The new studio

A couple weeks ago I showed where I was moving my stuff to in the basement. This is me moved in:

I don't use the bottom cupboards for storage, Chuck still needed space for some of his smaller tools and honestly, if I put something behind closed doors I would forget I had it and go buy more lol..

The space still needs tweeking, always will, but it sure looks better as a scrap room than a wood shop that wasn't getting used!! I love what a little bit of paint can do to change a room!!

Catchin up...

Well my oh my where has the time gone? I had full intentions of keeping this updated but somewhere between taking the pictures and getting them uploaded I lose my focus lol. This is the layout I have planned for October 27th and November 1st. The layouts hold a 6.5 x 4.5, 3.5 x 4 and 3 - 3.5 x 5 pictures. The cost is $7 for the class and you will get to keep the remaining rub ons from the 6 x 12 sheet we will be using. There is also a bit of ribbon and bling. You can see the bling on the corners of LOVE. They are tiny things so grow your nails. Don't forget to bring your favorite adhesive to class. Ciao, Sandra

Hey Cupcake!

So I broke down and bought a cupcake stamp set since they are all the rage.

I was hoping for a larger image but this set was all Michael's had at the time. The bright pair and the muted pair are the exact same cards. The bright set was scanned and gives better details like the randon stamped backgrounds. The muted set show the true colours. It's hard to see but I used Liquid Applique for the whipped topping, heated it up and now it is nice and fluffy. Before heating I stuck in some random sparkly stuff that has been around for 100 years. The youngest son and me mudder have birthdays coming up so they'll probably get these. I have been playing around in the studio like crazy and since I never clean up before I start my next project I think I should do that now. Ciao, Sandra

Adreanna in the Summertime

These are the layouts I worked on last night. I kept tripping over the Magic Moments Scrapbooking Kit I thought I should open it up and see what was inside. I knew then that I would be swiping the pictures off Coral's facebook and putting them on these papers. Of course with a face like Adreanna's we could mat her pics on brown paper bags and they would still look awesome!!

Ciao,
Sandra

Beautiful Things

Had a chance to play with my SCHTUFF last night and worked on this card. It was inspired by a similar one by Michelle Zindorf. I think what I like most about it is I feel a wee bit like I am painting again only using inks now. The stamp set is Beautiful Things and it has quite a variety of trees, rocks branches and scenery type stamps.

Then and Now workshop

Here is the sample of the 2 page
layout we will be creating on
Saturday September 20th at 1 pm or Monday September 22nd at 7 pm. Cost is $5 and please bring your favourite adhesive. We will use Majestic Blue bulk papers. For more info please email me at canadascraps@yahoo.ca

Back to sorting that mess in the basement. Ciao
