Questions + a prize

In one week I’ll be revealing my next Big Picture Class [registration opens the end of this month] – and that’s very exciting! I’ve finished the content for it – and I hope you like it! There’s some fresh twists and surprises too…

Ah, but there’s no rest for the wicked and I’m planning + working on content for my next BPC class (as in, coming in winter!) The planning process is one I take seriously. I like to write down/sketch out all my ideas and know what I’m covering before I dig in, and wow this is going to be one big + fun proejct. So this is where my question(s) and offer of a prize comes in!

Prize: FOUR distress stickles including my FAVORITE color picket fence + three more of my faves. Goodies &  extras thrown into the goodie bag too!!

how to enter: answer one (or more) of my questions here in the comments OR via email (mflaum @ comcast. net) I will pick a winner from ALL entries on Monday. So here we go: if you were reading a guidebook to fun & funky crafting written by yours truly… Winner has been drawn – but please feel free to leave your input still if you’d like!!

> What product do you have (or want) that you’re not confident about using?

> What product or technique do you wish you knew more about?

> When I say “off the page” what kind of projects come to mind? (and/or what are you a fan of? canvas? altered art? tags?)

I appreciate the feedback so much- and I promise to tell you a bit more about all the classes & fun stuff I’m working on! For now – back to the studio to finish up some CHA projects…

CHA prep in full swing!

If you’ve been near my studio you’ll at times hear Christmas music this week. Huh? What? Well, it’s because I’m working with some very special (secret, brand new) products coming soon! Today I was THRILLED to see that it’s been peeked…

Check it out – Tim has started revealing product: http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/07/cha-product-previewsday-1.html

I’m geeked out. I mean – kraft + holidays?! You have to know this is the stuff of dreams for me!! I’m looking forward to more peeks from what he’s up to – I have NO idea! I’ve been working with all this lovely new kraft stuff and after CHA I’ll share my projects that I made for Tim’s booth… but in the meantime I’ll tell you I’ve been having a BLAST.

So much fun. It all coordinates with his previous holiday offerings too (stamps, stickers, etc)

[and so hard to keep my work a secret!]

Back to creating for me – have a lovely Wednesday!!

enjoy the long weekend…

found a photo of Becca (2 years ago) at the annual 4th of July parade… compared to this spring…

They’re already into the traditions and patriotic nature of the 4th. Desserts are red, white, and/or blue. “America” outfits must be selected. Faces want to be painted. Elizabeth loves that RED is a big part of this holiday, as it’s her favorite color.

It’s all good stuff. I’m logging off the blog to enjoy the next 3 days with them.

I have fancy jell-o to make, cupcakes to frost, and pool time to enjoy.

I’ll be back on Tuesday.
