Month: September 2011

It’s new release day over at www.shopellesstudio.com – I’m swooning. LOVING the new seasonal stuff, just bought a bunch as bonus goodies for my upcoming classes. Oh but it gets better – Elle emailed me and asked if I wanted to give away one of the BEAUTIFUL www.shopellesstudio.com new project kits (just released!!) TO ONE OF YOU!! Here’s the info:

It’s a BIG day over at Elle’s Studio! Along with the launch of all our Halloween, Christmas and Winter items, we’ve also released our second limited edition, Forever Grateful Project Kit! Now you can capture those moments you’re most grateful for in 7Gypsies newest photo tray along with buttons, embellishments and more from popular manufactures, and your limited edition Elle’s Studio tags that were made just for this kit!

Some of the Elle’s Studio tags where even made to fit directly into the tray. And don’t forget, the limited edition Elle’s Studio tags will never be sold or printed again – once this kit is sold out, they are gone. The kit also comes with optional instructions so you can make it just like our Project Kit Coordinator, Jenni Hufford, did. You’ll be able to sit down with a cup of coffee or tea – all you need to grab is your photos, scissors and glue. We’ve provided the rest! Bonus: Save the left over exclusive Elle’s Studio Tags to use on your other layouts, cards and more!

Also, with the holidays right around the corner, this would make the perfect gift for moms and dads or grandparents….

They will have posts with their design team up (and heck – they always have good stuff posting) this week on their blog: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/

Here’s a link to the store – where you’ll also find the much swoon-worthy seasonal goodies. I’m giddy for the pennants! Link to store: http://www.shopellesstudio.com/store/index.php?cPath=1

Ok, so want to win the kit shown above?!?!? Just leave a comment here. I’ll draw a winner next Monday!!

Congrats JENA BAKER!! You’ve won! check your email…

Football & crafting here. Enjoy.

When I say it took the entire day, I mean that for the last 24hrs all time not spent with girls, sleeping, or out of house has been to make this video for my upcoming class. Know what? I love it more than the original and this one is uploading as we speak, so please… knock on wood that there are no further technical difficulties. Here’s a peek…

Here’s the link.

Hoping students enjoy the format + all the info and fresh new projects! No time to think about that too much though…

Now back to hoping technology continues to play nice, and make the PDF file for class – because you KNOW my contribution has to include plenty of images + tips!!

Happy Crafting this weekend everyone – I will be most definitely spending time away from this computer!!

PS: don’t miss the GIVE AWAY for a spot in this amazing event in the post below…

I’m not fussing over this now, but a few things happened with my lovely technology and bottom line is the beautiful 32minute class video I created for True Scrap is lost. OH – I have the video segments, the images, and of course my finished projects… but the finished video itself was ruined/destroyed/lost in a fit of temper by my beloved iPhone + computer.

*deep breath*

the “not enough room to export” is not the problem FYI – it’s the thing that led me down a road of no return. Not gonna focus on the messed up part. Just going to focus on seeing if indeed I can use this basic movie maker software that apparently I have (and just discovered last night in fit of “I hate technology this is so messed up!” rage) – and if it works, well, expect more fancy pants font work and such from me. If it doesn’t work? Not the end of the world. I’ll just have to re-do my class video.

Did I miss my calling to Hollywood?

Nah. But I am SO making lemonade outta  these lemons, actually maybe more like a lemon tart… yes… a sweet butter filled dessert of some kind because – oh yes – I am going to give one of you a seat at Spawn of True Scrap!!!

Just leave a comment here to be entered. Winner to be drawn on 9/20 – good luck!!!

Congrats to Jenny McGee!!! Your comment # was the lucky one drawn and you win! I have emailed you directly about your prize…

Just a few random things rocking my crafty world today…

These pennants from Elle’s Studio. Was looking for something to work with my girl’s LIME GREEN soccer uniform, oh hello. I happened to have these and strung them up on my page. LOVE! Might have to buy more.

Webster’s Pages is here! Loving the new products, and can’t wait to try out these Christmas cameos. I think they’d be perfect for ornaments, gift tags, cards, or layouts. Simon Says Stamp has them in stock now, and I’ve seen them at Scrapbook.com and elsewhere too. You can buy them both as assortment or a package of just one of the designs. Love that!

Have you seen this? Tim Holtz + Ranger are releasing a set of 3 limited edition distress inks. *swoon* awesome colors – I’m totally into all of them and I can not wait to get mine!! You can set up a pre-order from Simon Says Stamp (link).

Speaking of Tim, I’m LOVING the little leaf die cuts I just got. [simonsaysstamp.com link   | scrapbook.com link ]  I’ve been cutting grunge paper with them and just having a great time making fall leaves for all kinds of things. I bet they’ll be cool with the fall ink pads…

  

and just in… Echo Park Christmas!! Seriously can not wait to play with this stuff. The brads, the papers… so cute. [ simonsaysstamp.com link   ] 

What’s rocking your world these days?
