Hello Peeps,
Thank you for celebrating Crafter’s Companion 5th birthday with us! I had a blast looking at all the other cards my teammates made – just amazing eye candy! And seriously, thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me such kind comments. Each one made my day!
Here is the winner for Popcorn the Bear – Party Time stamp set that I gave away on my blog! (no, I picked this one – kids were glued to the Ipad this morning..yes, even my 2 yr old)
Amber Sheaves says:
Great card. I love that background brick paper. It really makes the image pop. I subscribed to your feed, although I’m not sure what that does or how to use it. I usually do GFC and follow from there.
Huge congrats to you Amber!
Please let me know your mailing address ASAP so I can have Crafter’s Companion mail out your prize.

Good morning peeps!!
This is a WAY WAY overdue winner post .. no I didn’t forget to pick them, I just didn’t have time to post it while I was on vacation. We were out every day and I was way too pooped out at the end of the day to barely even check my email. Many apologizes to you all.
Without further delay, here are the several winners for my July giveaways!

Congrats ladies! Send me your email ASAP so I can get you your prizes!
Hugs to you all for sticking with me this month of July while I played my month away!
Well …. it’s officially launched!! And I am beyond excited to tell you more about the new venture at Scrapbook News and Review!
They have assembled an amazing and talented group of paper crafters, digital and mixed media artists to bring you a wide variety of online classes and ebooks at The Art Studio!
… and my first class will starting in July and here it is
I will be teaching a technique and application based 4 part class series called Bring Your Style consisting of Flower Soft and embossing techniques, basic scrapbooking and card making design concepts and a hands-on application class in finding your art style.
Here is the official description:
Do you like adding visually interesting texture and dimension to your layouts and cards? Is it important to you that they don’t cost and arm and leg? And that they don’t add significant bulk in your albums or postage to your cards?
I sure like adding them and it’s important to me that they’re inexpensive and lightweight. In order to accomplish this, I like to break out my favorite glitters, embossing powders and some Flower Soft. Luckily, all three are easy and unique ways of adding height and texture and they also last a long time.
When it comes to using them on my projects, I like to step outside the box and use them on my layouts and cards in unique and non-traditional ways. In the end, I stretch my supplies as well as add a little more bang for my buck.
Bring Your Style is a series of four well-thought out classes. Each week covers a different product to help you:
Bring Your Style was designed to be a progressive class series that will teach you nine different techniques and an in-depth look at what a good layout comprises, ending with you completing a layout that uses all three concepts. And, even better, brings your own style to the table!
It’s a comprehensive class that will take you from creative technique based to individualized application, all for just $19.99 per class. A huge discount is available if you bundle all the classes into one fabulous mega class.
You’ll get hands-on and individualized attention and feedback in the final wrap-up class that will only be available to participants who attended at least one other class in the series. You’ll bring your completed layout to the wrap-up class and learn from others as well. I assure you that it will be well worth the effort.
Now head on over to The Art Studio hit the Save My Spot button and reserve your seat today.
*Giveaway alert: I will be giving away a free class series (worth $50) today as well*
What you have to do – Share this post and leave me a comment that you’ve done it .. I’ll be drawing from the comments left. Good luck everyone!
Hello all,
I have an announcement to make! I feel like the luckiest person in the world – I’m on the Paper Craft Planet design team!
Paper Craft Planet is one of the best online communities here in blogland – awesome tutorials, industry news, challenges and so much more! One of my favorite posts that I keep going back to is the post reporting the scrapbook and crafting trends following Winter CHA 2012 and the best part – the amazingly welcoming sense of community. I think about half a dozen people I didn’t know privately messaged a welcome note to me when I first joined the community about 6 months ago. How cool is that!
This time is no exception – Susanna and the current design team made me feel so incredibly wanted on the team with their extremely prompt and so heartfelt welcome. I ♥ you girls!
Who are these talented girls I’m referring to:
and a HUGE congrats to my friends Wendy Jordan and Janelle Stollfus for being the other new SuperNovas too!
Head on over to The Planet blog to check it out! I’ll see you there …
Good morning everyone!
