Here is another card from the Copic 201 - Greeting Farms Class for your viewing pleasure.

Isn't she just the cutest?? I especially love her wavy hair and colourful outfit....come to think of it I think I wore the exact same thing back then too!!

My little tip for this card? When you close cut a stamped image, use a black marker on the sides of the cutout so that you don't see the white sides of the card stock. It gives the image a much cleaner look.

Check out the Scrapalicious website to sign up for the class.

Hi everyone.....I'm B...A...C.....K!!

I've just returned from the almost dead. What I mean by that is that this past Friday and Saturday I participated in a 24 hour non stop MS crop and even though I am exhausted from not sleeping for 24 hours it was totally worth it. Lots of fun/laughs/giddiness and prizes AND most importantly it has inspired me to blog.

ALL good things don't cha think?

Now, I have to clarify that I didn't stay awake for the full 24 hours - I took a nap for about 2 hours on Saturday.

What did I work on during the crop? Well class stuff of course!

Here is a sneak peak of a Copic Card Class that I'm teaching over at Scrapalicious this month. Hope to see you there!

Sorry I haven't kept up with the blogging, but I've really been uninspired to get on here and do it. I have a few things to post but really....don't know what to say.

soon...folks....soon....

It's been well over a month since I've posted and I have no excuse why other than to say that I've been very busy.

I just want to wish everyone out there in blogger land a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

May you be blessed with good health, and happiness.

Ever been to sea Billy? These are photos from 2007 and yes, I'm petting a shark. It was a nurse shark though and come on - if little kids will do it why won't I?? I must say though - I had to wash my hands immediately afterwards!! I'm a real germiphobe and those sharks were wet and fishy.

Back to using up stuff from the stash and this is photo paper bought in my early days of scrapping.
