urban prairie magazine : refueled finding maddie's self portrait on her new camera new vintage treasures for a new vintage project kit thursday night audible wars with jayney

it's demo time

so nikki and i sepnt all day saturday down at picture me perfect scrapping and doing demos for nsd. and i was lucky enough to have nikki film my little demo, sewing fabric strip flowers that i then added to an altered canvas made with the new sassafrass papers {um. LOVE!}, a jenni bowlin bingo card and some tim holtz crackle paint.

i think i'm going to start doing this more, little vblog entries. wouldn't it be cool to see a layout created fast frame from start to finish?

thanks nikki for filming!! and make sure you check her video out too!
love that cute perky redhead!

happy monday!
xoxo

odds & bits

so you want a sneak peek... don't you? my banner class i'm teaching in tennessee at sisiversary is my all time most favorite project ever. lots of yummy goodness from my generous sponsors; hambly, tinkering ink and of course we'll be using the new papers i designed for SIStv. plus there will be vintage fabric & trim. glitter, yes, lots & lots of glitter. and some vintage embellies and other embellies lovingly handmade by me, just for class participants. you can register {{here}}.

and did you see the other classes? if i wasn't teaching i would take them all!

also, in other news my class at picture me perfect was canceled as i'll be attending scrap etc and helping allison at the hambly make & take. however, my sweet friend nikki is teaching a class at pmp on that day, an amazing painted layouts class so if you're in the area you should go. i would if i was in town!

and, if you're going to be at scrap etc. make sure you come and say hi!

happy monday!
xoxo
