Is anybody out there…

May 31, 2008

I hope you haven’t given up on me… hope­fully there are still a few of you left out there read­ing my blog. Lots of stuff has been going on mostly end of school stuff, some CHA-S and of course projects for my book.

I can’t believe the school year is almost over. Ans­ley will be a fresh­man in high school next year. Can some­one tell me how I ended up here because I swear I was just 20 yes­ter­day. Any­way, here is a card I cre­ated for the National Sta­tionery Show using lots of Maya Road prod­ucts. Some don’t real­ize how per­fect Maya Road prod­ucts are for card mak­ing so I thought I would share a lit­tle tutorial.

  2. Using Black thread, sew a straight stitch all around the pat­terned paper

    Hi Lisa — wanted to share some good news. I finally fin­ished the fam­ily ban­ner that I started in your class — pic­tures and all. It’s a great project. Hope work is going well on your book so that we can get our hands on some more great projects.

    Oh, LOVE the card (yea, I’ll be lift­ing that one :grin: )

    Hey Lisa!

    Thank you *SO* much for these fab tuto­ri­als — I have been remiss thank­ing you. :oops:

    Love how your birth­day ban­ner “morphs” into a birth­day book keep­sake! What a great idea — I may have to “trans­mor­gafy” some ban­ners so they can be enjoyed year round. And what a great idea for grads…!

    Speak­ing of which, I con­fess to a quick daily visit to your blog and not leav­ing com­ments. It is that time of year and I’m wish­ing you could send your cre­ative muse over to visit to help me magic out a “grad trib­ute” album. Only the “slow-poke snail of inspi­ra­tion” has made an appearance…

    The album is due this Sat­ur­day — and then I’m look­ing for­ward to div­ing into your fab­u­lous projects that I ordered from your web­site! Woo hoo! It’ll be like sum­mer camp for scrap­book­ing moms!
