BG sneak peeks and NSD...

Hey there!!
What a busy week! I've been working on so many projects and getting ready for National Scrapbook Day! We are celebrating over at Bad Girls with the most amazing challenges and classes. The girls are so stinkin talented-I am so excited for all of the fun stuff they have planned. Here is a link to the forum to see all of the talk about whats going on that day--May 2nd! This will definitely get your mojo goin':

And we are headed for a big reveal night-the May kit is amazing! Wendy always puts together the best kits! When I first saw it-I wasn't sure what direction it would take me in. But it took on a life of it's own. I created some of my most favorite layouts with it...But in the meantime-I have some sneak peeks for you!

Speaking of reveal night--it's tonight!!!!! Come on over to the BG forum and join us at 9:00pst for the party. There are prizes, games and sometimes a reveal before the reveal-wink!

We are also doing a celeb chat with Janelle Smith from 7 Gypsies on May 5th @ 11am pst--what a great chance to chat with a Gypsie and find out where her Gypsy-ness comes from!

Hope to see you there!

Be back soon with my LO's!

I just came back from the Dead..

Haha!! I just got back from Buffalo where Pete and I saw the Grateful Dead in concert!

My husband is a big Dead Head and he was so excited to see them on tour. I love to go and not only listen to the music, but also to people watch...Man-it doesn't get anymore entertaining than that! I was engulfed in a sea of Tye Dyes, dreads and Patchouli...among other things...:P Tent city was fun to walk through. It has a culture that is all it's own.

t was a fabulous show! They played Bobby McGee (cool surprise) and of course-Truckin' among other favorite Dead tunes..

Then I visited Buffalo Stamps and Stuff on our way out of town to drop off my class album that I am teaching there on May 28th. It was great to see Sharon and Mark-they are the sweetest people of all time! And I also went to say Happy Birthday to my dear friend Jo--but she took the day off for her Birthday..sorry I missed you sweets! Hope you had a fabulous day! This card is for you!!

I have been bust playing with my Prima goodies! I am loving this line by Adrienne Looman. It's her Rebellious Line for Prima! Perfect for older kids, teens or any layout you want to be bold and fun! I made this little owl card using the new stamp kit and rub-ons and bling.And here she is!! Miss Holly-looking fabulous as always! I stole this photo from her and decided this is the perfect backdrop for it! Love her hat by the way! I used swirls, large page Pebble and small too, rub-ons, flowers and felt letters. Oh and black gems--they are fun to sprinkle around a page!

Thats all for today! I'll be back soon for sure!

Prima And Tattered Angels!!

Hey everyone!!
I hope you had a great weekend!! The weather here was fabulous (for this time of year anyway). I got out and cleaned up part of my garden yesterday-it felt great to work outside with the sun shining on my face...ahh...can't wait for Summer!

Today-I am featured on the Prima Blog using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and of course--Prima goodies. The two are a match made in heaven! I hope you've had the chance to try out some Glimmer Mist...this stuff is so amazing. You can layer colors, alter anything, use with masks, ...the list goes on. I am slowly collecting a variety of colors for my stash. I am addicted. Yes--indeed, I am.
Here are my creations for the day.
I created two cards using Prima paper, old book paper and Glimmer Chips-Butterflies. I love those B-flies! I layered color upon color. I experimented with many colors and let them dry for a bit. Then I used a few on these projects.

The first card-I used Gold, Cranberry Zing, Tattered Rose and Walnut Gold.
This card I used Riptide, Gold, Coffee and Walnut Gold. This is is a Mother's Day card....

And then-I sprayed onto Kraft Packaging that Prima makes for their paintables.

Here I used Cranberry Zing, Scarlet, Golden Terracotta, Lime Twist and Lemon. Then went over the whole thing with Gold. I sprayed over flowers for a masking effect. I used a couple of Butterflies I had sprayed earlier-they are sprayed with Riptide, Walnut Gold and Gold.

Check out the Prima Blog-this is the fabulous give away-they are taking sign-ups today!!!

Thats it for today! I will be back with more projects and fun ideas!
