I wish i had a picture of the binding we had to sew. Nex time it will be easier and i will remember when kim says be sure to PULL the middle thread tight before moving onto the next row or else your pages will be loose-well--i have loose pages, BUT i love them as they tell the story. I chose this paper to cover the interior back board.

Mixing acrylics with gel medium and another neat medium(i e-mailed Kelly to get the name of it), that lightens and enhances any color you mix it with. Giant stamps Rock!

Tammy Moore (to the right of Kelly) also attended the class . I wanted to purchase everything on her body. An AMazing NEcklace she had made. Her more then cool clothes, and the most RAD purse I have ever seen! It would make a perfect diaper bag for KATY, mom of, my soon to be first grandson due in 3 weeks. It turns out she is also an accomplished artist and is teaching bVINTAGE MELANGE FABRIC BOOKTaught y Tammie Moore next Saturday and my fingers are crossed I will be attending that too. Do check out the link to see the pictures, which DO NOT do her book justice. She brought along her already complete book and I could have spent an hour just looking, touching, oooooing and ahhhing over it! The best part NO SEWING REQUIRED! I get pre-craft project excitment just thinking about the joyous experience to come!

Last Saturday,I was Blessed to be able to travel to a wonderful stamp* scrap store A Little Bizarre, in Lake ELsinore to attend Kelly Kilmers mixed media class A Women's Note Book.. I would have eaten a hearty breakfast if I had even a clue as to how jam packed this fast moving, technique packed class was going to be. I also would have has my Beloved Hubby Mr Bob stay for parts of it and be the photographer, so I could have shared more of the process with you
