Birthday Cheer

Hello happy crafters! It's Saturday and the sun is shining brightly! One of my favorite things about spring is having the windows open and feeling the fresh air from a slight breeze! I have to do it early in the morning because my DH is glued to the thermostat like he is to the TV remote control!! Last night I went outside to get warmed!! LOL no lie! He had it down to 68 and I was freezing to the point I was shivering and he was as comfortable as can be with a t-shirt on!!

I have received several emails asking if I am ok! Thank you so much for missing me:) for I surely have missed you!! The letters really touched my heart:)  There have been no emergencies, illness's or flying out to my parents home. I just have been so busy getting Through The Craftroom Door Magazine ready for my first publication!! I can't wait to see what you think!  So many dear and awesome friends have been helping me and it is looking good!! Lots of techniques, 3 D projects, photo and video tutorials!  On May 15 it will be available!!

My first Outlawz Rodeo is coming up very quickly!!! Oh me, oh my I sure am nervous about it! The  Rodeo is a social  event I planned for May 18 -20 so online crafting friends can come together and finally meet one another in person! I have so many dear friends online who have been a huge part of my crafting life, I want to meet you and have a real hug!  There will also be several classes for you to attend during the day! Two Copic Coloring classes taught by  Suzanne Dean  who can teach anyone to color with Copics in a day! Suzanne's passion is teaching coloring  with Copics and will dazzle you with her techniques! Marti Wills is having a class with colored pencils and another class using Mixed Media's. Marti colors with Prisma colored pencil and  makes everything look like a photograph. You should really check out her pages of colored fruit, flowers and teddies to see how awesome they are! I am in the process of putting together the goodie bags and door prizes. It's not too late to make reservations to come. The hotel has extended the days for our special pricing. If you live within driving distance, come on and join us for a weekend of non stop fun with games, outings, dinners and lots and lots of chatter!! You can see all the details at  The Outlawz Challenge website!

And if all of that hasn't kept me busy!! My DH brought home a huge card order from the ladies in his office! Today I will be creating 8 of them and hopefully my mojo will kick into high gear!!

My card is featuring these adorable tweety birds and flowers from the Gina K Petals and Wings stamp kit. I love this stamp set! It can be used for so many different occasions and today I chose to use it for a birthday card. I actually cased it from Gina K, herself for  love the look of it!

Paper: Gina K is exclusively in the Petals and Wings Stamp TV Kit. Love it! Spellbinders # 18 die cut and it matches the stamp perfectly. Copics for coloring. Stamp N' Up oval and scallop oval punch's. Stickles on the flowers to add some glittering shine. Easy Peasy to create in less than 10 minutes excluding the cutting the birds stamp. 

Have a great weekend!!

What a darling card! I love it and I also can't wait to see the first copy of TTCD. I am already subscribed to it and I am sure it will be fabulous. Wish I was coming to the Rodeo but hopefully I will get to next year if hubby is well.
