A single rose .....

I tend to color an extra image when I am working on a project especially something with Copics, you never know what is going to happen. I've been known to spill on my image or drop something on it to ruin it. So, when I was coloring this image with my Copics for our 2010 Calgals Calendar - I wanted to be sure I had a spare. Well, I didn't need the spare so I made it into a card right away.

Supply info: Copic markers, Atyou Spica pen, stamp by stampabilites, paper all SU, black rhinestones and white satin ribbon

I had a great weekend, scrapbooking with some friends.  I worked on some stuff for my class sponsored by Monday Night Class that I am teaching at the Okotokos Scrapbooking Convention on March 6th and then on Saturday, I cropped for myself all day.  I got there after 11 so I had 11 hours available though I did go shopping for another hour.  I managed to finish one double page layout and two single page layouts.  I need to take photos very soon and post.  That means my scrapping goal for the month has been meet but I haven't meet my goal on the card side, good thing the Calgals on meeting on the 29th ... I think this will have to be my 2 card night.

Christmas with Copics

These are the 3 cards I designed for my Christmas with Copics class that I taught earlier this month at the Scrapbook Pantry. It was a lot of fun, I keep the cards simple as I really wanted us to focus on the coloring of the images and not a lot of complex cards. We did a lot of fading out to white technique on these cards. I am pretty sure most had never used their blender pen so much.

The Calgals are coming over to my house tonight as I've had to miss the last couple with Ian gone. It's a little easier on me to put Hailey down in her crib as she is at the age now that bedtime has to be in her crib. I am looking forward to seeing the girls. It is my turn to the challenge for us. I am sure we all with have something to post really soon. Then on Saturday am, I am teaching a Copic Techniques class at 9 am at the Scrapbook Pantry. Hopefully, I will have enough of a voice to get through the 3 hour class as I don't think I mentioned I am suffering from a cold/sore throat and have that sexy cracking voice going on.

Long time no post!

Wow! Where does the time go? Hailey will be 2 months tomorrow. We have been very busy however, I've managed to do the instruction to 2 of my MondayNightClass.ca kits which I found out will be released on Oct 1! It will be exciting to see the kits go live on the internet.

Hailey and I are in Regina right now and have been since the 29th of August. Ian was with us until Sunday night when he flew home for work this week. Hailey and I are staying until Friday. I'll be driving home that day as Saturday night is Member's Night at the Scrapbook Pantry and my copic teaching starts on Monday night.

I did become a Copic Certified Designer on Saturday, August 22nd! Sherrie Siemens was in Calgary to do the certification then she taught 3 classes at Scrapbook Pantry for our customers. I had the pleasure of having lunch with Sherrie and helping her out in her classes. She is an amazing teacher and shed some light on how I want to teach my classes. If you interested in my classes, check out the Class Calendar at the Scrapbook Pantry website.

Enough chatter! I do have something to show you - my latest MNC kit design. The is one that will be released on Oct 1. Papers are by Upsy Daisy Designs.



On another note, I will not be a Stampin' Up Demo after September 30th as I am not willing to sign the new Independent Demo Agreement. I don't want to be limited to what I post on my blog as I love a ton of products and a lot of them more than SU! Also, I want to be able to tell you about my Copic teaching at The Pantry as well as my design work for MondayNightClass.ca (BTW, there is a great article about MNC in the latest issue of Canadian Scrapbooker in the Made in Canada section!)
