Tim Holtz stamping......

I went to the Memories Scrapbooking Expo in Columbus over the weekend...mostly I was very busy working at the Scrap Happy area. But, I did manage to sneak away for a couple of minutes to go check out the Tim Holtz stuff. I love so much of it....and some of it is too abstract for me. I did find some stamp sets to buy, though. I made a tag with some of the stamps so I thought I would share it with you.

I threw a little water on it and then stamped all of my images. Then I decided I wanted more water spots and dropped more water on it.....mistake! It only takes one time to learn not to do something. It ran my black ink....boooo hooooo. I am no longer really happy with it, but thought I would share it anyway. I love the colors.....the middle is broken china distress ink and the edges are done with vintage photo distress ink. I am really liking those distress inks....just have to play with them a little more!!

Blogging.....

Hi everybody!! I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that I am now blogging for my LSS! I am excited that she thinks enough of my work to want me to post on her blog!!! If you all want to pop over and see what is going on, here is the link: http://www.scraphappyohio.blogspot.com/

She is doing some updating to her online store, but once it gets all done and completely updated, I will be able to link right to it for you. I am pretty excited about this and I hope you are, too!!! I will be adding a new post every Tuesday and Friday, so click to be a follower so you don't miss a thing!

Copic Beginner class...

This is the new image for my beginner classes I teach for Copic markers. I get tired of coloring the same thing over and over so I change it up every so often.

....cute little thing! :)

Birthday Card...

This is a birthday card for my mother-in-law....(hope she doesn't look at my blog).

Hero Arts, Martha Stewart, Nestabilitie and Stampin' Up! stamp .....LOVE that new MS punch I used!!

Thank you card...

This card is much prettier in person....

I used a unknown brand stamp (music notes), a silhouette cut-out (the flourish), a Stampin' Up exclusive Sizzix die (the little leaves)...and Tim Holtz's new dies!! (the flowers and the film strip). Had a lot of fun making this card. It is a thank you card for our niece and she is going to be in Annie at school so I thought the music notes and film strip fit in with that.

Easter card...

I loved this stamp when I saw it in the store and fought and fought with myself not to buy it. Then someone else bought it and sat there and colored it in (thanks, Cathy!), so I just had to have it then!

Banananananana........

This image I colored for my friend Susie to give to a friend of hers....

This banana was probably the hardest thing I ever colored in so far. Hope she likes it!!
