I know it's bad but I stayed up ALL night last night to met a BIG DEADLINE. I wish I could talk about it. I listened to my favorite music to keep me awake and watched infomericals. Late a night, I like to have a little company. ha! Wow, that informercial with Cindy Crawford always makes me want to buy her "meaningful beauty" line. ha! Seriously, has she NOT aged in 15 years. Why is it at 4am in the morning we thing about buying some of these things? Is it just me. ha!
Anyway, I am finishing up the deadline and packing. I have three PINK suitcases loaded with product and a few clothes. I am going to San Diego, CA to teach at The CKU REUNION event. Oh, I am excited. I love California, and I love the girls that are going. I have been so fortunate to have so many friends through scrapbooking. I have lots of surprises for the students who took my album track. I just feel so LUCKY!!!!! Plus, I honestly love the girls at CK Media. I can't wait to hang out with them too. So it's work but for me because I LOVE what I do so much- it's truly a PASSION.
ANNOUNCING I will be going back to visit my friends at SCRAPBOOK ISLAND!!!!!!!! I will be teaching workshops again. I LOVE Laurie and her staff SO MUCH! I consider Laurie a REAL friend and I am looking forward to visiting everyone there. The date is FEBRUARY 17-19th 2012. Mark it on your calendar if you are in Northern California and want to come.
So today I am sharing more projects from the design team.

Ghouls and Goblins....
Who says that Halloween is just for kids. It's just as fun for adults too. What will you be dressed up as this year? Every year we get together with family and friends for dinner then take the kids out to go trick or treating. I love that we all get excited for Halloween. It's so fun seeing all the scary Halloween decorations, the different costumes cute and scary. Also, stopping over to our nearby Halloween carnival in our neighborhood. I especially love all the Halloween collections that come out. Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows is a simple yet elegant and a touch of spookiness to her collection this year. I love her stamps that coordinate with the paper collection. If you haven't bought your copy of her Cricut cartridge CHIC and SCARY well...you are missing out! It's the perfect addition to your Halloween projects. Here is a wreath I created using TC Chic & Scary Cricut cartridge and Haunted Hallows papers which included black and silver glitter cardstock paper. Don't they look awesome! Thanks Teresa for designing such awesome images!!
I used Haunted Hallows Poison paper to cut out the labels and attached to Tim Holtz's apothecary bottles which you can add anything into the bottles. I just put red glitter. I also added some flowers. black&orange damask ribbon and a skeleton from michaels. I used my Cricut Expression 2 machine which I totally love! So user friendly... cut out the haunted house, bat and spider with TC black glitter paper. The haunted house was cut at 2.75"; bat 2.5"; spider 2". Cut the spider web at 3", spider web border at 3.5" and mask at 2.5" using TC silver paper. Add one bling to each end of the mask. To attach all elements I used hot glue gun. Now your wreath is ready to be hung on the front door or in your home.
