Meeting Heidi Swapp

Hanging out with Heidi Swapp this weekend! I took a couple of classes over at Scrapbook Island in San Jose this weekend with Heidi Swapp and it was sooo much fun! She is awesome, charming, and super cool!!! My day started out loading up with some Starbucks Coffee and heading out to San Jose. I took both of her classes Saturday and I even got some one on one time with Heidi you guys! Super exciting!!!


The classes were filled with many techniques and a bunch of cool new products… Definitely worth going ;-) She’s got clever thoughts and is so knowledgeable. It was such a treat and I had a wonderful time there. I want to mention that I met up with my fabulous friend Beverly from The Piece By Piece at the class and it made it that much more fun she is talented and very funny! Thanks girl!

Configurations Box "Going Green"

Hi Everyone,
So I came up with this idea after I went shopping the other day. I had all of these cute little cardboard boxes left and I was about to put them in my recycle bin when I thought, I should make something with them! I had a set of Tim Holtz Configurations box set that I gave away and hadn’t gotten around to “buying” another set for myself. So I decided to take some of my leftover trinkets, charms, flowers etc and put them to good use. We all have that little dish in our studios just overflowing with little cuties waiting to be used up so why not “Go Green” with it? Let’s recycle and start using our stuff up Ladies! Here are some of the things I used…
Lindy’s Stamp Gang Stain in Cajun Carnelian Red and Glory of the Seas Gold spray
I Am Roses
Lil’ Davis trinkets
7 Gypsies
Recollections
Americana Paints
Tim Holtz gears and stamps
MFT Rolled Flower Die
Misc. pins flowers and beads
Thanks for stopping by
