MDS blog hop - New goodies and a Survey

I'm still head over heals for Twitterpatted....run grab this download if you haven't already!
Something I thought was worth sharing with all you MDS hoppers is how easy it now is to find new downloads every Tuesday!  Check out the new page organized by date... Super EXCITED over here! Can you tell?

I get that question a ton how can I see all the downloads for the week quickly - Or browse other weeks I have missed? Go to Stampinup.com, click the store link on the top right (not shown above), then from the left side select Digital Downloads, lastly Newest Downloads....easy as 1,2,3!

Al-righty, here's my page with the Twitterpatted download. There is a picture of the download, in all it's glory, on the post from earlier this week, just keep scrolling.

I "borrowed" the layout and was reminded about adding multiple photos in a punch from a recent blog post on www.mydigitalstudio.net. You really need to go there often. Just sayin' - I get some much from that site!

I've made a quick video showing you how to use Heatger Summer's technique of adding multiple punches to a photo. Just so you know the whole story, she discovered this after Leah made a beautiful layout that took her DAYS and then asked if anyone on mds.net know of a better way. Here came Heather to the rescue. She played and found a super quick solution and share it with us all!
XOXO, Heather!!!



I'm working on some changes for 2012 but I need to know what you want first! Please take one of the surveys below if you'd like to give me your 2 cents. I'd really like to hear what you think!

Let's start 2012 off right!

Where still in the 1st month of 2012 so NOW's the time to work on this years album. It'll be a year in review album, all ready to go, so as life happen snap a picture (even if it's on your phone) to help remember a few of each month's activities.

 The inspiration came for the great Cindy Shuster and I think she got it from mydigitalstudio.net, but that's what Designing is all about, seeing and idea and running with it!

MDS BLOG HOP - NEW YEAR!!!

Hey guys, so I wanted to show you something else I made with printing on fabric and a few of the things I learned along the way. I decided that since I had fallen in love with my sisters sewing machine... Yes, I know, MANY times I've said I'd never sew but it's easier then I expected and I love it :) Oh back to the story. I decide while I had her machine I was going to make tons of coffee cozies and I did. About 50 actually! This was one of my favorites so I kept it....hehehehehe

If you are going to try and print on fabric please keep reading! After printing on the fabric for the last post I had an ah ha moment and decide to make a template in MDS to make photo cozies!  I used oval and square punches to create the template and then I used Heather's technique to add more then one photo in a punch. We'll be playing with this technique at our digital class on the 14th - I know you'll love it!  I hope by looking at the photo below you'll see how I made my template....let me know if you have questions! 

WARNING: You need to buy 8 1/2 x 11 Fabric sheets for your printer. They can be found in the Big Box store with the quilting stuff! I printed on lots of my own homemade fabric sheets and while it worked great I made some projects and then they got wet....well I'm sure you can guess it.... they bleed. So I looked for hours on the internet to see how I could "cure" the fabric and all the tricks failed me. So my sweet hubby took me to the store (love him) to see if I could BUY something and yes, they carry printable fabric sheets! Thank you Lord, because I needed to make these for Christmas. I'd spent the time to create them in MDS and by golly they had to work!    

Here's the finished project and my family loved them :)  They are reversible so I could get a sister picture and the grandkids on these for my parents! 

The fabric feels like canvas it's super durable and WASHABLE! YAY :) 

Ok here's another card with the edgelits from the new mini catalog and the rest is all FREE Sale A Bration goodies coming on Jan 24th!

 Hop on over and see what the others have to share!

New Year, New Catalog and New FREE stuff

2012 is going to be exciting for so many reasons. 

First, I started a quite time again. I've been missing it for so long. When I spend time with Him He speaks and I desire to listen, so that's a HUGE step in the right direction. My focus is changing which will be a good thing for everyone around me. ;)

I started stampin' 9 years ago and joined Stampin Up! to get a discount because I wanted it ALL. Sound familiar? And even though I've been teaching stamping, as my full time job for last 3 years, I'm still my best customer. Well this new catalog will be NO exception! I want it ALL.

Oh, and you have to come over and play with the new FRAMELITS and EDGELITS - both used in the card below :)

I've sent out TONS of mini catalogs so please let me know if you didn't get your copy :)

MDS Blog Hop - Holidays

Here's another gift that I've ben dying to make since I've been sucked in by Pinterest. Here's my Pinterest page. Almost a year ago or more I saw Heather print on fabric and was in AWE but I recently found this amazing tutorial so now I can't wait to try it!!

Here's my inspiration picture

getting excited about the finished project....but I still need to buy my fabric. 

I'll be making 2 of the same size pillows for my in-laws one with our family and one of Chris' brother. 

I'm in love with the NEW Eclectic Overlays that came out on Tuesday - a must have download and they are the size I needed!

Autumn is my favorite season

Which is why I felt the need to jump in a pumpkin patch,

Primo Levi Twittering With Nixon In Ear Tribute Painting

A portrait of Italian chemist and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi twittering with Richard Nixon in his ear-



Primo Levi is pictured against a red and gold background; the gold behind representing the sepia-toned idyllic youth of his Italian childhood with the red representing both the vitality of his coming accomplishments and the conflict of a world at war. Richard Nixon, emerging from his thoughts, is symbolic of the fact that Primo, like Nixon, was haunted by memory and sought to come to terms with his earlier political trauma with globally achieved personal narrative authorship.

The 21,668 number is a reference to great American League baseball player Jimmy Foxx, who also fought personal challenges and adversity during World War II. Jimmy Foxx was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 1992 film A League Of Their Own. Jimmy Foxx was born in Sudlersville, Maryland, which has the zip code of 21668. It is also an allusion to the fact that Primo Levi continued to speak proliferously regarding his loss of freedom ( as seen in the mangled 'Twitter' bird icons) and makes the statement that Mr. Levi would make good use of that form of communication today.

I Know What Girls Like...

New Makeup, Jewelry, and Shoes of course!

Missoni for Target Pumps

I'm not a huge fan of the Missoni signature zigzag pattern, but these pumps are a nice, toned down alternative. My mom picked them up at Target - I can't believe she actually got her hands on them! The designer collections at Target are big around my hometown, and usually sell out in minutes. I like these shoes, because they're good for every day at work, and have what I like to call a "commuting heel" - a bit on the thicker side and lower than most of my other shoes. I think they're pretty cute!

Clinique Lid Smoothie 8 Hour Eye Colour

So I really wanted to try this, as I have an ongoing obsession with all long lasting makeup. However, I don't really care for the shade I picked out. I generally go for bronze/taupe/beige shades for the lids, and this one is so light that it's almost...white. Like hippy flower child white. It reminds me more of a highlighter than an eyeshadow. Totally miserable, right? Aside from the shade itself, the formula is nice. I applied the lid smoothie this morning before work - 4 hours later no sign of creases. I also like the cooling, metal applicator on the tube - it feels niiiice.

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Partial to Pink

OK so this shade is nothing new, but I do love it! I like how Cremesheen glides on your lips - it's not sticky whatsoever and gives you a luscious, fluffy pout. This shade is natural, so it's nice with a heavy eye or if i'm being lazy and don't feel like applying lipstick =)

Unique Bracelet

I got this piece at a consignment shop in Jersey called All Things Consignment. I like going to these types of stores and seeing what interesting things I can dig up. This shop has an amazing jewelry selection (among many other things) and I had to practically pull myself out of the store after taking home 5 items. The store has an array of vintage, handmade, and custom made jewelry that is just so different, not to mention inexpensive. Definitely worth a look if you live in the area!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and Happy Makeup Monday!

Haunted House Jack O Lantern!

Completely not makeup related whatsoever, but I feel like it deserved its own post! My boyfriend and I went pumpkin picking yesterday, and decided we wanted to undertake the project of carving one of the big pumpkins. And this was the result! I think it came out a lot better than we expected, and it was a ton of fun to do. We used a stencil and pumpkin carving kit that we bought for a few bucks at the pumpkin patch. Definitely got us in the Halloween spirit!

How was everyone's weekend? =)

A Painting of U of M Professor Bill Gleason With A Dick In His Ear

A portrait of University Of Minnesota Professor Bill Gleason with a Dick in his ear, as promised-



After having nothing to do with the conservative oriented Minnesota Organization of Bloggers for a number of years, surprised I was to discover that University of Minnesota Professor Bill Gleason was pontificating regarding my past association with such on Twitter, believing that the very mention of my name can be weilded as a tool to smear and embarrass their fine organization, which is probably true. The Prof. apparently has an obsessive hatred of all things MOB, a subject he can't bring himself to stop twittering about not that he would like to. Years after the campfire died and the embers have long been kicked out, the Prof. is hotly alerting the world to the fact that I am a 'smutty cartoonist' while anyone who cares knows that I have successfully abandoned cartooning and have become somewhat established online as a 'smutty painter.' 

To make a long story short, I asked the Professor, who refers to me as cakes,  if he minded if I painted a portrait of him with a dick in his ear, but he has failed to answer my query.  So I did so anyway and the result can be seen above.  This marvelous memento is for sale to the first person who can cough up $75.  It measures 8 by 10 inches and is painted in both acrylic and oil on sheet canvas. It would look very nice in a frame like this, but larger.

Greta The Kitten No Kill Shelter Cat Pancake Portrait

I've painted a few cat pancake portraits entirely from my imagination recently, so I thought I'd swing back in the opposite direction and paint a cat from a photo.

Greta was recently adopted from the San Diego Cats no-kill non-profit animal shelter before I had the opportunity to complete her promotional painting-

Eclipse Bandaid Kitty Pancake Painting

A painting of a cat with a pancake on his head. There's a lunar eclipse in the background, and the pancake features butter in a shape that suggests a bandaid. The latter is probably because I began the painting while receiving my third round of rabies shots, which, for some reason, is taking place in the pediatric ward of a hospital so they always give me these colorful and fun bandaids to wear.



The thumbnail on the Ebay auction shows the pre-revised image. This is a much nicer painting of a cat with a pancake on his head now.
