Congratulations Scrapbook Blvd!

Scrapbook Blvd. in Victorville, CA aka my home store, my home away from home, was named Tattered Angels store of the month, WhooHoo! This just makes me so happy. If you haven't been to the Blvd, you must go! We (I say we because I work there) have a great selection of Glimmer Mist colors for your glimmering pleasure. All of us Boulevard girls are delighted to give you a demo of the mist and screens, and we have samples, and (here comes the shameless plug) I have glimmer mist classes there regularly. I can still remember the day (here we go with a trip down memory blvd.) Vesta came back from a show where she had been introduced to Glimmer Mist. Knowing my love of all things sparkly, she regaled me with tales of this wonderful new medium, that SPARKLES! I waited in anticipation for this yummy new thing to show up in the store, where is that UPS man! Then It came. Oh happy, happy day. It WAS as wonderful as Vesta said. Oh, I can't wait to play with this stuff! Then came the collecting phase. I have to have every color! We gained more than a few fellow collectors in addition to me(I'm talking to you Lisa, Ruby, Jackie, Ashley, Kim, Gabrielle, and many others, but since turning 40 I have become senile and can't currently come up with your names, but I have a list!). Then came the we must use this on everything phase, which I am still in and have no plans to change that. I'm proud to be an employee of Scrapbook Blvd. as well as a Tattered Angels designer, and endorsed educator(another shameless plug). If you haven't tried Glimmer Mist yet, walk, no, RUN to your nearest Scrapbook store and get some! Also, check out the Tattered Angels site at www.mytatteredangels.com for some great ideas and tips on how to use it. You will be inspired, I promise!

Class at Pages of Tyme

On Saturday Nov 1 I taught the Fall Nature Glimmer Mist book at Pages of Tyme in Big Bear. These ladies were great! This store is so gorgeous! We had a great time. There is also a quilt store within the scrapbook store, talk about heaven! I don't quilt but I love fabric. Some of the ladies taking the class even found fabric to tear into strips and add to the binding of their books. If you haven't been to the store since they moved into their new location(next door to original location) you really must go see it. I'll be back at Pages of Tyme November 22 for my
Frosty Memories Glimmer Mist book. They have a fabulous selection of Glimmer Mist colors, and accessories.

Halloween

I love Halloween! This year was a little different for our family. David and I always take the kids together to trick or treat. This year David had to work, my oldest daughter had to work at the football game. She is too old for trick or treating, but she wanted to come with us anyway. Hardly anyone was giving out candy this year so we had to really trek for the kids to get about a quarter of a bag of candy (they were happy with that though). When we got home my two little ones went to a Halloween party, and I was left home alone to watch scary movies by myself, Waaa! It makes me sad that the kids are getting older and our traditions have to change to accomodate this. Anyway, the girls looked great in their costumes and had a lot of fun, and that is whats important.

Happy Halloween!

I love, love, love, Halloween! In honor of today I created a Glimmer Mist Halloween Layout, but I don't have time today to put it on here, so you have to check it out at www.mytatteredangels.com I posted it to the blog. I will have lots of pics to share Monday, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween! Keep your eyes peeled, cause I am going to be adding lots of class dates and new classes soon!

Just a Reminder...

Just a reminder...
If you want to sign up for my Fall Nature Glimmer Mist book at Pages of Tyme in Big Bear, you should hurry, I think it's almost full. Class is scheduled for November 1 - next Saturday! Also, be sure to go to Tattered Angels web site at mytatteredangels.com to see their beautiful new site and to enter to win their giveaway. Here's a hint - it's a yummy treat, no trickin'. Oh, yeah, on my previous blog entry I posted pictures of the Acrylic Halloween book that I made. When I scanned in the pictures I forgot to do it from back page to front so the last picture you see is actually the front cover. Whoops, my bad. I keep forgetting to scan the last page first. Have a great weekend everyone!

Halloween Acrylic Album

I made this little Halloween book with Acrylic from Kits 2 Remember, and papers from Teresa Collins. I used thick acrylic for the covers and thin acrylic for the pages. I adhered the paper to the acrylic with glossy accents. On the pages with the decorative edges, I adhered the paper, then trimmed around the edges of the acrylic using the decorative edge as a guide, leaving about a 1/16" edge of acrylic showing. I inked the edges with black alcohol ink, but you could use staz-on ink as well. The spider web design on the front and back covers is gift wrap cellophane adhered to the inside of the front and back covers with glossy accents.

Halloween Tag Swags

These are the "Tag Swags I made for Halloween. If you would like to purchase one, contact me at luliscraps@yahoo.com. I also make them for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthday, Easter, and 4th of July. I have 4 styles of Halloween, and next week I will have my Thanksgiving ones done. They are $25.00 each, plus shipping if necessary.
