Photo Success
I had success uploading my pictures! Go to the classroom to see all the photos from my Valentine album.
Valentine's Album- FYI
I am currently trying to upload the pictures for my Valentine's album and having technical difficulties. I am hoping that by tonight I am able to get them up so anyone who has purchased the kit from Treasured Memories is able to see the pages. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

Happy Heart Month Friends!
I decided to create projects for my Riff Raff CHA demos last month that I could use here as classes for you. I got away from albums (at least for the first part of the month) and made a canvas and a garland. This is my first attempt at a canvas and I'll admit- I'm a big fan. It hangs in my kitchen and every time I walk into the kitchen I think... "Wow, I did that." It wasn't hard and doesn't have alot of detail but it seems to do the trick. The nested hearts and the wings are Riff Raff product that they showed at CHA last week, these two products are February releases (my favorite release yet) and will be available this month.
I bought the canvas at Michael's(I find them the least expensive there)and painted it black. I then used the Riff Raff wings as a mask and spray painted the canvas with copper paint.I painted the heart (also Riff Raff) black and placed type pattern paper behind it and then adhered it with a glue stick to the canvas(there is better glue to use for this type of project but meh). To ensure the heart stay on I also used colored staples through the canvas over the heart. I then stamped a group of words with black paint and then stamped the tiny alphas with gold paint, these add a subtle but nice touch.There you have it, all done.
When I saw the Riff Raff wings and the large nested hearts for the first time I squealed I loved them so much and instantly knew I was making this garland to hang in my home. The heart with the wings are painted then I applied a thick layer of crackle medium and painted the next color so it would dry and crack showing the first color (like weathered wood). Two other hearts also go through the same process but I also embossed them to make them nice and shiny, the rest of the hearts are just painted and embossed, the hearts then became frames for my pictures. I poked holes jump rings and tied each piece together with black tulle through the jump ring. This project took a little over three hours but so worth it in my books.
If you have any questions on "how to" or where you can find any of the product used here Email Me and I'll be happy to help out! Check back later this month for my Valentine's give away and another project for you to do at home!

Hello 2009
Happy New Year Friends!
I see great things for Delite Designs in 2009 and I am very excited to keep bringing you ideas and inspiration. I will however be taking January off as I have been focusing my creative energy on a huge project or actually projects that I am working on for Creative Pages' annual scrap booking event- Crop Crazy in Edson, Alberta. I have been asked to come back and teach and am so excited to be doing it again! It has expanded this year to a bigger and better location and will be offering more crop space, more classes with more class space! So exciting! I will be teaching 3, that's right 3 classes this year! One on the Friday night and two on the Saturday, wow! It takes place May 1, 2 & 3. Stay tuned for more details and if you're able I'd love to see you there!
For now friends take care and I wish all of you a happy, healthy, creative New Year!!!

Christmas Give Away!
I taught my Noel album this weekend to a group of fabulous ladies over at Treasured Memories, some of them I knew and some others that were new to my classes. I thought the class went great and I enjoyed spending a big chunk of my Saturday with them! I have added this album to the classroom so that you all can enjoy it too, check it out here.
Now for the goodies...
I am giving away a kit for my Noel acrylic album, the kit comes complete with instructions and all the product you will need to complete your very own book. Email Me and let me know what your favorite project was from the 12 days of Christmas. Are you working on any or hoping to get one started? I have spoken to a few of you about questions you had about the projects, email me any other questions and I'll try to help out the best I can. I will draw a name and post the winner on Christmas day! Good Luck!
