Hi everyone....thanks for stopping by!  I'm so excited to be participating in the SOTM Blog hop....it's been way to long and I've really missed that special connection we all have with one another :) I can honestly say...I'm unsure where the month of September went...but I'm so welcoming October and some cooler weather for sure.  If you're coming here from Jen Armstrong's Blog you're on the right path...yeah!  October's stamp set is titled "Twinkle" as a reminder that Christmas is right around the corner...and the perfect time to start creating those special gifts for all those wonderful people in your life.  

Here is an up close picture of the stamp set....

I loved creating the background paper using the second generation stamping technique.

 The "Trim the Tree" image is a velum overlay added to colonial white cardstock by using a few drops of liquid glass.

Now hop on over to Donna Bigsby's Blog and check out her amazing art! Thanks for stopping by and stay inky my friends. 

Finally...Extravaganza videos are up

So here they are....the final videos....many lessons learned for future videos, lol.  Heads up....the second one is really fast....since I was running out of space on the video card. There has to be an easier way, lol.

I'm so totally going to figure out this video business, that's for sure.

I'll be sure to upload pictures of the artwork shown soon.

Stay inky my friends!

To Be Continued

So if you know me personally, you'll know how upset I am right now about my blog post not being up!  If you don't know me that well...I'm very upset.  I sometimes loose my mind and forget things...this time I remembered my video post, but when I went to my dad's on Friday, I failed to copy the compressed files to my removable disk!  I'm devastated..... so my videos yet again will not be posted tonight...BUT they will be posted on Monday night...fingers crossed :)

Stay inky my friend.
