Foxie's Cheer Up card

Dear friend, Foxie, just had knee replacement surgery and is in a great deal of pain....so I made her a card to cheer her up....she has a connection with France so I thought this would be appropriate...

Slight change in back of All Things Tim Calendar

I had to do 14 of these...the addition is Lynn & Jayne's names because they helped me with this project...I have restricted use of my left arm so stamping is a challenge...yeah for friends who helped make this happen for me!

All Things Tim 2010 Calendar page

Whoo-hoo...my February pages are completed for the All Things Time 2010 Calendar....I had to make 14 February pages for the swap...here are the results...the cover is done with masking tape, Adirondack Alcohol Inks and my Cricut...this was a fun and challenging project...Thank You Lynn and Jayne for helping me complete this project....

Another 6x6

Drew is out of town on business and all I have accomplished is ART!....Whoo-hoo!....he will be home tonight so this should be about the last of my adventure...

I still have to post the 2010 All Things Tim February calendar page that I created....

Lynn came over last night to do the stamping on my All Things Tim calendars and I showed her how to do the digital art...here's the result...

Altered Gypsy Round Robin - Kersten's Book

Kersten's theme is Magic....I did a Presto Chango mini card in the first section and Jack in the Beanstock Magic Beans in the second section...this was so much fun to put together....Kersten asked us to include a piece of artwork like an ATC to be sent back...now back to my 2010 Tim Holtz Calendar for All Things Tim....

Now that our house "guest" of 7 weeks has moved in with my Dad I can now get back to amusing my Muse....ah, my brother, Ralph - what can I say!!....love him but.....time for fun!

First creation using the New Tim Holtz stamps

Tim brought all of the new stamps to the Carson Convention...I have had little time to do anything creative lately because of being in California helping with a wedding and getting ready for 4 workshops/classes...I did do a "play date" with one store...we made the perpetual calendar...lots of fun but a bit tiring...

Took a few minutes out after the convention to at least stamp something with my new treasures...here is the one & only so far...love his new designs...they actually are new images and not resized images...

I am really looking forward to my up and coming workshops/classes while I am visiting Murrieta CA...not only am I getting to teach at The Stampin' Post in Old Town Temecula but Diane and I went to check out Stamping Details in Poway the other day and they booked me to do a class for them....so July 18 & 19 I'm doing The Stampin' Post and Monday July 20th Stamping Details...too much FUN!!!

Perpetual Calendar

We visited friends, Chuck & Jan, near St. Louis last weekend....Jan had a cool calendar by K & Co. (I think) in her school room...loved the concept and decide to make my own version of the perpetual calendar...here are the results...the cover has a hanging locket added on the right side...no time to take another picture because it is raining like cats and dogs here and I like to take my photos in natural light...the calendar is made to add a photo for each month if you like...and each month has a pocket that contains a removable card to make notes on...

Another Class

Last of my current projects for classes...this one will be held at Beads & Crystals plus Scrapbook in August - maybe the 22nd...I am in love with these mini books....they are approximately 4x4 in size and so much fun to make....these are just a sampling of the pages...I love that I am using my machinery - the Circut, Cuttlebug, Mat Cutter, & Xyron machines to created these...Drew's happy about that also since he has bought all of these toys for me...
