This weekend is flying by!

This Tuesday we will celebrate Nancy Yoshimoto's birthday!

Today's card is filled with tons of Tim!

Can be used for a birthday, wishes for a good trip, 

enjoy the journey or how about sent with love, just to name a few.

We will be blending with distress inks, die cutting and stamping and

using distress markers on the blue print airplane stamp.

I have watched several video's on using the markers but of course the best by far is from Tim himself.

You can see the video here, well worth it.

Basic class kit plus

water brush/blending pen

scissors

we'll be using the following

faded jeans, fired brick & brushed corduroy distress ink pads

ink applicator and foam blending tool

faded jeans, antique linen, vintage photo & tea dye distress markers

you can bring these if you have them.

Enjoy the rest of your day and see you on Tuesday,

I'm back, actually I'm writing this before I leave, ha-ha.

Here's hoping I return relaxed and serene.

Today's card utilizes a Hero Arts framlits set, 

I have had it for quite some time but one of the stamps never saw ink.

I love stamps and matching dies, remember when we used to cut by hand.

I used my trusty water color pencils and we are coloring on craft card stock. 

Bring your basic class kit

and

water pen or blender pen

black edger

coloring medium if you want

Can't wait to see you all!

I had a very hard time focusing on a card for today, so I decided to go with what's in my heart.

Life is too short and we need to cherish every moment,

fleeting like a butterfly.

So I hope you will join me today and maybe experience the catharsis that I did.

( the purging of the emotions or relieving of emotional tensions, 

especially through certain kinds of art)

Class Kit

black edger

I used distress stains and have limited colors,

if you have any and would like to bring your favorites, feel free.

More News

I apologize to all of you that I didn't get this information out to, including the loss of Glenn Frey.

Many of you know long time friend Barbara Goldsmith from many classes over the years, 

She has lost someone very near and dear to her, more information can be seen here.

If any one is need need of her address email me.

I also received this from a neighbor of Sylvia Brozic, I have emailed her back and if I receive any more information I will share it.

"Your friend and card member, Sylvia Brozic, has passed away. She had a heart attack on February 11, 2013. She went quickly after a short illness. My husband was taking her to an eye appointment and stopped breathing. He rushed her to the closest Lovelace urgent care on Ladera where she was revived. She had a few more episodes and was taken to the emergency room at Lovelace downtown. She had another episode there and the doctors tried to revive her for 15 minutes but couldn't bring our friend back. She died at 4:00 p.m.

As per her wishes, she will be cremated in the next few days and buried at Sunset Memorial. We don’t have an exact date but it will be in the newspaper soon. We plan on having a memorial for her there.

She left my husband, Michael and I as her Trustees. We lived across the street from her for the last 11 years. She had no family she spoke about, but always considered us and our family as her own.

We are also planning an Estate Sell at the end of this month and the beginning of April. Sylvia has a tremendous amount of crafts! I figure 3 rooms full and a garage full. While going through some her paper work I found the list of her Card Club friends and thought I would let you know of her passing. I think she would want you to know about the many craft items that will be available soon.

My prayers are with you all."

This month we will be celebrating Linda's birthday on the 19th.

She is unable to come to class this week.

Today's card is for my brothers birthday. 

I had this stamp on my desk and came home with some new water color pencils,

graphitint by Derwent. So I stamped the fish on a scrap, and fell in love with the colors.

Also sitting on a pile on my desk was cheese cloth, I planned to do a beach card with sea shells.

So changed gears and created this background piece which looks like fishing net. 

The catch of the day is proudly mounted with the net behind. 

I think my brother will like it.

Along with your basic kit please include

brown edger or ink pad

stamping foam

tweezers

vintage photo ink & foam blending tool

Stay warm & get inky!
