My Digital Studio and Graduation

Hi Stampers!!
Don't forget to sign up to attend my PRE SALE on July 27 and the OPEN HOUSE on July 30!! - Email me!

I've been busy creating scrapbooks in My Digital Studio ... it's sooooo cool and best of all, no MESS!! You can get as creative as you want - or you can stick with a predesigned book. Your choice. I will be having beginner classes in September for MDS - email me if you are interested!

These files are low resolution so you can't see ALL the detail - I will have the books available at the PRE SALE and OPEN HOUSE ... come check them out!

Here's what I did for Kerry's book.

And here's Caitlin's book ... looks totally different, doesn't it? Different kids = different looks!

Graduations ....

Proof ... I haven't just been vegetating!! (In case you thought I was)  

First Kerry's graduation from Castle High School

Kerry made us special thank you plaques ... :)

Then Caitlin's graduation from Swarthmore College

  Professor Schneider, her major and thesis advisor

Here's the proof!!! 

Stamp a Stack classes will start up again on July 29 and 31 ... email me if you want to come. I will be demo-ing at our annual Open House on July 30th ... details to follow!!

Hope to see you soon

Grad pictures - corrected - SENIOR pictures

Hey Stampers!
Hope you are all keeping busy with ink and paper ... today I actually managed to find some stamping time, AND helped Kerry with her senior pictures. I always call them grad pictures but that's wrong. These are her senior pictures. Kerry really likes stamping - she wants me to find her a demo so she can go to classes in college! It only seemed appropriate for us to jazz up the cardboard frames a bit.

Aren't they pretty? Very simple - Versamark ink, stamps from the Sweet Summer saleabration stamp set, clear embossing powder, heat gun and powder pal ... and you are ready! When you're done, sooooo elegant looking, don't you agree ?

Kerry's senior photograph was done by Nikki Jennifer Photography ... check her out if you are looking for an awesome natural light artist. We had a really difficult time chosing the picture to use ... they were all wonderful. Here's a link to Nikki's website. She's doing a sister session for Kerry and Caitlin while Caitlin is home for Kerry's graduation. I can't WAIT to see the end result. She's also doing prom photos for Kerry and her friends next week ... we love her work. Take a moment and look at her website - you'll even see a couple more pictures of Kerry!

And while you are surfing the net, drop by my new ETSY store. I don't have much on there yet, but I will soon. Make it a favorite and stop by often. I will be adding more items as quickly as I can. You'll see lots of different things - fabric and paper. Hope you enjoy visiting and feel free to shop - email me if you are in Hawaii (on the windward side) and we can arrange to meet to avoid shipping charges.

I know, I know, it's been SOOOOO Long since I posted anything! I'm sorry!!
