Good afternoon Folks!!

Here is a new video for you...have a good day!!

 

Final Presentation

For those of you who are interested here is the visual component which accompanied my 75 page my thesis which I presented this April as part of my MA Degree in Fashion Design...this is why I was gone so long LOL

 

I am BACK!!

Hello Folks,

I know I have been gone for a while but I was finishing up my MA thesis! I also needed every spare minute to complete my clothing collection that accompanied my written work.

I am working on a video of my completed garments and a video of my exhibit in Boston.I am also gearing up to get back into my craft room again! Right now it has been taken over by my sewing paraphernalia but no worries it's under there :-) I also have some blog maintenance to do...good thing I have the summer off

Be on the look out this week cause I'm back...

Dog Envelope Book

Good Evening Folks

I finally got my videos loaded...whew!!

The Internet was giving me lots of trouble today.

During my class the other night I briefly showed my new envelope book, well here it is up close...

 

Enjoy!!!

Sooooo Cute!!

I have a video to share using my new Smooches Stamps

Enjoy!!

 

Back in my craft room

Good afternoon folks

I have been back in my craft room again...sweet!!

I found a pile of stamps (under the rubble) that I had not cracked open yet...what stamps not used yet!!  Let's get those puppies inked up!!!

I started with my Just Rite stamps

These are 4x4 size cards that I decided will be part of a class coming up at Wholly Scrap! in a few weeks.  I made two other cards that will be part of the class but I will share those later :-)

You can not see it very well but I layered the images!  I used the new distress colors by Tim and especially liked how the masculine card finished up!  This one goes to my hubby...our 26th anniversary is in a few days!

Have a great day!!

Be sure to check back I have a new video coming up on a new book I designed...it is in the works I am waiting for it to upload.

Thanks for stopping by

Peace!!! Happy New Year!!

 

 

 

I am back!!

Hello Folks

Wow!! I have been MIA for quite a while.

Well I am on break until Late January so I will have a chance to catch up.

This Graduate Degree is a rewarding but a LOT of work!!!

I have not been in my craft room working with paper for sometime, just fabrics LOL

So I thought I would share some of the visual work I turned in during this semester.  There was a lot of written work also but I will not bore you with that LOL

First the garment I made and then sketches.  You'll see the first sketch is the garment below.  The rest of the sketches will be developed into garments by the end of April...whew!!



I'll be back with crafting projects soon...I promise!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone :-)

Technique Tuesday Video

Good Evening Folks

I made another Video for Technique Tuesday at Wholly Scrap!

I made a decorative box with tags from Graphic 45's Steampunk Paper a while ago and have been asked how I made the box to hold the tags so here you go...

 

I hope you enjoy it...I will be making some tags to go in the box in my next video!!

Check out Wholly Scrap!

for all the supplies to make this box and more!

Have a Great Day!!

Christmas Shadow Box

Good Evening Folks

Dealing with a migraine today :-(

Halloween Card

Good Morning Folks

I know it has been a while since I posted but I have been soooo busy with school!

So Here is my latest card.  I could not resist using one of the new Just Rite Halloween Stamps!!  And my Copics have also been a little lonely lately too LOL!

I was bored with my usual 5x7 card base so I explored a bit and found this exciting pop up card base on Splitcoaststampers.

I love the way it folds out!  I used Black and Sour Apple card stock, trim, ribbon, Tim Holtz metal number tag, and my Just Rite Stamps.

Here are the Copics I used to color it in

(If you click on any photo it will pop up larger)

Here is a close up of the coloring

For instructions AND a video on how to make this card click here

Have FUN and I hope you have a great day!!

All the product to make this card can be found at
