No, it’s not real! This is another kind of art that I love. I love tattoo’s, however I am a BIG chicken and do not have a REAL one. I want one, but just can’t seem to get past the "it might HURT" part. Instead, I got a henna tattoo when we went to the Renaissance festival this weekend for Father’s Day. We had a blast as always. I love seeing the pirates and all the crazy people dressed up! Next year, I think I want to dress up as well! Maybe I will get crazy and get a REAL tattoo by then. You never know with me. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Happy 5th Year Anniversary!
Whooo Hooo!!! June is an exciting month for me. I’m celebrating 5 years with Stampin’ Up! It really doesn’t seem that long! It has been 5 GREAT years! Last night I held an Anniversary party at my house. We had such a great time. I had both customers and demonstrators here. They received a little goodie bag and made 5 projects. I acted like Martha Stewart and made some great goodies. Overall it was a fabu time. Here is pic of the cute little goodie bags they received.
Then tonight I held another canvas class. This has been a class I have been doing for a LONG time. My home is covered with them and tonight I finished one with my customers. I have always loved scrapbooking and this class is basically scrapbooking on canvas. Or as I call it, "Scrapbooking on the Wall."
So, the big question? "How do you do that?" I like to get my canvas from JoAnns. The best canvas to get is the brand "Scrapbooking on the Wall". You can try http://www.scrapbookwarehouse.com/ Their canvas is just pulled very tight and great to work with. However, when doing a class… they never have enough on hand that I need. Here are the basic materials you will need:
12×12 canvas
Matte Finish Modge Podge
8×10 photo professionaly printed (do not use a photo off your printer)
Embellishments of choice
You will notice in the canvas I did tonight, I did not use Stampin’ Up! paper. The ONLY reason I didn’t is because I prefer thicker designer paper. Basicgrey is typically the paper of choice. Stampin’ Up!’s designer paper is a little thinner and tends to cause more bubbles with the modge podge than I like. The rest of my canvas products are Stampin’ Up! I just LOVE our rub-ons and they work perfect on the canvas. I also used our chipboard and sponged it with Groovy Guava ink and stamped on the two letters with a stamp from Carte Postal in Purely Pomegranate ink. I love how that turned out. At the top of the canvas I used our wide Twill Tape and tied it in a bow. Then I used our chocolate twill tape ribbon that is in the mini and also added a label from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. I would love to do a video tutorial on this, but I just don’t know how. Maybe my friend Christy can help me. *wink, wink*
Thats all for tonight. Have a fabulous night!!!!

CONGRATS!
I just loved Kristina Werners Congrats card that she made for her MACM earlier this week and I had to try and duplicate it. I love how simple her cards are. I always feel like I need to keep adding embellishments to make the card "look" good. I love how Kristina can make a simple card always look GREAT!
All products are Stampin’ Up!
Have a fabulous Thursday!
