I call bullshit
Anyway, if anyone happens to see this page anywhere, in someones house or wherever, let me know. I would really love to fuck this person up, but in reality I'll probably just write: "MEAN PERSON" in chalk on the sidewalk outside his or her house and run for my life...
What is really bad is that we were trying to sell the entire comic as one series to a good collection, but now thats impossible. Man, this sucks...
What actually sucks the worst is that this person is forcing me to post this weak drawing on my blog twice! Bastard!
I did a studio tour this morning with a bunch of people from Toronto, I had a good time but I totally forgot to take a photo of them... Anyway, if anyone from that tour is reading this now, I would like them to know that they were great guests to have... It was sort of an ideal talk from my point of view, when people have a ton of questions it makes my part way for fun and simple...
Gotta be spontaneous
I hope I get to post on Friday since I'll be busy with finishing kits and also my Halloween treats to give to co-workers and friends...the pressure is on!
Another cute box
Then adhere the bottom flaps to close.
Here's what my finished box looked like. I used this cute Halloween ribbon I got from Fay last year...Thanks Fay! Remember this?!
I just love this stamp "Treats Only Please"...is that cute, or what!? If you create one of these boxes, don't forget to post a link so I can see it!
LCWC #15
Reindeer Pillow Box treat
Well, remember I said that I bought a whole bunch of goodies from J's Knicknacks on Friday? I love everything I bought!! Here's a cute little treat I made by cutting out this pillow box with acetate. The pillow box is a sizzix die and I believe the acetate is actually one of those clear report covers I got from Fisher. The die is from a set of 4 sizzlets called Winter Set #3 and includes dies of a Santa, a Snowman, a Penguin and this cute Reindeer!
I didn't have any Christmas candies, so I stuffed in a pack of sixlets and then wrapped around some 5/8" red grosgrain ribbon. It looked kind of blah, so I added a scallop circle punched out using my marvy mega punch (Kiwi Kiss CS). Final touch was to add some gold cord. I already die cutted and assembled all 4 characters, so I will be posting them as soon as I'm done creating something with them!
Come back tomorrow for another fantastic LCWC! It's a color challenge!
Cute little Liesel
While shopping at Cute Stuff one day, I found this stamp and just had to buy it so I could make Donna a bunch of cards. Here's one of the cards I made for her. The ribbon is kind of big, but I like it anyway...
Hope you are all having a nice and relaxing Sunday. I went shopping at J's on Friday and bought alot of new things, so I will be playing with them and hopefully be able to post some of the projects that I made with them.

Here is a side view of the box. Paper is by Basic Gray (remember this paper girls?).
Hope you all have grand plans for a fun weekend! I'm cutting paper for my giftcard holder kits. I have only a few kits left if anyone is interested. Please email me to let me know!
My friend, Frank
Of course, I am not the originator of these cute treat holders. I got the whole idea from Cambria Turnbow's blog called Stamp a Little Love Baby. Cami has some super duper ideas and tutorials - go check out her blog HERE! She made Frankie and Frankette...she was really cute, but I thought that mass producing Frankies was a job in itself! haha! Thanks to Wini who gave me a hand on Saturday to finish up these guys...
Don't they look so cute all huddled together?? Will the REAL Frankie please come forward? Thanks for dropping by today!
Aloha Friday is tomorrow and I will be sharing a cute bag using one sheet of paper that Joy taught us how to make.
Halloween Hello Kitty
After I got this cute rak from Joy with the Halloween Hello Kitty on it, I knew I wanted to make a Halloween Hello Kitty using my Sizzix diecut.I used a thin chipboard to cut out the head only from this die (this die comes with the whole body and some overalls that she is wearing). It was easy to cut off the just the head portion. I know that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean :) I then cut out a witches hat (by hand, no diecut) to go on her head. Found this star punch which was just the right size!
Prints and Postcards Available
The prints are an edition of 50. You can see them here, here, and here.
The postcards come in packs of 10, and you can see them here. I sent some to my mom, and she liked them so maybe you will too. Ok, only the first half of that is true. I did send them to my mom, but when I asked what she thought of them she awkwardly changed the subject and it hasn't come up again...
oh joy...
SLICK 08
I'm in an art fair this upcoming weekend in Paris, SLICK 08. I'll be represented by the gallery I work with in Marseille, Galerie Dukan et Hourdequin. You can check out the link to the fair here.
Below are the drawings I did for it. I think it will be the last time I display grid drawings on their own, I think they are stronger when displayed alongside my other black and white work...
LCWC #14
Anyway This week, LCWC #14 is a sketch challenge, Jen created this neat and simple sketch for us to follow using our Hanna Stamps and no sentiment.Here is my take on the sketch. Sorry, but I had to add a ribbon even though the sketch didn't call for one :)
I applied some crystal effects in the coconut drink to make it look like liquid, but I guess the area is so small that it didn't show up in the photo. Again stickles on her skirt - it seems to work for me on this image but if you notice, I used a darker shade of green this week.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip (Sorry, forgot the name of the DSP as it was a scrap piece!)
Images - Hula Hanna (get them at Little C's!)
Image was colored with copic markers except for the Hanna's top, I used Regal Rose (SU).
Accessories: Stickles, crystal effects, flower punch, rhinestones, 5/8" regal rose grosgrain ribbon, Marvy Giga scallop oval punch
Please check out the creations from other design divas who played this week:
Jen, Maria, Ellie. Risa. Jean

Mahalo for your visit! Hello Kitty Halloween creation to be posted tomorrow!
OMG! What's up with blogger???
OMG! Today is LCWC #14 and I created a post last night for my take on this week's challenge. Well, this morning, all the photos on my post were gone as I went back in to "edit" and add in the links for the divas who are playing this week. I KNOW I saved, in fact, I always save several times while I'm drafting the post just to make sure, if you know what I mean! I am bummed. So sorry friends :(
I have had some problems with my blog (uploading, etc.) earlier...anyone else with problems?
Well, now that I am at work, I cannot pull up any photos of my card or the sketch since it is saved on my home computer, so I guess you'll all just have to wait til I get home from work to post my creation - boo hoo! I am so sad.
But since you are here, you might want to check out the creations by my fellow design team divas' blogs to see what they came up with this week!
Jen, Risa, Jean, Maria and Ellie... and don't forget to get all of the details and last week's challenge winner at Jen's blog, Pieces of Me...
Thanks for your visit, I appreciate you
show flicks
Zaks show was great, the response to it, and to our Road of Knives installation was encouraging...
My girlfriend Jamiyla came to visit me for a few days during the weekend as well, I hadn't seen her in a month so it was great! I won't see her for another couple months now...sadness. I miss her and the rest of my friends quite a bit...
ok, photos:
