Stampaway with Tim Holtz!

I got to meet Tim Holtz today at the Stampaway Convention in Cincinnati!! What a great time! He is amazing. He so sincerely appreciates his "fans". He addressed every single one of us standing there answering questions, taking pictures, and signing merchandise. He definitely has a people personality. And he's so funny! Great, great time!! Can't wait til next year! Plus, I actually learned a lot of new things today. Thanks to my two scrappin friends, Becky and Marty for going.  Thanks Tim for hanging out!

HAPPY MAIL!! from Esther......

You all know her as Esthercraft on Youtube. I had asked her awhile back if she would make me a dressform like the one she made in her Le Romantique album. (Check the mini out on Youtube....Gorgeous! http://youtu.be/pWFS40bGMXY) She graciously agreed. We decided to swap materials. I sent her a few paper pads and a few other goodies, and what I got in return was UNBELIEVABLE!! Esther has such a huge heart. I was very blessed by her generosity.

Make sure you go to her youtube channel esthercraft and check out her amazing work. She is a very talented crafter.

Coral Couture Mini Album

This is a mini I made for a co-worker to give as a bridal shower gift. The paper is the DCWV Coral Couture. Beautiful papers! I also used the cut-outs from the Le Romantique line from Graphic 45.

Altered Journal

This is an altered journal I made for myself. I was inspired by watching tangiebaxter on youtube. This was so much fun to do. Now I just have to journal in it!



Used various flowers......Butterfly Garden pattern paper

                                               

The shoe is from my Scrappy friend Marty.  Love the shoe!



 

My Scrapping friend Marty made me this beautiful card. I just used it as a pocket.

Luminaries

These are 2 luminaria bags I decorated in memory of my Mom for the Wayne County, Indiana Relay for Life I participated in recently. Wonderful event!

6x6 page for Mini

This page was created for a 6x6 mini album page swap I am participating in with a few of my friends. The theme was Steampunk.  This was my first attempt at Steampunk. Not sure I actually pulled off the Steampunk theme, but I like it anyway. It was alot of fun to do. I found out that I need to go shopping! I don't really have much by way of steampunk. Oh well, I guess I will have to make a haul run. LOL

I did draw alot of my inspiration from jennyashley, Racho113, liveartnow, and elbauldexoxo on Youtube.
