about my talented friends.......
Let's just take a look at this gal here...........Dana from Vickery Vous....
She was asked to be a part of the UK Scrapbook Magazine Design Team. She was just featured in a 3 page spread that introduced her to all the readers. I'm so excited for her!!! She's a wonderful scrapbook artist who remains true to her style. We met through Paper Tales after Michelle told me about her. I then blogged stalked her and introduced myself. Lucky for me, she not only didn't ban me from making further comments but she wanted to be my friend. Phew!
Yay Dana!! I am soooo happy for you! Hey...can I get your autograph?
I also want to introduce you to a new "blog kid" on the block. My friend and artist extraordinaire Amy of Finders Keepers has finally started a blog. I met her through Paper Tales at one of her collage classes. Do you remember this....
I think she was pretty impressed with my bird collage making skills thereby overlooking the fact that I talked the whole way through the class with Michelle. Once again, I was not only not banned from further classes, but got to be her friend. I'm like a cat with nine lives.....Please go check out Amy's blog Sweet Life and tell her Karin sent you! And while you're there check out all her beautiful artwork. She amazing!
Speaking of PaperTales....I stopped by today to pick up a few things and chit chat with Julie for a while. I picked up some cute paper........
And dropped off these.......
but not this......
Although the idea is cute, I totally messed up the top with my uneven cutting and crooked handles. I was going to do it over but it was my last piece of paper. Oh well......
The top two will be the ones I'm doing for my class at Paper Tales on February 14th. I'm really looking forward to it. And since it's Valentine's Day I may have to make a few of these for the class......
The boys and I made them the other night when I was craving cupcakes big time. Look at what the plate says......
I'm almost positive that's German for "Calorie Free." Homemade buttercream frosting, of course. Yummy!
Ok....time for me to get off the computer. I've got chemo tomorrow. So you know what that means......a long incoherent rambling post babbling on about trashy reality shows, the current state of the ecomomy and why I can't seem to keep my craft table clean. It's bound to be action packed.......Talk to you soon! Karin
