woo hoo!

There’s an announcement today over on The Ribbon Carousel blog…

I was asked to join the Ribbon Carousel Crew.  :0)  Should be fun!

fun news!

Hello!  I can’t believe March is here already and it is bringing some fun news that I can finally share!  I’ve enjoyed guest designing last month and  now I will be staying on the Sweet ‘n Sassy design team as an Illustrator/Stamp Designer!  I am excited to be a part of this wonderful group of ladies…they are so inspiring both spiritually as well as in their stamping. 

My first stamp set with Sweet ‘n Sassy is being released THIS month.  It has 5 images by me and a whole bunch of sentiments that Korin and I worked together on.  I’ll have some projects to share later next week but for now here’s a little sneak peek or two…

                         

I’m sure you can guess the theme.  I haven’t even colored my favorite image yet but I hope you like them.  Mark your calendars for March 8 when the new stamp sets will be released!  :)

Cardmaker special issue

Woot!  It has been years since I submitted to a magazine so I was thrilled when I was asked to make a card for this special issue of CardMaker

Check out pages 14 and 15 for my card! 

This issue has cards you can make with your Scor-Pal, along with diecuts, embossing, etc.  I think you’ll like it!

it’s even better!

Do you love your Scor-Pal as much as I do?  I use mine on every card!  And now Diana Crick, the creator of the Scor-Pal made it even better!

This new, improved version has:

*the pretty new blue color!

* 1/4″ grooves across the board!  YAY!!!  I ♥ this!

*1/8″ grooves in the first and last inch!

*highlighted and easier to read numbers!

*a reference point at 6″ on the bottom! (Sorry you can’t see it in this pic…I wanted to get a close-up of the numbers across the top)

*a magnatized area under the logo to hold little brads, etc. while you are working!

*and an asterisk at the 4 1/4″ mark!  This will be so handy for finding the right groove at a glance!

I hope I didn’t miss anything.  I am gonna love those 1/4″ grooves!  Personally, I am glad that it doesn’t have grooves every 1/8″ across the board like the “other” scoring board.  I tried one a few weeks ago and I found it very confusing and hard on my eyes to find the groove that I needed.  The scoring tool also kept wanting to jump the track I was in, but that may have been user error.  ;)  

Keep your eyes peeled on the Scor-Pal website…they should have full inventory of these in a few weeks!  I received this one now because I am on the new Scor-Pal design team!  :)   I can’t wait to play with it!  ♥
