Book in a Box

This morning I was going through some of my projects from "Way Back" (2 or 3 years ago) and found this Book in a Box I did for Tammy. The papers were by My Minds Eye and the project features Tammy's niece, Rachel. She loves purple! Enjoy!

Surfin' Pomeranian

My fun friend Polsia sent me this cute Surfin' Pomeranian. She knew that I'd love him, and I do! Thanks Polsia...you know me so well!

A six-year old Pomeranian named Bobby Gorgeous waits to compete in his
20lbs and under heat at the 4th annual Helen Woodward Animal Center "Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon" at dog beach in Del Mar, California September 13, 2009.

Winter Wonderland

This layout is loosely based on a design assignment I did for Bazzill awhile back. I just love the photos, the card stock, and the SEI striped paper. I don't get to share work like this with you very often. This is a re-designed, re-created layout for Stacie. Stacie is so generous to let me feature her amazing photos in my professional works.

Grinch Project Slideshow

Today my horoscope said...

You're perfectly even-tempered right now, and you almost certainly find yourself defusing tricky situations with ease. It's a good time to deal with domestic issues, especially family conflict.

Translation: Zen...I haz it!

Coffee Anyone?

I was showing Liz C. my favorite coffee themed patterned paper at Scrapbooks, Etc. on Friday and told her I would post some projects I did using them. These papers are from Creative Imaginations and these projects were on display at the on-site store during Creative Escape! Enjoy!!!

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who signed up for my Master Mini Books Class this past week! Both classes sold out and I didn't have a kit to spare. Sadly, my count was off and I had one more student than I had kits. A very special thank you to my sweet and funny co-worker Sandy T. (who is still my friend after I snatched her kit from her).

Next month my Master Mini Books project is "The GRINCH's Christmas Schedule." Please, if you know that you want to take this class (or purchase the kit), do not wait until the last minute! I showed the unfinished project in class and will post a photo, update my website and have the sample on display at Scrapbooks, Etc. this week. This class is $29 and will be held Thursday, 10/1 from 6 to 8:30PM and Friday 10/2 from 10:30 to 1. You can take 15% of one class per month at Scrapbooks, Etc. Call Scrapbooks, Etc. to sign up at 480-854-2303.

On-Line Page of the Month!

"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms."

This page features on of my all time favorite personal photos of my husband and Latte.

It is available for purchase in the Scrapbooks, Etc. on-line store.

Happy Friday!

Bacon and this week!

For the record... Wild Horse Pass has really, really good bacon. You can verify this with Carol Wingert!

I just re-opened the main on-line store for Master Scrapbook Designs (http://www.masterscrapbookdesigns.com/shop/catalog/). All those AWESOME ladies from Creative Escape just about wiped out my entire inventory. Time to get busy!!!

This week I have my Master Mini Books classes! WOW! Both Thursday and Friday classes have SOLD OUT! Thank you so much! I am currently working on the sample for my October class: The Grinch's Christmas Schedule! Sign-up early and reserve your spot. Just call Scrapbooks, Etc. at 480-854-2303! Don't forget...you can take 15% of one class at Scrapbooks, Etc. every month!

Got Zebra?

I had such a great time working at Creative Escape this year. Zebra was everywhere! I saw zebra flowers, zebra tops, zebra tights and even zebra cowboy hats! I met Bubbles the Zebra (above photo) who attended the event and even made an appearance at Scrapbooks, Etc. during the Bazzill Bus Tour! I had the pleasure of working with Sharon as TA's in Carol Wingert's class (pictured above). A good time was had by all!
