Hi Y’all!!!

I don’t know why but I’m channeling my inner southerner today!!!  I used to live in Texas lifetimes ago so I guess that counts, huh?

I have got two things to tell you about tonight. 

  1. First of all, Patti has taken the final markdowns in the Paper Maniac store at 50% off and this weekend you can get an extra 10% off with the code FINAL_PUSH.  Your final total must be at least $25.00 in merchandise but it can include some regular priced merchandise as well.  There’s still a lot of this and that here and there so go take a look!  Just click on the specials tab at the top of the screen.  She’s got some amazing new stuff in the store as well including some of the new Tim Holtz stamps!!!
  2. Do you remember when I talked about my art goals for the year 2011?  One of them is to take the She Art Workshop by Christy Tomlinson.  You only have until Sunday to register but there’s good news!  I wrote about Christy’s latest tutorial on the Charity Wings blog and she’s giving away a seat in her workshop.  Just head over to the Charity Wings blog and comment on the post for a chance to win!!!

That’s it.  I’m busy working on things for while I’m away.  I’m doing a tutorial for McMahon Five Designs using an image from next weeks release!!  Plus, there’s a new Hotspot challenge on the first.  That’s the new challenge blog from McMahon Five Designs and Studio 313

I’ve got two images ready to be made into cards for the Paper Maniac Inspiration blog while I’m away.  You’ll be seeing those on the next two Tuesdays!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Urban Flight

2-24 urban flightHi all!  I’m feeling a bit better today.  On Tuesday, I was so tired I could hardly even think!!!  I went to bed early and slept 12 hours!  Yay!!! 

I have another project using some of my favorite GCD papers—Artsy Urban from the Paper Maniac store.  I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Fanciful Flight die to layer up two of the patterns from this stack as well.  I added a sentiment from Unity Stamps June Store Kit.    I mounted the butterfly to a row of Webster’s Pages Bloomers.

That’s it for this week!  See ya’ soon!!!

Blessings,

Christine

I’m Back—Well Kinda’

I’m back from my trip to Utah, finally.  I didn’t make it home as early as I had originally planned and am now regretting it since I now only have a week to get things done to be on the road again!!!!  I have way to much to do!

Anyway, I’ll still be pretty much missing for the next couple of weeks.  I’ll have my DT posts but that’s probably about it.

So sorry and know that I miss you all.  I’ll be back in March!!!

Beautiful Muchacha



It’s release day at McMahon Five Designs again and this week will surely not disappoint.  We have so many beautiful images!!!
 
I chose to make a card with the Muchacha beauty!  I loved her at first sight and she was so much fun to color!!!  I kept the layout simple and used some paper from Graphics 45.
 
My second surgery went very well.  I can hardly even feel it.  However, I strained or did something to my back and have quite a lot of pain from that now.  It’s just been kind of a rough trip physically but we have had a great time!
