Oh man, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. We’ve had a busy couple of weeks and have made some progress on our house project. Tomorrow I hope to paint my studio! WAHOOOO! Brent dug out some of my crafting stuff from the guest room and we started putting the family room back together. Hopefully on Sunday (a break from construction) I will have a few minutes to sit down and create something. I have a neat tutorial that I…
It’s been a super long day (as usual). I worked today and then came home and went swimming…. not in MY pool (cuz it’s still filtering and sanitizing) but the brand spankin’ new Payson City Pool! It’s an AWESOME pool complex with a lap pool, kiddie – zero entry pool with kiddie slides and games, spill buckets, water fountains, 2 speed slides, a lazy river, bubble couch and vortex pool (whirlpool). We’ve been anxiously awaiting the completion of this pool…
Hi Friends! I have been AWOL for a while now and I am sooo sorry! We’ve been super busy with the house, Brent’s city council duties, my church responsibilities, our regular day jobs (extra days for me this week), and various other projects around here and I haven’t had time nor the energy to blog or create. Yesterday I cleaned out my laundry room and started some big bags of clothing for our local Women’s Shelter, Goodwill, and such, AND…
So while we are on the topic of organization, I thought I might share how I organize my digital stash (digital scrapbooking supplies AND digital photos AND digital layouts, etc). Last year several girls in my Photoshop class recommended the program ACDSee to me for helping me organize my digital stash. At first I was a bit overwhelmed, but then I found some cool online sources for help and now I love using ACDSee to organize my loot. Basically you…

Here’s Sketch Challenge {009} for you! Use some patterned paper, a horizontal element or two, TWO stamps only (sentiment and something else) and some dimensional pop dots or something to give dimension to your art, oh and don’t forget… add something sparkly! Feel free to post a link to your art here on the blog! We’d all love to see what you come up with! IMPORTANT TIP for Posting URL’s: Blogger tends to cut off long URL’s. Here’s a nice…
That’s Ewe as in Ewe, not “ewwwww”… LOL! 😛 Here’s my most recent contribution as guest designer for Sweet n Sassy Stamps…. This is a fun pop up card that I made using Sweet n’ Sassy’s “Adoption Day” & “Funny Farm” stamp sets. I love these little sheep! If I had some “puffy stuff” to paint on them, they’d be even more darling! Every family has an “oddball” in their family or has welcomed a new person such as an…
Well, it’s 8:30 pm and I still feel like crud…. It’s been a while since I’ve done a RAK here… so let’s spice things up a bit. I have an extra little {duplicate} book that I made while making the tutorial. I will leave it without photos and send it to a lucky winner! Leave me a comment on this post with a funny {clean, G-rated} joke and I will draw a random name {on Friday} to win the prize!
Hey friends! I woke up sick as a dog this morning and just feel like lying around sleeping all day, but I wanted to share this fun project with you. I survived my birthday on Sunday… woo hooo .. 34 years young! The cute pink mat you see under the project was one of my bday presents from my sweetheart! (I’ll share the other later in the week when I get the pics off my camera.) I am a guest…
UPDATED: February 17th, 2008 We interrupt this post for an important message: I’m gonna be PUBLISHED…. well.. at least this TECHNIQUE will be! I submitted the idea to Pat Huntoon, owner and publisher of the Technique Junkies Newsletter, and she wants to use it. The catch is, I had to take this tutorial down permanently. Soooooo, if you want the instructions for this tutorial, head on over to TechniqueJunkies.com and pick up a subscription to this FABULOUS newsletter! I guarantee…
