Hello! Check out my canvas class for June, all the details are here. If you can't make it to the class I will be making kits and prepping the canvas' myself for those. Lucky you, but the down side- You won't get to learn all my fancy tricks for coloring the canvas. There's always a perk for coming to hang out with me... I mean other than my fabulous company ;-) hee hee.
I'm also sharing my latest layout for Twisted Sketches, the sketch and the other ladies layouts can be found here. The twist was "handmade" so I whipped up a couple flowers from last Tuesday's Show & Tell. Anam over at Twisted Sketches has also started a design team for cards, she provides a sketch for a card just like she does for the layout! So fabulous! I have such a hard time with cards and this is the perfect kick start I need. Go to the Twisted Sketches blog and check it out!


What's inspiring me now can be found over here. I will also be putting up a technique this week as I totally flaked out and forgot to do it on Thursday. Oops.

Have a great week friends!

Good Morning and welcome to May! This past weekend was National Scrapbook Day and while I didn't actually scrapbook for myself I got to hang out with a fantastic group of ladies that were. I hope that you were able to find time this weekend to do something for yourself, be it scrapbooking or not. I was at Treasured Memories on Saturday running make n' takes for the croppers, tons of fun and tons of laughs, although I think most of those laughs were at me... shrug!
Just a reminder that tomorrow night at Treasured Memories from 6-8pm is Show and Tell and we will be making these fabulous flowers inspired by the lovely Elizabeth Kartchner. If you're local come drop by.


I'll also be at the store on Saturday teaching this Spring Wreath class, there are spots available so come hang out with me for the morning. It'll be good times. If you can't make the class time there are also kits to purchase. All the details can be found here.

Be sure to head over to the Inspiration blog to check out a wonderful & talented friend of mine! Have a fantastic Monday, I'll be back on Thursday with another technique!

xoxo

Congratulations

Hello Monday! The sun is shining here and the birds are singing outside my window! How can you not love a Monday that starts like that! I have two winners today that I want to give huge Congrats to! The winner of the draw for all the Glitz Design product is Cheryl who said "My inspiration definitely comes from 3 sources. First being my 3 munchkins!!! Each with their own unique personality and insight to this wonderful and crazy world we live in. Second my desire to pass on my view of our life to them and their children.... and lastly none of this inspiration could happen without creative and delightful people like you and Scrapperlicious aka Irene Tan. Your work gives me a start... and a push when I've run out of ideas" and the winner of the Making Memories apron and brackets mask from Heidi Swapp goes to Kim who said "My children inspire me…I love to scrap memories for and of them growing up….. "
Thanks to everyone who entered and for the many nice things you had to say!
Head on over to the Inspiration blog for what's inspiring me these days!
Have a great week everyone!

Staples & A Mess!


Check out today's technique here, it's all about staples.


Ever feel like you're the only one who's creative space is a place where you'd go for punishment if you did something wrong? Well, you're not! I never understand how it gets like this but I'm taking a big garbage bag in there today and I am giving it a proper spring cleaning! Wish me luck! If I'm not back here on Monday perhaps someone should send out a search party!

There's still time to enter my give away, go here for the details!

Also, check out my personal blog to see my big project ;-)

Hello Fabulous!

Good Morning Friends! This past weekend our weather was in the mid 20's and it was wonderful. Sunshine- I love you! What does this mean? That we want to be outside every chance we get and that means no scrapbooking! It does however give you an opportunity to take photos to scrapbook during our long cold winter here in fabulous Canada! Always an upside! So don't fret if you think you're getting behind, get outside, enjoy the sunshine! You'll catch up later! (famous last words).
I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has already bought one of my demos, I have sold half of them and I know they're all going to fabulous homes! Remember, if the photo is still up, you can still get it! Also, don't forget about my giveaway here, you have one more week to enter.
Today's inspiration is all about art journals! A fun, new creative outlet that you can take with you outside and on your travels! See, we can still get our creative fix even if we're not scrapbooking! Check out my post over at the Inspiration blog. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful week!

Demo Sale & Giveaways

Demo Sale!

I have been going through my baskets of books & projects and couldn't believe how many I had accumulated over the years. So I decided to have a scrapbook garage sale here for the next couple of weeks. It's a no fuss, first come, first serve deal. I have posted pictures, the cost and some basic info about the projects. If you want to purchase one of them, email me and we'll make payment and delivery arrangements. If the project needs to be shipped, shipping charges will also apply (shipping on these is usually between $8-$12). I have attached an "email me" link under each project or you can use the email link on the side menu, you will need to specify in your subject line which project you want. I will remove the project once it is purchased.


Also, as I promised earlier you can head over to the Inspiration blog to enter a couple of giveaways I have to make up for being MIA. I will confess that I have been working on a pretty big project that has had me fairly preoccupied. More details on that later.


Good to be back friends! Mwah!
