Valentine's Printers Tray



Took another class with Donna who is so much fun and we made a Valentine's Printers tray. I am signing up already for the Easter one on April 7. Anyway, I know I'm behind but here it is.
My fave is the little girl on the bingo card. I think that the ribbon really makes her stand out from all the red and pink on the tray.
Kim and I took Donna's class based on the Tim Holtz 12 Days of Christmas tags. They are beeyoutiful. I have yet to take photos but am going to try and do better with my little blog.

Christmas Printer's Tray




It has been a looooong while since my last posting. Apologies to my hundreds of followers! Anyway, took a class this past Sunday at Inspiration Station in Stafford Springs, CT. My sister went with me. Donna taught the class. I don't know her last name but this is the third class I have taken with Donna and I just love her style. She is patient, organized, creative and enthusiastic. So, a couple of photos of the latest work of art. I have already hung it up in the dining room. My first decoration of the Christmas season.

Rock and Shock





This weekend in Worcester, MA, is the annual Rock and Shock Convention where both horror movie and heavy metal aficionados get together to create mayhem (kidding!). My husband has a table that he shares with Mark M. They sell various items and Mark draws zombie portraits of people for a very reasonable price. Michael is selling black wrist bands with I Hate People on them. I made some skull earrings and GF Kim made the coolest cards. Don't you especially love the 13 card? She made a whole series of them and each one is cooler than the next. Here is a shot of the display on a tree from Ikea.


That is Juliet sitting on the window ledge.

new addiction

My latest addiction is animoto. Free, 30 second videos. My sister will kill me as I have a shot of her eating pho (soup). I am considering the paying version because I can make longer videos and include actual video clips.

Halloween Cards


Just loved this class! Donna is patient and organized and extremely creative. We blended alcohol inks and then heat set them. Then we stamped on the bird and then glittered. Messy but fun! We masked the cat stamp after embossing it so the lamp looks like it is glowing. I love that effect. I also really like the look that embossing gives to pretty much anything.


I bought the spooky bird stamp but the cat with the lamppost is on order. That gives me another excuse to drive back down to Stafford Springs and visit Inspiration Station.


Donna is teaching the Xmas printer's tray on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I think that I will sign up for that one too.
