Christmas Season

The Christmas Season is rapidly approaching and now is a great time to start making cards for friends and family, of course this is what I tell myself EVERY year, maybe this year I will actually send a handmade card. The card to the left will be made in my Christmas card worshop at Funkie Munkie Scraps on December 5th. I hope you can join me and several other avid card makers for a fun afternoon of Christmas card making.

New card featuring Stampers Anonymous stamps from the Tim Holtz collection

I made this vintage card with stamps from Tim Holtz collection sold by Stampers Anonymous. I went to the Winston-Salem stamp convention last weekend and was fascincated with the techniques demonstrated at the Stampers Anonymous booth. When I came home I logged onto Tim Holtz's website and there was more information on what I saw demoed at the convention. He has an awesome set of videos (www.timholtz.com) that are very informative. I hope you enjoy the eye candy.

Updated my photo

I updated my photo but of course now I think I should change it back. I took the headshot myself with my Iphone and THOUGHT I liked it. I will leave it up for a while until I change my mind again. I will have to get my photographer buddy to take a head shot of me in the very near future.

Have had a very busy week at work, lots of sick people and lots of maintenance meds handed out. Have not stamped much, but I did make it into my room to rearrange some of my stuff. Completed a few tasks , such as consolidating all of my inks into drawers and finding a home for my Stickles and finally discovering I had lots of colors of liquid pearls, so now I don't need to buy any. Hubby is grateful for that one. I scanned some cards into Paperport for later uploading and most importantly looked at the new Stampin Up catalog. Saw a lot of new things I would like to purchase but do I need another stamp?? Of course I do!! I repeat, I am hopelessly addicted.

I found some border stamp sets at Wally-world in the craft section, new release by Stampology. Very good price, $4.00, had to have them all. Would you say I need a 12 step program????

Upcoming Events

I would like to announce a new weekly happening at Funkie Munkie Scraps. I will be doing a weekly make and take on Wednesdays. I will be using supplies that are available at FMS. All you need to do is bring your own adhesive and scissors. This will start on 7/15. I am excited about doing this because I have not been stamping lately and this will get me going again. I feel the need to be creative. Along with the weekly make and take I will also be doing a couple of classes this month. Look for a class featuring a Hero Arts stamp set and a 10 cards for 10 dollars coming very soon. Due to the amount of prep time, I do require a minimum of 5 people for the 10 for 10 and a minimum for 4 for the Hero Arts classes.

I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th. I know we did. We celebrated with friends and of course ate delicious barbecue.
