Stamp Club

As unbelievable as this is..I am working on my upcoming Stamp Club projects a week ahead of time.  Those of you that personally know me know I am the world's biggest procrastinator, which is why this is so surprising!


This is the card we will be making at Stamp Club.  I am excited about this because I am using a new marker technique (well new to me!).  I call this technique tap dancing.  I inked the stamp with my Daffodil Delight stamp.  Then I used the Calypso Coral marker and 'tapped' it all over the inked stamp.  When I was done, I breathed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink.  Then I stamped.  I know this isn't easy to see in the pic, but it creates an awesome two-tone/highlight look.  I just love it and can't wait to share it with the girls at Stamp Club!!!!

Last Class in Sylvania

Just finished the kits for my last class in Sylvania tomorrow.  I feel kind of sad about this!  This is the first place I started teaching card classes.  I really have to thank Lisa, the owner of the store in Sylvania, for giving me the opportunity to teach classes.  Neither of us knew if I would be good at it or not...but she took a chance on me.  Thank you Lisa.  It is sad to see that her store is closing it's doors forever.  I wish her luck with her new career path!!!! 
And, I also, have a new path for my career.  Now that First Impressions is closing, I will be moving to Bayer's Pampered Stamper at Reynolds and Dorr!  I am now going to be teaching classes at this awesome store!  My first class at this store will be on Thursday!  I am soooo excited!

Valentine Frame

Howdy!  I wanted to show everyone a Valentine Frame I made for a friend of mine.  It is magnetic which makes it perfect for the fridge!!!
I wish the picture was better because it looks much nicer in person!  It has lots of small, intricate parts that the picture just doesn't show.  It was fun to make too!  I made four of them by request of my friend.  This isn't the only thing I have been working on, I hope to have a few minutes very soon so I can show you more of what I have been working on!  I have some new products and some neat Quarter Mania items!
