Here's some of what we got...

I've been busy doing everything you can imagine, and cutting up video footage from the cruise....I have no idea how I'll be able to cram in a whole week full of video footage into less than half an hour (that is my goal, but I'm not succeeding at the moment LOL). That is without pictures too!!! I have a ton of those as well. It is driving me nuts.

So, in the meantime (because it is taking me sometime to edit everything), I wanted to share some pictures of some of the products we received for participating on the cruise.... 

I definitely did not expect to receive so much product, on top of all the materials we got for the projects we made on board, but I was happy we did! Who doesn't like free stuff, right??? Some of the things we received just came out at Summer CHA (like the Prima Paper Pack and embellishments, the Kraft Core Cardstock etc.)... some are really hard to find...many stores seem to be sold out off some of them. We even got a Tim Holtz messenger bag that isn't even on the market yet. That was fabulous. It was hard trying to figure out how we were going to bring back home all the stuff they were giving us on each class day, but it was awesome!

The cruise sponsors were very generous, and also supplied a ton of product to be given away at the raffle, on the last class day of the cruise... even complete lines of product (like archival ink for example----you didn't get a few of them, if you won, you won ALL the archival ink pads!) It was insane! I didn't win anything at the raffle though, but my friend Dale did. I'm glad at least someone from my group got some extra goodies.

So this was my sneak peek for today. I have to get back to editing... there is so much video I need to go through...and email...I'm still not caught up with my email either! It definitely was a fun trip. Stay tuned!!!

Lindy's It's Fall Ya'll Contest!

Hello there!

I wanted to let you know that Lindy's Stamp Gang is having a great contest going on. It's the Lindy's It's Fall Ya'll Contest. The prizes are amazing, so check out all the rules on the graphic bellow and enter your creations for the opportunity to win. I can't wait to see what you make!

I'm baaaaaack!

Yes, I am back and totally exhausted! What a fun and active week I had. It was definitely fantastic getting to meet Tim for the first time and get spend so many days doing what we all love to do, get our craft on!

It was great to see how down to earth, patient, nice, and professional Tim was, as well as his entire crew. It was fun getting to meet so many other crafters at once ( I believe it was a group of around 170 people----we were divided into two groups, which was a great size for the type of classes we took---and to be honest, I didn't  even notice the large group, because most of time, it felt like each and everyone of us was getting one on one instruction and help from Tim himself. It was awesome!
I don't have much time to sit and write now, and to be honest have not even unpacked completely yet, even though I got home yesterday... After picking up my dog and cutie pie daughter, I ended up getting home at about 5pm, and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch and watch everything move around me LOL. However, I ended up cleaning my daughter's room,  tiding up her playroom, doing two loads of her laundry, and taking a 20 minute nap. Ha!
There's still tons I have to do today, and nothing is related to YouTube, blogging or organizing all of the amazing goodies we got from this trip. They gave us so much stuff!!!
I need to catch up with my work at home, before I start editing all the video footage from the trip, uploading all the pictures I took, and finishing up some of the class projects I wasn't able to complete while aboard the ship. I'd like to show you those when finished. They are AWESOME! Tim will be sharing his version of them on his blog soon too :)

I just wanted to stop on by here, and let you know I'm back home, but with lots to do, so it might take a while for me to get back to my routine and get uploaded all I have to share about this great cruise. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by!

Sneak peek time!

Hi everyone!

If you are reading this, I'm already on board the ship and sailing with the one and only, Tim Holtz!!!

It's sneak peak time again at The Paper Niche, so of course I had to share with you some sneaks of what's been brewing in my scraproom with the October Designer kit, (available on October 1st, at the Paper Niche's website).

Here they are! Can't wait to do the full reveal in October!

Thanks for stoping by!

I'm off!

The day has come and tomorrow I'm off on the Tim Holtz Caribbean Cruise!!! I cannot wait to step into this baby tomorrow afternoon!!!

I have no idea if I will sleep tonight, but boy I better, because I have to be ready for pick up at 7:00 a.m. I'm not a morning person as you all might already know, but I bet I'll be up before my alarm rings, because I'll be too nervous thinking I might oversleep! (of course if I get to sleep at all lol).

Once I'm back from my trip, I'll be sharing tons of my trip details over here. Wow! I can't wait to get started!!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Gecko Green is Back!!!

Hi there!

I am so excited to announce that Gecko is back!! Yes, you read right, the Desert Moon Gecko Green Glitz Spritz, (my all time favorite!) is back in the Lindy's Stamp Gang store. I am over the moon and swooning!!!! The spritz is all shimmer with no stain in it. Oh la la!

If you know me, follow my blog, and videos, you know I use this spritz all the time, and when I say all the time, I mean ALL THE TIME! I love the look it gives to my projects, and I'm sure that if you try it out, so will YOU! Want to see what it looks like? Click HERE.

Not only did I want to let you in on the news, but I also wanted to share a project with you, where I used it. I made a card using Magical Micas, one Starburst Stain and my Desert Moon Gecko Green Glitz Spritz. I'm really happy on how it came out.

I made a video tutorial on how I used the Stain, Micas, and Glitz together in the centerpiece of this card. You can find all the information on what colors I used, what I mixed together etc. Click HERE to watch. Hope you enjoy it!
