It just keeps getting better & better!

Morning my friends!

In all the birthday hustle bustle the beginning of this week, I neglected to share more exciting news with you!  I'm thrilled to say I've once again had a project showcased in the latest edition of Papers & Pixels online magazine.

Here's a little snippet of the project I submitted for the July 15th edition.

Thanks for letting me share this exciting news with you!  

I'm still trying to get everything together before heading out in the morning for Indiana to link up with my Mid-West crafting friends.  Guess I'd best get back to it. 

Have a fabulous day and as always . . .

EXCITING NEWS!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Here we are at the threshold of another weekend and  I would like to start out today by wishing each and everyone of you a FABULOUS St. Patrick's Day weekend!!

My EXCITING NEWS today is that I am thrilled to be FEATURED once again in the online magazine PAPERS & PIXELS!  You will LOVE this magazine if you are not already familiar with it!  There are LOTS and LOTS of very useful articles, tutorials and always plenty of photos if you are a 'visual' person like myself!  Be sure to click on the link and check out the awesome articles in this months edition. 

I can't wait to look through this months edition and see what new things I can learn. 

Well it's still early morning here in Ohio and hubby will soon be wanting breakfast so I'd better get in the kitchen and get the coffee going!   Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hopefully I'll be back later with a card creation to share ... we'll see how my day goes!

Until then and as always . . .

Publication Day . . .

TODAY's the day that the October Edition of Papers & Pixels is published.  

PEEK #1

• Darlene Pavlick from Dar's Crafty Creations will be with us for several months sharing tutorials for her wonderful craft projects.  This month, Darlene's project is a gorgeous tri-shutter card.  Actually, she has two cards to shows us, and they're both splendid!

PEEK #2

• Shelly Parker from Shelly's Images shows us various projects made with her sensational stamps, complete with details for each project.  She also has a free holiday stamp for our readers.

Remember, this is an ONLINE magazine and  it can't be purchased at the stores.  But, for a mere $1.50 you will get TONS of crafting information which you can save to your computer for future reference instead of all those paper magazines piling up in the corner!  Here's more information on how you can get your own copy.

Sneak Peek No. 1

Darlene Pavlick from Dar’s Crafty Creations is an avid Splitcoast Stamper who loves vintage.  Over the next several months, Darlene will be sharing her wonderful tutorials and creations with Papers and Pixels.  This month, Darlene gets us underway with two terrific tri-shutter cards.  Shown below is Darlene’s vintage tri-shutter card, but there’s also a beautiful birthday card she’ll show you how to make.

WOW!  How awesome is this?  

I (little ole me!) was asked to be featured in the October Edition of Paper and Pixels Magazine!

I can't tell you how excited I was to receive the email asking me if they could feature me for the October Edition and after sending in my work, they ask if I'd like to do a few more things for additional upcoming editions. I tell you, I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning!!

If you are not familiar with Paper and Pixels Magazine, they are an ONLINE magazine jam packed full of crafting fun of all types.  Store Link: www.papersandpixels.com/shop/ and here is a link to their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Papers-and-Pixels/149120158444439

The September edition is available now and you can check out their website HERE to get a taste of all the wonderful information available in just one issue of this fabulous magazine!

The October Edition is to go live on the 15th but I just couldn't wait to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!  I never was very good at keeping secrets and please forgive me for having 'little kid in a candy store' syndrome today ... LOL!

OH! OH! OH!  WAIT!!  MORE EXCITING NEWS ... I'm doubly excited because I'm thrilled to say that I'm sharing this spotlight with friend & artist Shelly Parker (Shelly's Images).  You'll have to get your hands on the October Edition when it becomes available ($1.50) to read/see more about me & Shelly and she will even have her fabulous Jingle Bells digi offered to subscribers as a FREEBIE  

(see below).

 

PLEASE be sure to check it out and let me know what you think. 

OKAY ... DEEP BREATH!

I must get on the road ... I'm headed to Joan's Gardens (in Indiana) today for the final workshop of 2012.  Not sure what she has up her sleeve for us this time around but I know one project required EGG SHELLS that we needed to remove the membrane from before we could use them.  Interesting huh!  I'll be sure to share all the details with you next week. I promise to drive safely!!

Talk to you soon!
