Published - Somerset Studio

Yesterday I pulled a muscle in my back and I've been moping around the house in pain. The extra strength tylenol and bengay are working but I'm not used to being laid up like this! However, my day was brightened when my hubby brought in the mail and I received my complimentary copy of "Somerset Studio" Apr/May. I had a tag I created published on pg. 116 (using Oxford Impressions stamp images). Just LOVE Suzanne Melvin's "Alice" plates. What fun they are to work with!

Don't know about you, but I can't wait until March 5th to see Tim Burton's movie as I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp:) Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone:)

Published piece

Hi Everyone!
What can I say, haven't posted anything for ages again. Life always pulls me away but I had to show you this piece that I got published in the Feb/Mar 2010 issue of "The Stampers Sampler" that just arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Frankly I was a bit surprised as I had submitted this piece for their bead challenge a few months ago. When I received an e-mail from Stampington letting me know they were going to use my artwork, I had assumed that it was one of the tempting templates I submitted so you can understand why I was a bit surprised that this card appeared instead. (Funny NO template results were shown in this issue. Can't remember this ever happening but maybe they didn't get enough submissions?? Not sure...) Anyways, my card is on pg. 45 and I'm really happy with how it appears on the page. I used one of my favorite Lost Coast Designs stamps and I'm a big fan of butterflies so this piece was a joy to make. Like I say to people all the time, you never know what they will publish so don't be afraid to send something in. It's soooooo much fun!

Happy Sunday:)

Happy B-day!

Today is my nephew's 18th birthday. Where does the time go? Seems like yesterday he was still in diapers. He's gotten so tall that when I hug him, I see his belly button. (Maybe I'm just shrinking?!?) Anyways, we are so proud of him and want him to know how much we love him. Happy B'Day Corey! May your year be all you're hoping for:)

Happy Dance Day!

Today I felt like doing a little happy dance when I opened up our mailbox! My copy of the Dec/Jan issue of "The Stampers Sampler" arrived and I had six cards published:) Two of the corset templates I submitted didn't make it nor did another card for the bead challenge. One never knows what will be chosen but I'm tickled pink with what was chosen. I'm posting two of my favorites:)

Hope you had a good day and a better tomorrow!

a first for me....

Today my hubby came home with a little treat for me in a small clear bag. We usually don't do much for "sweetest day" but he walked in and said, "try this and happy belated - sweetest day!" The piece he popped in my mouth was a small chocolate covered thing and I thought it was a covered peanut. When I bit down, it was soft and juicy! He announced that it is a chocolate covered red GRAPE! Now that's a FIRST for me! He said they have them at Quality Candy. All I can say is "Bring on the bag!".... lol.
