Every Artist Needs a Sketch Pad

My Li'l Bear and I both have birthdays in August...she turned 11 recently...(notice I'm not telling you how old I turned)

And for her birthday she asked for canvases and paints and brushes which I had so much fun shopping for... Never stop creating and exploring sweetie!  Remember, you are God's masterpiece - beautiful!

And some time back I made a little sketchbook for her (she's constantly drawing all over the place) using Graphic45's old Renaissance Faire collection. (which has since been filled)

You might like to make one too or rope in a little buddy to do this with you:

September Class Sneaks!

There are lots of exciting things coming up in September...
one is a secret....shhh...(tell you on August 31)

And the others are not so secret.  Here are three album classes that I designed for September's class.

one album's bound with rings and has pull tabs: (CS - TODAY)

one is 12X12" and has an altered cover and 20 pages all to be completed in a 4 hour class (CS - ALBUM)

and another is handsewn with twill strap hinges, button sewn spine and lots of vintagey bits. (CS-REMINISCE)

sorry if the sneaks are a little fuzzy....I snapped these in a hurry with my phone so they aren't fantastic. But all the albums are at the store already so you can see them up close in person and that's always better right? :)

See you in September!

Simply Sweet

Here's a little simple project that I made using the lovely Little Darlings collection  from G45....kept everything clean and neat and decided not to do fussy cutting so that it's got a simple patchwork style.

The Graphic45 smaller patterns work great for this. :)
