Mom's Kitchen

Hey, everyone!

I hope your weeks are going just lovely-- I've been a busy bee so far! First, let me congratulate Connie Roberts-Huth for winning the Facebook contest! She's won a custom item which I'll be working on tomorrow all day and sending out next week-- I'm so excited!

Also, congratulations to Patti Fedula for being our 100th like! She's won a coupon code for 50% any shop item. Congrats, ladies!

On to business! So as you all know, I'm working for a couple design teams now and I just love it! I love being challenged, love working with new designs, and love being pushed out of my comfort zone! This week, I've been given two packs of paper with which to design for Lila's. The first of these is from Best Creation Inc., called Mom's Kitchen. This is such a fun and colorful collection with a little sparkle- not my usual style, but so adorable, I was thrilled to work with it!

Below you'll find my 2-page layout and 3 cards from the Mom's Kitchen collection. You'll be able to see these at Lila's within the next two weeks, as well as purchase all the papers! Check 'em out!

So cute, right?? I just adore this perky paper! I have to admit I have a pretty bad case of spring fever. It's been EXTREMELY cold here in Washington state-- it even snowed a little the last couple days! Now, I'm a Pennsylvania girl so snow is no big deal, but I am very ready for some nice hiking weather, for sure. This spring paper is just the thing to fuel my spring fever and get me ready for some sunshine! 

Tomorrow I'll be posting some designs from Canvas Corp.'s new French Home collection, so look forward to that. Have a great day, everyone!

Design Team and Classes!

So excited to announce that I've just been added to the design team at Lila's Scrapbooking in Everett! I just got my first design team pack to make some store examples from Authentique, AND, I just scheduled two classes that I'll be teaching!

First, I'll be teaching a class on embossing, resist, and stamping techniques on Tuesday, March 13th, first at 2-4pm, then again from 4:30-6:30pm. We'll make five (!) cards and a tag!

Then, on Tuesday, April 3rd, I'll be teaching a class on the basics of using alcohol inks, again from 2-4pm, and 4:30-6:30pm. We'll probably make a couple cards and maybe an altered object.

Below are two pictures of things from the March class:

I also made these cards for the shop!

These spring-y cards are for sale on Etsy here!

If you're nearby, join us at Lila's for the class- $20 for the two hour class-- plus, I'll have a prize with me!

Also, don't forget the McLion Facebook contest-- like McLion here, share our page with your friends or tag us in a status and get entered to win either an item from the shop or a three-pack of Tim Holtz Distress inks!
