Rambling....

I’m so thankful for the beautiful weather where I live. It’s sunny and warm. We have a baseball game tonight (perfect baseball weather) and then I will RUSH home to watch David Archuleta perform. McKay downloaded some of this songs on ITUNES. It’s kind of weird knowing David- before AMERICAN IDOL. Fame is so funny. I can’t imagine going from NO

ONE

knows you- to MILLIONS of people who do. They are getting pretty nasty on TV, online,etc. about “the real David” and his father. To set the records straight- the rumors are so untrue- his dad IS NOT the evil SHOW dad that they are portraying. He is not mean and demanding of his son. I know that David will remain the great young man that he has always been. When it comes down to it- I feel that David Cook will win because of this age, genre and such. Oh, and he is greatly talented too!

Both David’s are amazing!!!!

I am so impressed and wanted to HIGHLIGHT an amazing album contest winner on my blog.

This is the winner's entry SIMON KAMPS. She entered her book at www.coordinatescollections.com and I LOVE it!!!!

Simon used the stitched file folder that I designed when I was with Junkitz.  I LOVE this project!!!! It is clever, creative and I think INSPIRING!!! Congrats Simon-

I want to share a project that I will be teaching this summer. It's a small travelogue book-

 

I used my new stamps on the cover- I am loving playing with the stamps!!!! I used the BIA covers too. Since it is a class, I with show just a few images. I am so excited to teach more- I know I have several stores on a waitlist. I am wanting to make it to more stores this year. Contact me if you are on the waitlist and want to confirm anything, or to inquire about my schedule. I have been having issues of emails bouncing- not getting to me- for the past few months.

So I have to share a photo that I came across from NSD. I was blown away-

Now I LOVE all of the different examples of my CLEAR dome rings decorated.

WOW- K2 Scrapbooking in Sarasota FL did my rings for NSD. I get asked all the time, about visuals of clear dome rings decorated. So I thought- let's do a contest- my official FIRST ever contest!!!! Decorate one of my clear rings (TC-2304 Clear Rings) in ANY manner and send me your image. I will PICK 5 WINNERS who will be featured on my website & blog. Each winner will get a prize package from me!!!!! Sound fun????

Requirement: HAVE FUN!!!! and send a brief description of how/what you did to your ring. I can't wait to see what you can come up with! Deadline: May 25th. I want to announce the winners and send the prizes before I go teach at Scrap a Ganza.  I hope you'll join in on the fun!!!!
