October 18, 2011 First Blog Post

Hi everyone,

Hope all who visit are having a grand day! This is my first blog ever, so bear with me as I learn my way around.
A little about me:  I'm originally from Michigan. Go Red Wings! I'm married with two little boys who are the apples of my eye.  I've been crafting ever since I can remember in all types of mediums.  You name it I've done it. I'm a huge fan of Penny Black, Lili of the Valley, Sweet Pea, Elisabeth Bell, The Greeting Farm, Make It Crafty, Tiddlyinks stamps & so many more! And for those who know me, I'm completely addicted to Art Glitter.  Best glitter on the planet! Alas, I haven't had a lot of time for crafting though, with my boys & work.  I have just recently entered into the world of Copic markers and I have to say, "I absolutely love them!"  I just entered my first design challenge for Outlawz and I am super excited!  I'm so glad I joined. Awesome crafting community so many nice people!

This is a gorgeous Ching Chou Kuik stamp called "Pick A Pumpkin." You can get this and more images from www.Sweet Pea Stamps.com
Supplies used:
Copics:  R0000, R07, R08, R20, R22, YR02, YR04, YR07, YR09, YG61, YG63, YG67, YG03, YG06, YG25, BG10, E0000, E000, E00, E11, YR0000, YR000, YR00, YR15, YR16, YR21, YR24, & YR61. I buy my copics and other art supplies at www.dickblick.com. I used the Sizzix Bigz frame #3 for the outline, I used mulburry paper for the purple & light frame and the purple border. I stamped the image onto Georgia Pacific cardstock (Walmart) with a Big & Juicy ink pad from Ranger (Joann's). I quilled the pumpkin myself. Hooray! I purchased the  quilling supplies and instructions from www.QuilledCreations.com. I was also going to add some glitter from www.ArtGlitter.com, but ran out of time. I, however, used their (Art Glitter's) designer dries clear glue with stainless steel tip, which makes glueing anything a breeze. I feel like the poster child for most of the products I used. LOL. Well, I'm going to sign off for now and hopefully I will get time to keep this blog going. Please email me anytime with questions and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Pamela
