Fun Crafty Weekend and New Class!



This past weekend I went to the opening of Art Inspired Studios and it was so much fun! I played all day long with all my friends and celebrated the OPENING of a new Scrapbook Store! I am so excited for Diana and Patty to have opened a new store! Its beautiful and well stocked! I'll be teaching classes there and my first one is Altered Jewelry and it will be on August 7th, more details to follow! It was a very creative day and I finished this project "Animal Love" which is with the Max and Whiskers line by Basic Grey and features a Maya Road Canvas covered chipboard album! This will be a class at Scrapbook Territory on July 10th, and I'll be hosting the crop that night as well! Come on down and take the class, then spend the night cropping away with us till midnight! details on sidebar and call the store at 510-559-9929 to sign up!

Monday Morning! Beautiful, Outside.. lovely day!



I had a fantastic time at the Scrapbook Territory 7 year anniversary sale and make and take day! I made these super cute cards with Adirondak inks and the new Tim Holtz Dies. I LOVE them! Thanks to everyone who came out to play and shop. It was a ton of fun! This weekend I'll be in Brentwood both days! Saturday I am attending the opening day crop of Art Inspired Studios which is a new store that I am excited about seeing and playing in. Sunday I'll be teaching at ScrapDiva two super cute projects by The Girls Paperie! This should be a fun class!
I have been enjoying the outside air with my family, we have had two snakes in the backyard, one was a rattler.. pretty cool. I was so excited when My Paper Tree House ordered flowers for their art studio! Now my flowers are in Miami.. wee hoo!
I am almost in full World Cup mode here at my house.. the Brazilian Flag is out, my T-shirts are ready and my TIVO will be filled to the brim with games games games.. I will be a little football (soccer) crazy for the next month.. so watch out! VIVA BRASIL! This is the most watched tournament in the entire world.. watch it with your kids, get them involved and make football (soccer) part of their lives.. its a great game!
