For Sale…

For Sale…

I can’t resist a fabulous sale….. And now I have a big load of loot sitting on my living room floor. Brent just rolled his eyes at me when I stumbled home way after dark and asked him to help unload the car. LOL! Some of the loot has found its way to its new owners and the majority of this stuff is looking for a new home. 🙂 I bought a bunch of stuff for friends who couldn’t go…

Thoughts for Thursday – Faith

Thoughts for Thursday – Faith

This is one of my all time favorite quotes. It has helped me through a lot of difficult situations and choices that I needed to make. Sometimes all we need to do is just take that leap of faith…. the answers are waiting for us to make the first move. Inky Smiles! Erin

Sketch Challenge {004}

Just playing around with PSE again tonight… here’s a fun couple of sketches I came up with… I’ve offered a square version and a round version. Choose your favorite (or both) and let’s see what you can do with these sketches!

Sneak Peeks… Shhhhh!

Sneak Peeks… Shhhhh!

The things I have been working on this week are sorta “secret”, besides trying to feel better from whatever is bugging my body. (No, I’m not pregnant, that would require a real miracle.) I’ve been devoting all of my time to 6 very special cards for Round 2 of our most recent swap. Here are a couple of Sneak Peeks:

Doing it Digital

Doing it Digital

So I downloaded Photoshop Elements 5.0 this weekend because I ordered it from Amazon.com and I was super excited to get playing with it to learn a bit about it. It seems that most digital girls are using PSE and that a lot of digital kits are designed for use specifically with Photoshop/or PSE… so I took the plunge and bought it. If you buy on Amazon.com, you can get it for $114 or so with free Super Saver Shipping…

I am a slacker blogger….

I am a slacker blogger….

I apologize for not writing this week. I am officially a slacker blogger. My only excuse is that I have just been draggin bum all week and just feel exhausted and it’s been a long, long week at work. No particular reason for feeling crappy other than I think my body is telling me it’s time to rest. I have been working on some fun creative projects this week and hope to have something posted tomorrow (maybe even tonight) for…

Terri Howard’s FABULOUS Gift

Terri Howard’s FABULOUS Gift

The Fabulous Terri Howard woke up extra early the day I was supposed to see her to make this fab little book for me. I was pleasantly surprised to find it waiting for me in my mailbox with this Saturday’s mail. This is the coolest book. It’s made from the CTMH Road Trip paper kit and MyStickease and a Creative Imaginations chipboard book. It’s the cooolest thing!! I am HONORED that Terri would make something like this for little old…

California Adventure 2007

California Adventure 2007

Well friends, I am back from Tahoe. Can I just say that my vacation (combined with Brent’s business trip for city council) was an ADVENTURE!!! We were SUPPOSED to drive to Bridgeport, CA (tiny podunk town), stay one night, and then drive through Yosemite the next day on our way to see Terri Howard. Wellll…… we had a little car trouble (little meaning – the quick connect for one of the hoses completely blew out) and nowhere was open because…

Idea Book Round Up

Idea Book Round Up

So when I was a consultant, it was “no biggie” to have my Idea Books floating around my office because I used them all the time. Now that I am no longer a consultant, I don’t really need them floating all over my office or falling all over each other because they don’t stand up very well. A couple of weeks ago I took these CTMH idea books down to the local copy shop and had them ripped apart (the…
