Sad News.....;-(


Good morning Crafty Friends!  I'm back for a minute. Literally! It's been a busy year and summer.  Last year a good friend of mine convinced me to go back to school and finish what I started a few years back.  So I did!  This on top of working and vacations and life in general has been made things a little crazy at home. Good crazy...but crazy nonetheless.  I have decided to take a few months off from stamping. 

I love crafting, I love the crafting friends that I have met in the last 15 years! Yes...15 years!! Crazy right?  I have met friends that I think I will be friends with for life.  Some are who I vent to when life gets crazy or somebody annoys the living heck out of me.  I don't even need to name them, they know who they are!

I have officially stepped down from my last design team....for now.

 8 years ago when I made the step into the "Copic" world I was so eager to get on a design team. I started out small and with challenge blogs, etc.  Then I got picked up by Magnolia-licious and boy did I think I hit the big time then! From that moment, I have literally been non-stop and have been on so many of the BEST design teams (IMO) around! I am so grateful for everything that I got out of designing from supplies to friendships.


My last 2 design teams were the hardest to leave. All them were, but these 2 were special to me!  One of the first stamping companies on my radar 8 years ago was Stamping Bella. I just loved those Bella Babes and Linda Heavens work just drew me in.  It was a huge decision for me to step down from being a Bella-Babe. I'm still not sure it was the right decision, but I hope to be back in a few months! Fingers crossed they will still want me!! ;-)

The other company I am taking a break from is extra- special to me!  SugarPea Designs will always be special. Wendy and I met so long ago and we clicked right away!  When she started up her company I was so happy for her and the designs are awesome and I love having some input here and there.  She got me out of my "Copic" comfort zone too! I actually think I started being a better "Stampy- stamper" in the past year too. You know those non-colored images that freak me the hell out!  My "Break" from Sugarpea was the little push I need, I was sad at first, but it was a good thing.

Having said all of that....I'm not saying I am leaving forever, but what I am saying is...I need a break! I need a couple of months of NO deadlines. 

So, I hope you don't delete me out of your stamping world and I do hope when I come back, which I will....you welcome me back with open arms!  Who knows, I may still do a little stamping in the meantime. I believe I will....but it will be a no deadline card! ;)  (like the one below)  Ok, so I made this months and months ago...but I never got to post it!

Hugs and See you in a few months...maybe sooner! ;-)

Exercising...


Good morning!  Just an FYI - if you see me quiet on my blog next month, I didn't go anywhere but I am taking a short break for the month of July from Stamping Bella and because it's not a release month, I will be quiet with SugarPea too!   

I started going back to school last year and these summer classes are a wee bit stressful! So I kindly asked my Sista Em for a short break.  Thankfully summer classes are only a couple of weeks long! So you won't see me much in July, but promise to be back in August!  

Today I am sharing  "Sweaty Chicks" from Stamping Bella. This is something I do not do enough, I "resemble" that sentiment though!






Thanks for stopping by and I think I have 1 or 2 more post before I go "quiet" for a month!  Hugs

Make A Wish

Good morning and welcome to Day 4 of SugarPea Designs Release Week!

 


For todays card I brought out the water colors.  First I created a simple  background using Kuratake WaterColors.  Then I stamped the Birthday Cake Layers with Tim Holtz distress inks and sprayed them with a little water using a mini mister and stamped them onto the water color paper. That's what gives it the wonky lines. If you were to stamp these images onto regular paper and not add the water, you would get a nice crisp line! But that wasn't what I was going for!
