even the end of summer...

Just poking around with some of my more challenging photos that i really wanted to put into layouts for i dont know why, but i do and i actually managed this one. playing around with some of the prima paintables, copic markers, and my new tiny attacher i think i got something that suits the photo. well, i think its pretty...

waiting for paint to dry...

oh, dont mind me. just hanging out. working on a new post for this coming monday over at the SBSRUS blog. well, really just finishing up some details, but sometimes i wish things just would scoot along faster. like this coming week for instance. husband is gone (*sigh*) and, while i have enjoyed myself this past week keeping the boogerbear and myself on our own schedules, i'm ready for him to come home already. oh well, exciting things are afoot and i've been able to over-organize myself into a complete frenzy. on that note, i think i need to do a little craft area housekeeping.



its not at its worst, but i'm at a good stopping point to get things back at ground zero.

until next time...

ps. lulz at using a really aweful webcam...

hope to see you guys there!!

little bo peep DIY extremist?

maybe not, but this sheepherding bride was awesome enough to use wool from one of her own sheep to create a truely original wedding gown. idk that i would get married in it. its a little warm in these parts for an all wool gown, but it is certainly memorable.

mini album mania?

just about.


I've been so super busy working on samples for memories live on and samples/product reviews for scrapbooking supplies R US's blog (SBSRUS) (none of which have been posted, but all in good time) that i have totally neglected sharing anything here. i'm awesome, what can i say? i have had the privilage of recreating Irene Tan's (aka. Scrapperlicious) work for SBSRUS and having a blast! she has definately expanded my inking and distressing horizons. so much so that i recently created this little sample book built upon clear scrap's mini deco acrylic album. it doesnt have any photos atm, but soon...

 

**i'm not sure if you guys are having trouble viewing all of the imgs, but i tried to fix them and its still not working. sorry about that. hopefully i can get them uploaded into a new gallery and attach that to this blog finally.
