Had the most AMAZING weekend of crafty goodness! You haven't cropped till you have done so with Cori-Lyn and Ivy at Scrap Addicts!!!!

Fantabulous Food, fun, games, great ladies to visit with, TONS of creativity flowing the whole time, and such great products to buy.

I will post pics when I get home, but it was sooooooooooo much fun!!!!!

Scrap Addicts

Had a great first day of my crafty weekend! Made a cool make n'take, got some work done on a gift, and prepped for some art journaling on day two. Not to mention some great shopping, lots of visiting, and even won two prizes!! Pics will have to wait till I get home though as my iPad just doesn't cooperate when it comes to photos!!

Heading to the city today to get my craft on for the whole weekend!! Can't wait! Car is all packed!!!

I had the most AMAZING time last night doing a mixed media class with the phenomenal Dawn Pritchard! I was so sad when she closed her store and so jealous of all my Edmonton/St. Albert friends that were going to have the chance to learn from her when she decided to teach again!

Imagine my joy when another friend suggested we see if I could FaceTime the class and do it long distance!! It was so much fun - and so easy since I own practically everything Dawn does!!

Here are a couple pics of the layout - I love how it turned out and learned some new techniques!

If you want to learn some great techniques, give Dawn a shout - she still has spaces in the club I think!

The Inked Stamper

Almost forgot the other project I did this weekend! I had a great photo taken of me at a crop I attended back on April 18th, so I made myself a nice "frame" for it!

However, what has totally made my day are the two cool pieces of news I got! 

1. I was asked by the amazing Cori-Lyn at Scrap Addicts if I wanted to be a guest designer for them for May - obviously I said yes!!!! Check them out!! Scrap Addicts
2. I am going to be PUBLISHED again!! Just Steampunk magazine emailed me today and they are publishing at least two of my projects in their next issue!!! 

I am SO EXCITED!!!!

I had a VERY crafty weekend just past - and I wasn't even at a crop or anything! My husband was away and I was trying to keep busy and not be bored! I ended up finishing week 5 of my Donna Downey Inspiration Wednesday class, re-did week three of the same class (I loved my original but wanted to see if I could get closer to what Donna did in class - and finally got the products to do it).  I also finished a couple swaps. All in all, very productive!!

Donna Downey

Check out Donna's site, and if you like art journaling, this class is a MUST!!

As promised I did a video of my projects done for my guest designing stint with W2Scrapbooking and Shiny Objects and the April MixUrMedia kit! So here it is!!

As well, I had a friend who wanted me to do a video for making some paper flowers with the Bitty Blossoms die. So here it is!
