I made this TinkerBell wall hanging for Emily's room with my brand new TinkerBell cartridge. Thank you, Michael's for such an awesome sale. Woohoo!! I can't wait to do more designing with this cart - it has so much on it!

Tuesday, November 18th from 6pm-9pm, I will hold this this Stampin' Up! class here at my home in Rocklin. You will create a variety of Christmas cards and tags, and even a hanging photo ornament. I will also include envelopes for the cards. Some of these are my original designs, and some are from the various Stampin' Up! idea books. The gorgeous Christmas tag on the left was actually originally designed by Mary Pickett, and only very slightly altered by me. You can see her blog here:

If you click on this link, it will take you to the website for Croppin' Around the Clock Retreats. These are the 2 layouts that I will be teaching at the November 15th Retreat, put on by Laura Mason. I think there are only 3 spots remaining, so sign up quickly if you're thinking of going. The registration price will include a free Cricut class taught by me, and you will get to choose which one you'd like to attend. Plus, if you can't live without the other layout, you can purchase the kit from me for a drastically reduced price. Oh yeah!! This retreat is going to be awesome, and it's here in Roseville, so you don't even have to travel far. Hope to see you there!

Mmmmmmmmmm, I just LOVE fall. It's got to be my favorite time of the year - especially when the weather changes to that cool crisp air that I can't get enough of. Alright, so we're still waiting for that change to really hit, but just playing with these gorgeous fall papers was almost enough to make me think it has already happened. I'm suddenly in the mood to go to Apple Hill, eat pumpkin pie and wear long sleeves.

These wordbooks were made with Cricut Design Studio, and used George, BaseCamp and Mickey & Friends cartridges. I made these for Emily's preschool teachers. Each student's family gets a week sometime during the year when it's our turn to do something to bless our child's teachers. It's really about just giving from the heart to let them know they're appreciated. And for me, it's always creativity that pours out of my heart. I can't wait for Emily to give these to them on Friday. She really has fantastic teachers who do an incredible job. Huge thanks to all of you teachers out there. You guys rock!!!!!

Here's a sneak peek at my new loot from Stampin' Up! I'm a demonstrator for them now, and will be using lots of these supplies to design some new Cricut-based classes. Oh, I have sooooo many ideas floating around in my brain! I get to go to a retreat in Tahoe the first weekend of October where I will be digging in and getting some of these ideas out of my brain and into reality. I can't wait!!
