Window Watching

I just absolutely love this album. 
((This is supposed to be where I could insert a photo.  If I knew how.))
Trust me that it is spectacular and well worth the risk.
If you haven't already discovered this artist,
 I suggest you check her out. 
She makes lots intricate mini books.
Love them all!

Easter Countdown

I'm back!
And I promised I would post this for a friend.
It was supposed to be a sample at For Keeps Sake, but I chickened out on leaving it there. I liked it too much and wanted to use it.
I started with a plain paper egg carton and spray painted the heck out of it. The carton is a sponge for paint.
Then I used the We R Memory Keepers Easter collection to decorate it and adhered it all with Beacon 3 in 1 glue.
Love that glue.
I pop dotted the tag on the front and then squirted a bunch of Beacon glue in and around it to hold the grass in place.
Each little egg contains some more grass and a piece of candy.
Then I tied a ribbon around each egg and topped the bow off with a number in the countdown. Overkill, I know, but it looks cute and now I'll know when he peeks ahead!

I'm sorry MaryJune

I meant to post the Easter countdown.
I really did.
And I will.
Just not today.
But soon.

Time To Work

So today we are attempting to open For Keeps Sake for regular business hours. 

By that I mean me and Missy.

So cross your fingers!

And here is some sweet inspirations to get the creative juices flowing:

Pre Orders are Sweet!

Last week was a fabulous week in the blog world.

Wendy gave us a peek at her new releases, a little bit each day, and this is the one I fell for.


The stars remind me of the ones my SIL has in her Willow Tree nativity set. 

They make my heart smile.

And of course the phrases are all about empowerment.

That made this set a no-brainer for me.

And of course I like this one, too



It's all about the backgrounds with this one, baby.

Well, no sooner than I decided I had to ask Timi and Nancy to get these for me,
they announced their Pre-Order Deal.

Put a $10 down payment on the new sets you like from Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi and when they come in, you'll get those sets for 25% off retail. 

I like deals.

And I bet you do too.

So call For Keeps Sake and reserve a few sets for yourself.  But do it by this Friday.

New Silhouette

So I finally did what many of you have been asking me to do.
No, it's not blog more.
But I have been doing that!
Sort of.
Anyway, what I have done is design a class around using the Silhouette die cutting machine.
In this class we will go over all of the basic functions the latest software will do.
And let me tell you, it is a lot!
I just love all of the new ways I can create with the Silhouette.
My imagination is the limit.
But this class is different than the other beginning class I have taught.
For one thing, it's designed around a new program--Silhouette Studio.
For another thing, we will be cutting images out in class.
And we will be using the print and cut option in class.
That means you get to learn more.

Class is at For Keeps Sake on Jan 29 from 1-3 and is only $20. 
Please call 314-487-8131 to sign up.
You will need to bring your Silhouette machine and tools, a laptop with the latest Silhouette software already loaded onto it, detail scissors and adhesive.
