Hello happy crafters!! Last week my dream came true!! The first issue of Through The Craftroom Door Magazine by me was published online! It is 75 pages full of ideas, tutorials, cards, how to photograph your creations, scrapbooking, video tutorial, coloring with Copic's and Prisma pencils..... You receive 6 issues plus one holiday issue filled with fun holiday ideas! Each issue cost you $2.56 but get this!! You will always have free digi's and this issue has 6! So in reality you are paying $2.56 for 6 digi's and you get a free magazine! Watch the video below created by my awesome friend Jo Ham to see glimpses of what the magazine is all about!
As you can see I again have not posted for a long time, since before Mother's Day:( I made several cards and no time to post. Last weekend was the Outlawz Baltimore Retreat and we had a blast!! What is that? It was the first annual retreat that I organized for online crafter's to come together and meet in person. We had several classes with Suzanne Dean teaching beginners and advance Copics and Marti Wills taught Prisma Coloring and Mixed Media. Oodles of door prizes and super goodie bags. There were approx. 25 women who came and we had a blast! Most of them were from The Outlawz Design Team and it was so much fun meeting the people I have communicated online with for years. The next one will be held in late September 2013. So save your pennies and plan on joining us! I created these cards weeks ago to fill orders. I have no clue what I used to create so hold on, sit back and enjoy the cards, video and photo's of the retreat!!

My client has dark skin and I am still working on the colors
so they don't look so red.

I have to tell you about when I was giving the goodie bags out! I said "in order to get a goodie bag you need to have a spoon stick to your nose" I turned my back to reach for a goodie bag and when I turned around there were 20 plus woman sitting at the dinner table with spoons on their noses. I almost peed my pants laughing so hard!! Linda is going to kill me for posting this but it was so hilarious! I had too!
Angela and Regina! Too cute. Do you think I will live after this post? LOL
