Congratulations Donna

I heard some fabulous news today and I had to share.

Donna Funnell, Mixed Minded 2011 instructor and artist from the Milton area, found one of her creations of the cover of the current issue of Cloth, Paper Scissors! Congratulations Donna! I was so happy to hear that from some of your fans today!

Can you see her HOUSE? (be still my beating heart).....

perhaps this image found on page 78 will help -- Donna's is the one the arrow is pointing to.

How fabulous is that?

I was THRILLED to see so many Canadian pieces in this article. Go Canada!!

To celebrate I have ALL ISSUES of CLOTH, PAPER, SCISSORS on sale at the studio and online for $7.99 (that's 20% off). Get them while they're here!!

IF YOU GET SOMETHING PUBLISHED in a magazine, let me know -- I'm happy to spread the word!! Congratulations again, Donna.

Looky Looky

what went to print today....!!

See anything on the cover I may find exciting?

I'm doing a little jig over here! Yep, that's right .. I have a cover article. Hope you love it!

I'm taking Jackie Ludlage (co-founder and editor of the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine) the samples for my Spring article tomorrow (weird thinking spring when there was frost on my window this morning). Loving how they turned out! I wish I could show you ... but you'll see soon enough!

COME MEET JACKIE AND I at the Made by Hand Show at the International Centre, Toronto TOMORROW.

yes, tomorrow... The studio will be closed while I am there. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Gorgeous Card, Regan!

Regan, our little "Stampy McStamperson", *smile* created this card for a Moxie Fab challenge and sent me the link to show me. WHY? Well, because she used a stamp that she purchased at the Studio:

Susanne Carillo for "Art Gone Wild"

Here's the link to it and Susanne's other stamps I have for sale at the studio. They are all Wood Mounted and super fine!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this card! Thanks so much for sharing, Regan!!

I love it when people share what they've done with the product in the studio or a technique that they've learned from me .... so PLEASE share your work. I'd love to see!!

Have a creative day!

OMG... It's Magic!

and this time I'm not talking about a stencil!

My Pilot Pen Rep was in here today and she showed me something that I think will make your heart sing! .... a ball type pen that will write on fabric (and canvas ... I tried) that will disappear when you heat it with an iron or even a heat gun!!

Take a look:

See! Told you!! and the best part? It's only $2.99!!

I can't wait to play with it! I so see myself designing something on a piece of canvas and painting (or whatever) over it and then taking the heat gun to it to remove any lines I didn't go over. OMG!! Yahoo!!!

It will be available in the studio Friday or Tuesday at the latest. I already added it to the online store. It will ship as soon as it arrives! YAY!!

Off to play! Have a creative day!

Happy Movember!
