered, because I was about to take care of that.
2. I had some G45 Fashionista paper that I had left over from projects. I also made a banner with my name on the computer. I inked them to death with vintage photo. I coated them with mod podge and just placed them all over the bag. Then gave it a nice coating of mod podge paying attention to the ends. If some of the corners pop up, I don't worry about it.
3. When everything dries, I used my big bite to add flowers and some brads. I will probably add some more buttons and bling....but I can't find my needle and I have to go to the store to get it. I looked around at any of the corners...If some are sticking up, just put a button or a flower on top of it.

I think it is cute little bag and so easy to make. Plus....I didn't buy a thing.

Favorite Class







So when Carolyn handed me the new bind-it-all coverals last night and said why don't you use some Graphic 45....I said okay. I needed another address book. So this is what I have made combining G45 and some Maya Road of course. Dh is supposed to be working on making me a light box so I can take proper picts of these books. This will be a class at The Crafty Scrapper. I will bet back with the dates. We may move some around and do this sooner instead of later!
UPDATE!!!!! We are going to be doing this class on the last Sat. in March. Call the store and sign up now!

Two New Classes at The Crafty Scrapper

I have been doing a lot of Bind-It-All Classes at The Crafty Scrapper. The next two months books are up. March's class will be creating a book with a different kind of LP than I have done in the past. We will be using LP from a car this time. Of course, the book is filled with several different techniques, inking, cuttlebug ect... it is on display at the store now and will be taught on the last Sat. in March. I believe it is the 28th. For April, we will be flipping out over summer with these great little flip flop books. We will make them using the Bind-It-All. We will be working with grungeboard, cuttle bug, misters, inking, stamping, rub-ons and some Maya Road goodness. This will be the last Sat. in April.

My G45 Goodness

OK...I think I have most of my G45 things in one place in case anyone from G45 actually looks at my blog. I'm just covering my bases.


Vintage Telephone Index, Opera Glasses and Case, Little Clutch and Pen Case
My Scraponizers that I LOVE.
G45 is great even for holiday LOs.
Contem. Picts look great on the paper too.
Boy LO's are great on the paper.
And...of course heritage photos.
This one had some fragment like diamonds. Fun to play with.
Lots of layering looks great with the paper.
Of course Maya Road always enhances any LO.
It mixes well with other papers.
Even works well with bling.
This is a class book that I taught filled with many yummy techniques. It is really a sampler type book.





Mucho layering!





I don't have to add a lot of elements....because the paper is so awesome and makes great elements on it's own.
