a trip to the candy - oops - paper store!

Are you ready for some Christmas????
 (crate paper:  Falala)

a glimpse!

you can see more at Prima.typepad.com!

paper!

FYI alert!!

I know the new Prima  paper lines will sell out so I just ordered them from The Funkie Junkie!
It is a "pre-order".  The release date is sometime in August.  But this way I know I will get them.

What did I order you ask?  Heaven Sent Two and Amber Moon.  What size?  A-4 paper pads.
Great discounted price (everything is at this site!),  shipping isn't too bad, and the company has great service!  There might even be some free goodies included.

Check out the site.  Check out the paper lines.  I Know the Amber Moon papers will be used in the Sketches and Scraps card classes this Fall!!

saw it on facebook.....

I saw this on face book and decided to give it a try:  3 ATCs

They turned out just the way I hoped.  I used only what I had on hand. 

Photo heavy.......

finished

cut two from cereal box and glued together
glued canvas paper
cut wildflowers

glued flowers on and added color for the moon

masked off the moon and painted everything black

added color with all sorts of stuff:  prima wax, radiant rains,  pearl ex powders

colored some paper dolls, added wings, and words.

gotta get back to work!

OMG!!!

Watch Tim's video today introducing his halloween/holiday stuff......he says Hi to me!!!!

they're coming!

July sneak peeks have started!!

Be ready for Frank Garcia's line!  Amber Moon  looks like a winner!
Check out Prima's site for a peek!

Waiting to see the Christmas line up........

dreaming of a demo.......

In my dream I am having a demo at Scrappy Chic.......
Distress Oxide Inks and the Tim Holtz Stamp Press (remember I am a Ranger Girl - okay and anything Tim produces.....but any stamp press will work)

What techniques would you see?   Go to Jennifer McGuire.com and watch her videos for these unique inks.  I am sharing these with you because it is only a dream...missing all my friends but looking forward to my next visit!

Enjoy and if you don't have any of these inks yet, this might persuade you to purchase a few.

stopped in my tracks.....

As I was clearing my table off (well, actually pushing things down to one end), I realized there were several projects close to completion.  So, I decided to finish them before starting a new one.  Yes, we have all been there.

I came pretty close to succeeding, too.  I even got most of my pictures ready for MY baby album. Special thanks to a special friend for gifting me a beautiful book to use. 

(Some of these may be part of a class at Scrappy Chic this fall - one sheet wonders maybe?) 

Then I needed a birthday card.  

And then my house die called me and I had to make a few.  Want one?  

and then this morning I came across a project I had to try.  

I love it.  Watch for it as a class at Scrappy Chic in November!!!

So now I am going to clear off my table, again.  No, I'm going to really put things away this time and think about that junk journal.  

Phew!  And, to all who are still wondering, it is very hot again today -  great for sitting inside and crafting!
