I've been playing with mixed media for some time now, but I never seem to post any of my stuff - except my glass/scrabble tile resin jewelry that is. Well, as I am preparing my next mixed media class, I thought it would be nice to actually post something so people can see what it is they will walk away with after the class. We will be working on 8x10 stretched canvas. All of them tend to look very different at the end of the class, but here is one of mine:

Supplies Used: Color Wash, Distress Stains, Crackle Paint, stencils, masks, Perfect Pearls, stamps, archival ink

I might be adding few more things to this canvas over the next few days, but this is a general idea. We will be using all of the listed supplies, we might even play with some wax, who knows. I can guarantee you one thing - no one leaves clean!!!!! LOL. Let me know if you would be interested to come and play. I will be posting other details of the class soon. I will keep classes small, only 4-6 people at the same time.

Blog ya' later,

As most of you know, I have two boys, and there is no pink anywhere in my house. I don't wear pink, and it is only on baby cards you can find pink here. This card was made after I've seen some of these dresser cards on the internet. Some of them have mirrors, some don't, some are pink, some are blue. I thought they were really cute and cased one of them. This was done last month with my club.

Supplies Used:
Paper: Whisper White (SU!), Pretty In Pink (SU!), Rose Red (SU!), Watercolouring paper (SU!)
Ink: Pretty In Pink (SU!), Basic Black (SU!), Stazon (SU!), different inks for colouring
Stamps: Baby Bundle (SU!)
Other: dimensionals (SU!), paper snips (SU!), sponge (SU!), Basic Pearls (SU!), Curly Label punch (SU!), Word Window punch (SU!), Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack (SU!), blender pen (SU!)

We have to do some more Christmas shopping for the kids on the weekend, but we're thinking of going either to Mount Baker or to Manning Park for a day with kids. We all keep hoping for the snow.


Blog ya' later,

This time around I really, really have a good excuse for not blogging. The last few months were so busy - I didn't even remember that I have a blog. OK, OK, I did remember, but honestly, truly didn't have time to create and therefore felt I shouldn't be blogging either. I am getting back into crafting now, so watch out!!

At the end of the summer break we sold our house in Kitsilano and moved to Abbotsford. I don't know if you've ever sold a house before, this was my first time and let me tell you - I don't want to do it again. The number of hours that went into getting the house ready for viewing was huge! I keep thinking how many cool things I could have made in that time! LOL. Anyway, we're in Abbotsford now and finally starting to settle in the new house. There was a lot of work being done on the house and I wasn't able to unpack as fast as I wanted to. One of the areas that had to wait was my home studio. I will take pictures of my studio and post them in the next few days.

So, no worries, my classes, clubs and craft fairs are still happening. Christmas Stamp-A-Stack was a big success. We made 20 cards (4 each of 5 designs). Here they are:











I've been spending a lot of time with my boys. It was a difficult adjustment period in the beginning, but we are all doing really well now. Here are few pictures from our annual pumpkin patch trip. We always go to Westham Island Herb Farm. It is a great place:





OK, that is it for today.
