I have looked forward to going back to CKC since Sept 11, 2010. It was canceled last year due to the flooding, but back this year better than ever. I decided after last time that I wanted MORE classes. This year, I took 9. Well, I took 6 there and brought home the class kits for 3 more (I had arrived late due to work). I would like to share some of the items that I have been working on.
These photos are from only 5 of the 9 class kits. I am still working on the others. You don't get to finish the projects in class (except the layout one). There is a flip side, I can come home and add paint and TONS of ink, which is exactly what I did.
I did NONE of the design layouts for these.

Mojo Monday 202
This weeks Monday Monday was a must do for me. I loved the little triangle elements from the first glance. Here is what I came up with....I hope you like it.
word stamp by Technique Tuesday
Party stamp by Inkadinkadoo
Patterned paper by K&Co
all card stock from my scrapbin
ink by Tim Holtz Tea Dye
scallop punches by Stampin UP!!!
Limited supplies
What do you do when you only have the following:
one sheet of Bazzil red 12x12 cardstock
one sheet of Green 12x12 cordinations cardstock
one sheet 8.5x11cream cardstock
and one 12x12 citronella K&Co paper?
And that is ALL you have paper wise...you may use inks, embellishments, whatever as needed but you may not use any more paper, not even from your scrapbin!
That was my challenge today and I think I did ok given the materials that I limited myself too. I even made it harder for me, I could not open any cabinets, so I limited myself to no buttons, no wires, no thread, but I did have paint, flowers and ink.

CKC
Here I am gearing up for CKC in Nashville. This will be my second trip, but I am signed up for twice as many classes.
I am signed up for Out of the Box, IN Bloom, Life is a Journey all by Technique Tuesday (looking forward to these); Think Ink and Happiness is in the Details, Bling it on ; Totally Awesome Layouts by the Paper Loft; and 30 minute layouts by Prima. There is still one more TT class that I am considering adding.
Anyway, I am making ATC in hopes that I will be able to trade with other craft folks. You can look back on some of my previous postings and see some of them...and right here I will show you the last ones. Next stop CKC!!!!
Thank you for viewing my cards, if you would like to trade I am game!

Family secrets |
Lavendar Blue, Dilly Dilly
One of my favorite movies as a child was the fabulous, Summer Magic starring Hailey Mills. The rich cousin comes to live with Hailey and her family and causes all types of problems mainly by being a snob. It was a fantastic story (at least to a 9 year old) and featured this little song. No wait, the song wasn't little, it went on forever and ever. Even as a child who loved musicals I thought this song was too much. Sung brilliantly by Burl Ives, is just went on for much too long.
Fast forward to 2011, I was just listening to the song on a Disney cd just the other day. And the then I popped open the CR84FN challenge and there were colors that instantly made me think of that song. So there I was back to the front porch with Burl Ives...
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so
Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.
Simple lyrics for an old classic little song.

I think that my creations are a little more exciting. I made many different things today because I wanted NO scraps. I am trying hard not to put any more scraps in that bin until I thin it out a bit.
