January GD for Nikki Sivils

I am very excited and honored to be the Nikki Sivils GD for Jan.  I received the Sugar Cookie collection and I thought it perfect for a Valentine mini album.

Lots of layers and embellies on the cover

I took Nikki's chipboard paddie and adhered ribbon to the edges

Made lots of tags to go into the album

I used Nikki's "Will He Be The One" stamp set to stamp love tickets and hearts

I had a great time making this mini album.  And with the left over pieces I made some Valentine Cards

I used the Verve Stamp Jan sketch for this card

I used a I "heart" 2 stamp sketch

Thank you for looking and be sure to go over to Nikki's blog - the designers there are fabulous and Nikki is starting to show "CHA Sneak Peeks"!

Copic Class Fun Fun Fun @ Paper Niche

I had a great day coloring and playing with my friends @ the Paper Niche.  I took the intermediate class with Sally Lynn Mac Donald and got to color to my hearts content.  I never grew up I have always loved sketching and coloring :)

Had a blast with Sally and my friends, thanks girlies!!!

That is Sally and Gine from the Paper Niche

Thats Gine again, doesn't she look pretty :)

Sally is using her Jean jacket to make texture on the image.

Tawni on the right is the Copic Sales Rep and Lynn on the left is a regular at the Paper Niche.  By the way, these are all Tawni's pictures which I am borrowing (LOL).  I forgot my camera (bad girl)

That's me goofing off as usual and my BFF Lisa.

I had such a good time with everyone!! The class was awesome and Paper Niche ROCKS!!

Winter

Finished this cute envelope album using the BoBunny Midnight Frost collection.  This will be the first of 4 albums using BoBunny.  I will be teaching this SEASON'S Series Workshop at the Paper Niche.

Will post more pics later.  Be sure to check out the Paper Niche.  My class is scheduled for Feb. 5.  It will be an all day workshop so that you walk away with a complete finished album.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

May all your dreams come true

Season's Greetings PINK Album

I finished the last touches on my final Christmas Album for the year.  I already feel a little weepy ... after all the preparing, excitement, parties and anticipation of Christmas I always feel a little sad when the tree has to come down and the Holidays are past.  So I am putting away all my lovely Christmas embellishments and paper (boohoo) until next year.

Here are some of the pages in the Season's Greetings Album

For more pictures of this album, or if you are interested in it click here  Season's Greetings.

Thank you for looking and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Finished Another Christmas Album

Just finished what I think will be my last Christmas album for the year.  This album is a little out of my normal color scheme - its Pink!!  I usually do not scrap pink Christmas album but the paper was so cute that it inspired my inner pinkness.  The binding is canvas which I hand stitched.  Then the snow flake cover inspired me to sew buttons on the binding because I thought it would be cute.

I will be posting this album later tonight, but here is a sneak peek.  I will post more pictures later.

Shout Out to Create 365!!

Got back last night from my trip to Louisiana and the most wonderful and nicest ladies ever!!  Talk about your southern hospitality .... and dont even get me started on the amazing food.  I had the best time with all the girls at Create 365, thank you, thank you for being sooooooo welcoming.  You were all awesome.  I made friends with so many of you and I wish you all lived right next door so I could scrap with you all daily!!

I want to especially thank (sweet) Amy, you are amazing little girl and you are one talented lady!!  I loved everything you did and your store is so darn cute. 

Thank honey-bunny for welcoming me into your home and your heart.  I also want to thank Tasha for being my roomie LOL, I dont want you to feel left out!!

I want to thank everyone for taking my classes and again thank you to Nikki Sivils for donating your awesome product for give-aways with the Bee Happy class. 

Packing the kits and checking it twice

Getting ready to fly out to CREATE 365.  Packing my kits and checking my list to make sure I havent forgotten anything!!

The thing that I dont like about traveling is that I cant take my organizer tote full of my tools!!  But I am sure Amy will let me borrow hers.  I am also bringing a winter project to work on while at the Christmas Crop!!  Cant wait to try some delicious pizza, no pig skin for me!! LOL.  I know that Amy and Suzy tried it but no thanks.

It's Begining to Look Alot like Christmas at CREATE 365!!

I am kitting my classes, packing my bags and getting VERY EXCITED about teaching this weekend Dec. 10-12th in LA @ CREATE 365.

I will be teaching 3 classes!!  I will also be giving away lots of goodies to all my cropping girlies.  I am bringing, albums, flowers, books, kits and of course Nikki Sivils buttons, flags and 6x6 pads to GIVE AWAY!!!

On Friday sweet Amy will be having a Christmas Crop, so come and play with us!!  I would love to meet everyone.  I will be doing a Make-N-Take playing games and giving away prizes.  I will also be teaching my Family Faves Album Class.  This class is great for gifts too.  The cost is $35.00 and it includes everything to make your album except for the adhesives so be sure to stop by Create 365 blog for "what to bring"  and check out the sample.  The album is very embellished because I am all about the embellies!!!

On Saturday, I will also be teaching two 12x12 layouts.  The first is titled "Bee Happy" using the Nikki Sivils - Willow Bee collection.  If you take this class you get goodies that Nikki sent me to spread the joy :)

My second 12x12 two page layout is titled "Life is Good".  If you sign up for this class you  will also receive a second FREE kit themed for adoption of a new christmas pet or new dolly.  Its a great kit to give a child so that mommy and child can work on the kit together.

Amy and I are going to have so much fun and I would love to share good times and laughter with you all.  So Bee Happy, and share Family Faves memories with Amy and I because Life is Good!!  Hope to see you there.
