Try It Tuesday ~ Guadalupe County Fair.

Hi guys!

Thanks for stopping by for 

Try It Tuesday!

I tried something, totally, new to me this last week.

I had a ton of fun and learned lots :)

Let me show you what I mean~

We had the opportunity to go to the Indiana State Fair this summer. I kinda got the bug,

 with the help of my daughter-in-law, to find out about the County Fair in out area.

 So I did and I did :) enter !

I entered 24 craft projects and 1 antique item in the Guadalupe County Fair in Sequin,

 Texas.  Just down the road from me.  

Here a few of my favorites that did well~

Remember the bucket~ I used Clear Scraps, Darkroom Door and acrylic paints.

Vintage paper cutter :)

Clear Scraps "Journey Banner"

Clear Scraps Lrg. Clipboard. This was also a class I taught at

 Craft Crossing.

Muffin Pan ~Quick Quotes

Vintage shoe form ~ photo display

I ended up with 

12 Blue, 11 red and 2 white.

Met some new people and became friends with some,   

 so I came out ahead :)

Thanks for stopping by~

Our puzzle piece swap~Craft Crossing girls!

Hi guys!!

Some of the girls at Craft Crossing (friends, customers, special peeps, teachers) got together and did a puzzle piece swap.  It was organized by Christy  Gilbreath (Collins Group Representative)

 for our area.

Here is the puzzle with all of the pieces done by me~this was my design:):) for everyone.  So each person got one of these~

The sayings are stickers by Cosmo Cricket.  I tried to match those up to the person I was making the puzzle piece for.  I even tried to match up the vintage ladies (by Darkroom Door) ~ Here is the puzzle with the pieces done for me, by the girls in the swap:):)

In case I forgot to tell you girls~I loved the puzzle pieces you did, with me in mind~

We will have to do it again~

Starting L-R 1st row~ me, Pam Sivage and Christy Gilbreath.

2nd row~Janice Nutt, Kristi

3rd row~Penci Petty, Pam Malatek, Sindee Glenn

XOXO

See ya soon~

Tag Class~ Tim Style with Penci!!

I took a class with Penci at Craft Crossing.  We did three tags, Tim Holtz style.   I really am focusing on learning more stamping and ink type technique's.  This year it is back to class, more on-line classes.  I really have my eye on this class by Julie Balzer, Stamp Carving 101.

Who wants to take it with me?

Sounds good, right!!!!

OK here are the tags I made with Penci~

 

 It would take a book for me to tell you how to make these.  It's all in the details~
I'm convinced of that.

Friday I'm up on Clear Scraps~hope you can stop by.
See ya soon~

My turn over on The Curtsey Boutique~super cute project:):)

Bo Bunny Bonus~

 Hi guys~this is the bonus layout for my last weeks class at Craft Crossing.  If you take any of my classes I always try to have a bonus project {my gift to you}!!!!  The paper is by Bo Bunny.  I used embellishments by Queen & Co. and Bo Bunny.

The thing is, I use up all the scrap paper that was not used on the class project.  Sometimes I do a card or craft project too.   I love using up all the extra pieces of paper~no waste here.

Here they are side by side.  I think it makes a super cute double layout.

***************************

The Collins Rep Group Convention is coming up this week and I'm looking forward to taking many, many classes.  I'm going to meet a blogger friend also.  Looking forward to that.  

See ya soon~
