bill and i are on our way to scrapdoodles in fredericksburg VA this weekend. it is going to be a jam packed weekend! we always have fun at this store and we are looking forward to it!
i even made a new special travel tote bag to carry all my sketch and design things i want to take with me for the long drive. i love it...canvas, color and words = perferction!
i used a bunch of my new iron ons. i chose the blue baby's breath and pink long stem flowers because i really liked the way they layered together.
and do you see those quote stamps? they are a part of my new stamp line with Unity, (pre-production samples..such a tease, i know) look for these to be coming out REALLY soon with Unity. they stamp flippin awesome on canvas!!!!
................................................................................................................
just because you can...
corinne delis one of my very favorite friends from holland emailed me yesterday to tell me about her friend Kayla Aimee. if you have a few moments this weekend take the time and read her blog post. she is trying to help a friend acheive a dream and collecting votes i am all for that! but you can decide for yourself...check it out!
Love the tote bag and can't wait to see it in person tomorrow! Remember to pack my wood house and square! :) Drive safely!
