Have you been following Ellen's 12 Days of Christmas over at the CLASSroom blog? If not, you are missing out on some MAJOR giveaways!! We are on Day 11 today and I have some Copic coloring tips, along with some more previews of the new Lockhart stamp release! Here's a sneak peek:
We hope you'll join us for some fabulous, greatly-varied project inspiration to start off this new year AND by just leaving a comment on each of the 12 blog posts, you could win some fantastic product prize packages! Don't fret -- you still have until midnight PST tomorrow, January 6th, to leave comments on each blog post to be eligible to win each individual prize package!
And on a personal note, I'm absolutely giddy about something that was just delivered to my house -- a Cricut Expression!!
I've wanted to try this electronic/digital die cutting machine for ages, and through the very kind generosity of Provo Craft & Imagination International (Copic), I'll soon be sharing some very cool (I hope!) die cut projects! You'll be able to easily find those blog posts by clicking on the "Cricut" category over in the right sidebar of my blog.
So over the holidays I was diligently making space, cleaning up and reorganizing my studio (little sneak peaks in the background above!) and hope to be finished enough by this weekend to be able to take pictures and give you a tour next week!
But never fear -- my Spellbinders dies (seen in the white CD drawers on the table right behind the Cricut) and new Grand Calibur machine aren't going anywhere! Look at the time and effort you can now save by die cutting a whole sheet of stamped images at one time, since the Calibur accepts paper up to 8.50" wide!!
I can't wait to get some of the huge Grand Dies to try out, too!
And since I'm rambling on, I'll include one more tid-bit . . . my 4th Blogoversary is this month and in my "great clean-up & reoganization" I found a BUNCH of goodies to give away, so I'll try to start those giveaways next week, too!
Thanks for visiting today ... your kind comments always mean so much to me! I'll have some more artwork to share a little later tonight, so I hope you'll check back!
