Weekend Update

Hey there. How are you guys doing this weekend? Well, I'm happy to say I'm having a relaxing afternoon, after an already busy start of the weekend. This morning was Sandy Hancock's Quarterly Demonstrator meeting at the Spaghetti Factory, which is in Duarte, CA. For those of you not local to the area, that's about 50 miles from my house. So, I got to start off my weekend with more driving! It was well worth it though. I definitely came back with lots of great ideas, and I was even asked to share some ideas for the Holidays. Here are a couple pictures of my display table {if you're a regular to my blog, you'll probably recognize a couple of things - wink}. Notice the wreath on the left? It's made out of 3 different Stampin'Up! ribbons tied around a Chipboard skeleton {It's the On Board Batch of Blooms chipboard pack in the SU! catalog}. I'll be posting the details of how I made this wreath sometime this week, so check back soon!
These are the swaps I made for the meeting - which I had shared on this post. I've really taken a liking to the pink Christmas card this season. Can you tell? So, that's a quick look at my table. I'll share more pictures from the meeting in my posts this week as well :)

Now, I want to share something non-stamping with you guys. Did I tell you guys how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband, who also loves to cook? Well, here's the dish we had last night - it was scrumptious!
It's Michael's Scallop Salad topped with parmesan slices, which had homemade croutons, and some yummy veggies - corn, red bell pepper, radish, and avocado. And he made his own dressing, too - a nice vinegarette with a splash of lemon juice. It truly was delish!

So, why do I digress about my husband's food? Well, my ultimate goal is to create a cookbook of his original recipes and publish it using the My Digital Studio! Now, if I get my act together, I can take pictures and put out say a dozen of his recipes to start with. Call it my pet project :) Since I haven't really photographed much food, it'll be good practice for me. So, on occasion, I may share some more of my hubby's creations with you on the good ol' blog :)

Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoy your weekend! I'll catch up with you guys later. Ciao!

Video Using Texturz and Embosslits

Ok, so for today's post, I decided to post this video of my Texturz and Embosslits demonstration from the Spaghetti Factory meeting, however, I do want to give the disclaimer that it wasn't rehearsed or anything, so bear with me in this rough cut of my debut video. This was video taped by Lorita, a fellow demonstrator who did a great job putting it together and editing it - she created videos for all the demonstrations! Anyway, the funny thing for me in my video is that I'm not a big fan of how my voice sounds...I've been told I sound like a cartoon character! Silly, huh...but true!?? Well, if you can get past the goofy audio and just watch the instructional aspect of it, I think it's a decent tutorial. Hopefully you'll find it helpful!



Have a great day!

Samples from the Spaghetti Factory Meeting

As I had mentioned on my Monday post, I attended the Spaghetti Factory meeting this past weekend and I was amazed at all the awesome ideas and samples I saw there! Today I'm sharing three pictures of a few projects that I loved! Here they are....

This first picture is a card holder basket created by our fearless leader, Sandy Hancock. This was made using one 12x12 sheet of paper! We got to create this as a make and take. Fun stuff! These next 2 photos are projects created by Heather Mills, who demonstrated lots of great ideas using the circle scissors. I can't wait to CASE both of these projects because I think they are just adorable! Not to mention, as you all know, I LOVE those birds (from the Cheep Talk and Good Friend stamp sets, and the Chipboard pieces too)!

Hope you enjoy these projects. Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day!
