Twilight Inspired Projects

Since I posted a link to my blog on the Tattered Angels Educator site today about my Tattered Angels/Twilight inspired projects I thought I would move the pics up so it's easier for you to see the projects since I made some of them a while ago. Not that I don't want you to read my other posts, I just know it drives me crazy hunting for stuff on a blog. In fact, I would love it if you would browse around, and please, leave comments! If you want detailed instructions though, you will need to scroll down for the complete post. I also included more pics of the Forever Album class in my gallery at left. I will be teaching the Forever Album at Collective Journey in Redlands, CA this Sunday the 14th from 1:00-5:00. Please call the store at 909-793-2200 for details.

Oops, I forgot to post this!











I made a couple of projects for Scrapbooks 'N Stickers (www.scrapbooksnstickers.com)using Tattered Angels Glimmer kits and I took them with me to my class at Ever After. Some of you wanted to see pictures of them, and I totally forgot to post them, so here they are. The first one was made using the Timeless Romance Glimmer Kit (love it!), and the second one was made using the Baby Boy Glimmer Kit.
For the Timeless Romance project I added Prima say it in studs flower centers, Say it in Pearls swirl, and Prima white festive flowers. For the Baby boy kit, I added an extra package of Pocket Watch framed fonts,and lots of buttons. I just posted a few pics on here, if you want to see the photos of the entire albums go to my gallery below left. Thanks for visiting!

ECD Demo at Scrapping Lounge


I had a sparlkly good time yesterday at the Scrapping Lounge in Claremont, CA. This store is so cool! It's decked out in 50's style, even the music! We had a great time with the Elizabeth Craft Glitter and peel off stickers. The scissors from ELC were a huge hit. They are so small, and easy to use. There was quite a group that came out for Scrapping Lounge's open house in spite of the crazy rain. Holy Cow, was there a lot of awesome products in this store, and the owner Deb, was really great. Did you know in her free time (haha) she even makes jewelry? Check out their website at www.scrappinglounge.com
I will be posting pics of some new classes I'm designing using the ECD products, so stay tuned.

Stop and Smell the Roses


The other day my youngest daughter Hannah came home from school, and immediately asked me for a vase. I was right in the middle of prepping for a class, so I said she needed to wait for mommy to finish what she was doing, because the vase is up high. Well, she took it upon herself to find something to use for a vase, and she presented me with this beautiful rose in an apple sauce jar. She said "I found this rose on the sidewalk on the way home from school, and I brought it home for you Mommy. That rose could not have been more beautiful if it had been in a crystal vase, than it was in that applesauce jar. She took the time to not only think of me, but to find something to put it in. Moments like this just really make you stop and think about the little things that we tend to push aside when we are working, and to appreciate them when they come to you. Thanks Hannah Bear.

CHA Preview Party and Forever Album class at Ever After

Last Saturday I got to attend the CHA Preview Party at Ever After Scrapbooks in Vista, CA. What fun we had. Camille, the owner really knows how to throw a party. She showed some of the goodies that she bought at CHA for the store, had a trivia contest, raffle, we got to stand up and speak about the company we represent, demos, and treats!











Right after the party we went right into my Forever Album class. Oh, this group! They were so much fun. I have to tell you, I was a bit nervous at first. This gentleman shows up in the classroom with his flowered scrappy tote, and says "I'm here for the Fallen Angels class. Okayyyy... Turns out he was there with his wife and he was making the album too for his daughter, awwww, how sweet. One of the attendees even brought a special guest. That's right, she brought Edward! Well, a facimile of Edward, but good enough! Her grand daughter gave him to her for Christmas. Hmmm, who wouldn't like to find Edward under their Christmas tree on Christmas morning? We glimmered, and laughed, and had a fantastic time.
