I have been busy creating this weekend...So hopefully this week I will get some of them posted. The next few weeks are going to be very busy. I am going to springfield for the weekend and then going back out again in June to Witchita.

June will mark the issue of our new catalog. I am looking forward to the catalog as there appears to be some very exicting stamp sets on the horizon.

Below are some sneak peaks of our stamps coming in the next catalog:

here are some additional pictures of my "canvas"

the one on the right is done with the Cars stamp set from The Angel Company. I created this using the paper from Crate and transcendance embossing powder.

The one on the right is the stamp set from The Angel company called Cuddle Pug. The image was colored with colored pencils and then using the Gamsol, was blended. The phrase was stamped using Iris Pallete. The flower is chipboard, colored with Iris as well and then stamped with a stamp that Ihave in my stash.

If you are interested in these stamp sets let me know and I would be happy to help.

new canvas!

Well my week hasn't been the greatest in the world. I found out Monday that my back is not as healthy as it should be. Seems I have a vertabrae that has slipped out of place and it is cracked and not behaving. So for now, no heavy lifting....but the good news is that today I recieved a new canvas from Daily Window to try out. Girls you need one of these purses! If you are interested in one contact me and I and I can get one out to you quickly.

here is a card we did in technique class, this is called aged tiles

this is accomplished by taking a white piece of cardstock, an "aging" ink and an image that lends to being split up. Ink your individual pieces and reassemble. Very simple and adds an awsome bit of interest.

Stamp is from heartitude and spring dream

Paper is sweetwater

Brads from american crafts

here is a 6X6 card that I created using black bazzil and circle sampler only.

LARY UPDATE: we found out last night that Larry is NOT going to need surgery. When the surgeon looked him over he had some strong doubts on his having a true bonefide PDA. So we sent him down to little rock for one more diagnostic test before doing open heart surgery. We found out that Larry has a birth defect that is not correctable with surgery, but that he will be able to live a long full life he will just need to be monitored closely
