Eileen Hull Sizzix Oct Release Party – Hats, Charms, Earrings, Books, and more . . . Oh My!
Hello All, Some exciting inspiration coming your way. This Eileen Hull Sizzix release was designed with journaling in mind, but the sky is the limit! I focused more on projects, but this is a great release for art journalers as well! If you have never journaled before, this collection of seven products is a great place to start! If you have been journaling for a while, you will want to add these items to your stash- the pieces are very versatile and will coordinate with many of the other dies you may already have.

Using your Gel Prints in Projects
During this month of October, Gel Press is doing a fantastic print-a-long. Check out all the fun HERE. Different mediums, techniques, and substrates, this fun Print-a-long, is sure to inspire you. Gel Press shared a video today that I creaded using fabric as texture. What do you do with the prints? For me, all kinds of things, but in this case, I created a jewelry bezel with the print. The print adorns the inside of the resin bezel seen below. Of course I had to use some pink, as it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Additionally, I’ll be sharing some projects for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the Gel Press ribbon…

Identity ~ As We Enter a New Year
As I had a little quiet time this morning, I was thinking about entering the New Year and how important it is to remember my identity.

Word of the Year – Good Expectations for 2015
This past week it was so appropriate that I received an early copy of Jewelry Affaire that contained an article and necklace tutorial on my word of the year for 2014. 2014 was a year of sadness, uncertainty, and challenge filled with some times of joy, accomplishment and celebration as well. My word of 2014 was TRUST and I created a necklace to remind me of just that. My word for 2015 is COURAGE and my verse, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men (and women) of courage; be strong.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13. I enjoy creating something as a reminder throughout the year of my word and goal. I want…

Boutique for a Cause
tis’ the season. I hope all had a lovely Thanksgiving. I did although I have been struggling with a bug. But I’ve been trying to push through it and I’m gearing up for a boutique that will be held at Voyager’s Church in Irvine on Saturday the 6th. It will be a wonderful day of inspiration both while singing some carols and listening to a funny, lighthearted speaker. I’m hoping I may be able to raise some funds so that our sweet girl can participate in a trip to Washington D.C., where her chorale group will compete as well as a trip to Costa Rica ~ she was chosen by…
