Hi Everybody,

This is one of my latest projects...a picture frame made with a metal coaster! My grand-daughter is always my model on my projects, so you will see her frequently. She's my cutie-pie!
I am selling the coasters so you can make your very own frames. 3 for $15 plus shipping. Email me if you wish to purchase these and make your very own frame. Directions will be included too.

Thanks for looking.

Stampin' Up! Convention with Dawn

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I am leaving the Stampin' Up Convention today. For those of you who didn't know, I was lucky/blessed to have Dawn Griffith as my roommate. It was like winning the lottery and I have loved every second of it. Thanks Dawn for the great memories. Dawn had a fabulous year and won several awards as many of you already know. She is so down-to-earth and genuine. Please visit her blog and congratulate her! Here's a picture of us at Convention 2009!! Stay tuned for all my new convention ideas....

Hi everyone, Please bear with me as I make some changes to my blog site. My daughter has kindly been helping me with colors and organization. I have posted 3 new videos on You Tube, so be sure to check them out and see what I have been up to. Thank you!

Making jewelry

I'm so excited to have tried this project. I used alcohol inks to make this cool necklace. You will need Ranger Inks alcohol ink. I dropped a dab of ink onto a cotton ball and dabbed it onto the glass square (also Ranger Ink). For this project, I used three colors of ink, and let dry. I stamped an image onto colored cardstock, placed it between another clear glass square, then sealed it with the coordinating 1/4" foil. I glued a metal jewelry piece to the back using E6000 glue. Then, ran a piece of leather cording through the back. Looks super cool. Try it. :>

Stamping on Suede

Hi everyone, you will never guess what I stamped on....Suede! I wasn't sure if it could be done but the stamped image came out pretty good. To do this, I misted the right side of the suede, placed it misted side down onto my stamp. Then, you iron it for 10-20 seconds. I moved the iron around slowly so I wouldn't shift the suede. Plus, I've heard that if there are steam holes in the iron, you don't want the holes to show in your fabric. After you remove the iron, you will have a beautiful pressed image in your fabric. You can do this with velvet too.
This particular item is for my super fantastic roommate at the upcoming SU convention.....
