SMU pictures- soon, I promise!

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. It's been kinda of a crazy week. I promised my SMU ladies I would have pictures from my class posted earlier this week, unfortunately, the pictures are on my daughters camera and when I finally have time to put them on... she's out and so is her camera. I promise to have them by the weekend!!

Sheila's June SMU class

Ok guys, UR seeing this layout before it even gets to the store (which will be later today) This was so much fun - I just love this photo, I've used it several times - it's so colorful! This will be my other June 20th SMU Heidi Swapp layout ~ complete with acetate letters, doodling and your own handwriting (don't be scared to use your own handwriting - it will bring back good memories for others in the future) I still love to see my dad's handwriting now that he's gone - it was so unique! This will be fun - so be sure to sign up soon!

Ok, here's a sneak preview of my June SMU class- I will be doing 2 layouts in Heidi Swapp style with a little Funk thrown in , of course! This is the first layout. I should have the second one posted in a few days.
The June 9th fundraiser crop is filling fast- reserve your spot today ~ We have a great group of scrappers signed up already- a FUN time in the making - I CAN'T WAIT!! We will have vendors from Stampin' Up, Cropkick girl Creations, ScrapMasters and Jen Otto from Memory Works. If you haven't seen Memory Works, check it out at: www.memory-works.com. I will post it on my favorites, 'cause it's definitely about to be!!

Went scrapping today with Becky at ScrapMasters and had fun with all the girls - took a few photos- of course! Crazy Scrappers! I think the glue is getting to them!

Just scrappin' stuff

I love these stamps made by 7Gypsies- they make very clean, crisp images with a simple touch - no ink mess and... an 1-1/2 " circle punch cuts them out perfectly for tags or whatever - they are soooo much fun! I received my irridescent paint from My Tattered Angels - they are much thinner than I thought they would be and very translucent. I was hoping for more opaque, but they give a nice shimmer to things. Oh, I almost forgot, my new business cards came today- I will post one for you to see- Happy Scrappin!

I am just a blogging fool tonight! This is just a peek at the album I'm making for my office of the trip we took to New York! You can't tell from this photo, but the picture is printed on cotton twill PhotoFabric by Crafter's Images- OMGawd... totally awesome stuff!! It comes in a roll in the fabric embellishment section of JoAnn's !!

Thank you Brie ( & Allie) for the blog and photo resizing lessons- it really helped!!

Allie got her pic in the Havre de Grace Record newspaper- too bad that wasn't a legal check there Al! Allie says, "oh well, I kept her from scoring!" That's Allie in the left pic in the white jersey- her friend Tarrah is on the right!

Ok guys, I am in total creative mode- watch out- you will definitely need to check out my June SMU which will be in Heidi Swapp style; complete with masks, stamps and ghost embellishments- As soon as I get my samples into the store I will post them online. Just feel sorry for my total neat freak husband- he says he is going to put a sign on my scrap room door: ENTROPY EXPERIMENT IN PROGRESS!

Happy Mother's Day to all my mother friends!! I had a good Mother's Day, even though Scott is away and Allie had to work. Denny & I went hiking (and a little fishing) in Gunpowder State Park. I caught the biggest fish (he will tell you different - don't believe him!) The weather was great and about the time we finished, Allie had gotten off work early because they were overstaffed and we went out for dinner- all in all, just about a perfect day!

Harford Tech Prom Night

Check out the prom dresses for this year- I thought only Allie picked a bright dress, but they were ALL like that. We just took these pictures about an hour ago- don't they all look beautiful- I hope they all have a great (& SAFE) time tonight! They all went on a converted Greyhound bus- gorgeous inside, it even has hardwood floors. We call it "the Party bus"!








By the way, today is National Scrapbook Day- Happy scrappin' to all you scrapbookers- don't forget to sign up for my fundraising crop on June 9th- spots are filling up fast! It sounds like it will be a FUN group and I have a lot of door prizes to give out- I am really looking forward to it! Don't miss it!

May ~ SMU

These are the layouts I will be teaching at the May SMU (ScrapMasters University) class on May 23rd- Hurry & sign up today- these layouts are fun and easy!

Hey- For all you who remember- about a year and a half ago I helped Jim Litke design talking Toilet and storm drain characters for an environmental movie - well, it is now airing on the Harford cable network & I actually got my name in the credits. Below is the schedule of when it airs:
Storm Drains & Turtle Games
(15 Minute Video)

AIRING in MAY, 2007
Mondays at 3:00pm
Tuesdays at 11:30am
Saturdays at 9:00pm

COMCAST Channel 21
CLEARVIEW Channel 7

Presented by
The City of Aberdeen

Storm Drains & Turtle Games is an unusual and humorous chain of events that
explains to viewers about storm drains and their purpose. The action starts
with interviewer, Ebb Floodwater, on the street asking people �Where does
the rain water go when it enters the storm drain ??� To which an assortment
of interesting (but incorrect) answers are offered. Enter Shelly, the
adventurous and determined turtle, to the scene to provide her perspective
while she travels and encounters talking toilets, chattering storm drains
and the dastardly Cigarette Butt Monster. Throw in some excitable frogs
(fans of Shelly) and a stray golf ball and you have an unexpected episode of
action and environmental education. Storm Drains & Turtle Games is a
presentation suitable for all ages.

It's Tuesday- I've got errands to run for the princess of the house- T-shirts for tonights game and a boutonniere for the prom on Sat. By the way everyone- KUDOS to my very talented friend & co-worker Brie who just landed a Disney internship- how wonderful!! I wish her much success!
