Pen Tablet Class

For Christmas Jerry got me a Bamboo Craft Pen Tablet . So I signed up for Jessica Sprague's online class "Pen Tablet Basic's for Scrapbookers". I'm only on lesson three but I'm loving it! And if your reading my blog your looking at my handy work, I drew the martini in my banner! Ok, I'll admit it, I'm patting myself on the back . . . but It only took minutes to create my blog header. I'm thinking the more I practice the better I will get at the pen thing! If you ever get a chance to take a class from Jessica Sprague, do it! I love her teaching style and the great thing about her online classes verses some others are that you have access to your classes forever!

Valentine Glitter Cups

So for Valentines I made more glitter cups. I bought the small foam cups from the grocery store and made those for the kids classmates. Then I did the big ones for the Teachers. If you want to know how to do these just check out my Tutorial that I did for Halloween Glitter Cups!







And for the little glitter cups I put those in cellophane bags so it would be easier for the kids to carry to school.

I also made some valentine mussy tussy's . . . .





Now there are several different ways to make mussy tussy's but I found this tutorial to be the best or should I say easiest!

Cherry Pie Album

Here's a class description and some pictures for those of you are interested in taking my Life is Sweet, Cherry Pie Album Class. I'll be teaching it at the Hilltop Memories Annual Winter Retreat.

Life is Sweet, Cherry Pie Album

In this class we will be making a pie, but don't worry no baking skills required, our pie will be made out of paper!
When you lift up the top of the pie you will have 5 scrapbook album pages. The box underneath that the pie sits
on can be used to hold anything you want! This album is so cute just sitting on your counter for decoration.
In class I will teach you how to make the top of the album, your crust and filling then I will be giving you a pictured
instruction sheet and all the supplies you need to finish the inside of the album (the five pages) on your own,
outside of class. The hardest part of course is the outside. The inside is easy as pie! :-) Punt intended!

Supply List:

Paper Trimmer
Favorite Adhesive
Tim Holtz mini stapler
Distress Inks: Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy
Distress Ink Applicator

Optional:
Glossy Accents

*Note: if you don't have something on this list, don't worry you can use what I have!

Food

Everyone must see this short film, Food Inc. It completely changed the way I think about food. Its amazing the things we don't know about the food industry and the FDA!
I rented my copy from Netflix but I'm sure you could rent it from blockbuster's too.
Here's the main web page for the film
And here's the official trailer . . . .
