Key to My Heart

Layout from convention

Convention 2008 was fantastic--Oh my did I have a blast. I had an excellent roommate Nancy and we made cute projects. Here is one of the layouts we made at convention called : "I love my city".

Life's a Jungle (July Stamp of the Month)

I am in a stamp of the month card swap with other Close to My heart consultants and we each come up
with designs using the same stamp sets and paper. This is what I came up with for July's LIFE IS A JUNGLE stamp of the month.
I used the coluzzle file folder, boom-di-ada paper, spiral clip, hemp cord, and chocolate ribbon.
Stamped images and then colored them in with chalk. I love to color!

Simply Adorable

Chocolate and Blush make an excellent color combination.

Assorted Silhouette cards

These 4 beautiful cards were taught to me by one of my creative uplines, Bren. The letters were stamped using rustic alphabet and delightful alphabet stamp sets in bamboo and black ink.

This weekend and my next workshop

I had a great weekend at the San Diego Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook Expo.
I found some new customers who just love the clear acrylic stamps. Who doesn't?
I really enjoy demonstrating how to use these stamps ...so clear, versatile and store nicely without
taking up much space and like the wooden stamps.
At my next workshop we'll create this beautiful layout and decorate a chocolate gift tin with out scraps. Very pretty!
