Good morning friends,
I have had a bunch of questions on the tiles and I thought I would answer some of them. I wish I had time in my day to make the beautiful tutorials that others do, but it just can’t happen. However, I can tell you how to make them. 
First, you need to purchase the tiles at your local Hardware store. I use Tumbler tiles. These are approx. 6×6 in size. Love this size. They cannot be a slick surface. These tiles once finished will be used more for decorative purposes and not a coaster. Pick your stamp set and then use CRAFT ink to stamp. Once you have stamped, use Glassy Glaze over the tile. Tap off excess. Pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 min and BAM they are done. Let them cool and then add some fun accessories to them for added fun. These are TERRIFIC for gifts and beautiful in your home. If you have any questions, just email me directly. I hope this helps!
Have a FABULOUS day!!!

That is what I feel like these days. I have been one happy stamper! Just stamping away in my room. I just have a quick minute to post, but thought I would share a little project with you. I have been working on some new tile samples for an upcoming class. This is my favorite one!
I love the Fabulous Flowers stamp set. I used the new ribbon from the Holiday mini and it just screams beautiful. What a fun gift to give a friend.
The Snowflake Tile I used our Encore pads and Night of Navy. This would also make a great gift during the holidays. These are so much fun to make and always make you go WOW after you see them complete.
Have a GREAT day tomorrow and thanks for stoppin’ by!!

Time for a scrapbooking page. I taught a class today and thought I would share the layout. This class is a series of classes that I teach each month. It is the basics of scrapbooking and todays class focused on patterned paper. I love patterned paper and I love how Stampin’ Up!’s paper coordinates together nicely. Really there is no thinking involved, you just get it out and play. Very fun.
This layout uses the Outlaw designer paper and textured cardstock. Wow do I love that paper. I made mountains out of the photo corner punch in the right hand corner. Worked perfectly. You will notice that I stamped on transperancy with the big round stamp in the Wanted set with White stazon and then punched out using my scallop punch. I then punched another scallop in Really Rust and mounted the transperancy onto that and used one of our REALLY cool big eyelets for the center. Lots of fun things on this page and I hope you enjoy!

Chipboard is one product I can’t get enough of!!! I love the way you can use it on ANYTHING. This is a card I made using the chipboard from the On Board Blossoms kit. Everyone loves making the ladybug with the Pick a Petal set, so why not add it on the chipboard. I also used another fun set, Baroque Motifs to add a little swirly behind the ladybug. Just too stinkin’ cute. We made this card at my Chipboard class last month. Boy did we have fun and hope you enjoy!!

Howdy friends,
I’m alive, and well and stamping like a mad woman. I am unable to share at this time only because my photo editing software hasn’t been loaded on my new COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooooooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooo!!!! I am so excited. Russ got sick of me taking up his laptop all the time, so now I have my own. This really rocks my world. I hope to be able to start loading lots of fun cute things by the end of the week. In the meantime, I am steadly working on classes for the next couple of months and enjoying it. My Fall line up looks to be a lot of fun.
On a personal note, Brandon started school last week and loves it. Alexis starts preschool in a couple of weeks and I am sad. She is sooooooo excited. It will be very different around this house without her. 
I hope each of you are doing well, and hang tight… I will show something fun soon.
