Heidi's Group #11

For my private Scrapbook Class for "Heidi's Group" we have been working our way through a 12 x 12 friendship album. Here is #11 of our project. This simple layout features my sweet friend Peggy from Prescott!

Scrapbook Creations Magazine

My first international publication (not counting Canada)!!! Scrapbook Creations commissioned me to have my Scrapper's Dictionary project published in their wonderful magazine. What an honor. The Scrapper's Dictionary project was a Master Mini Books Class that I did at Scrapbooks, Etc. last summer. Scrapbook Creations did an awesome job showcasing my project and were a pleasure to work with!!!

March Class

My March 19th, Master Mini Books Class has sold out! Thanks to all who signed up! Here are a few more pictures of our fun project.

Thanks so much for all who have signed-up already. For those of you who wish to take this class and haven't sign-up yet...consider yourself warned!

(Thanks for sending me this cute picture BFF)

Join Me...

On Friday, March 19th at 10:30 for my Master Mini Books Class ($29). This month our adorable project is: All I need to know, I learned from the Easter Bunny.

You will be working with custom designed die cuts shapes that I created specifically for this project, stamping and inking techniques, ribbon, border punches, microbeads and rhinestones!

Please plan on attending this class, as there is quite a bit of stamping involved. In addition to your basic tools please bring:

Tape Runner, Liquid Adhesive (Tombo white glue or Scotch White glue recommended), Splat Mat, Edge Distresser, Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Ranger Foam Ink Applicator Tool. If you have please bring a flat head screwdriver to assemble and disassemble this book.

Please call Scrapbooks, Etc. at 480-854-2303 to sign up. Don't forget to ask for your 15% monthly class discount. Please call soon because the last time I checked I only had 10 spots left!

This amused me...

From the Klic-N-Kut retreat...

Dalana has the biggest baddest cutter (the 24" Maxx)...and the teeny-tiniest computer. Priorities!
I LOVE it!!!

Scottsdale KNK Retreat

This weekend I am in Scottsdale at for a Klic-N-Kut Retreat! I am learning so much about my KNK Maxx Digital Cutter. Most of this I will not retain...but at least I know more about the possibilities of this AMAZING MACHINE! Sandy McCauley (our instructor and my personal cutting mentor) is doing a wonderful job. She warned me that my head may explode...and I think she may be right about that. I am here with some of my Best Girlfriends from our Thursday Therapy Scrap Group and am making new friends with wonderful women from all around the country.

I can't wait to get back home and create using this expanded skill set! I still have another 24-hours to go!

The Bread Basket Bakery Rocks!

And this is why!!! Look at these AMAZING COOKIES they made for my "Thanks-a-Latte class last Friday. Visit the Bread Basket Bakery located right next to Scrapbooks, Etc. in Mesa! They have so many yummy things!
