It’s the weekend!! Woohoo!!
Several weeks back I received an email from Ellen Hutson – OH EM GEE! I’ve been lucky enough to have met her in real life, and adore spending time with her when I can (she knows all the best restaurants)! She invited me to be a guest designer on her ClassROOM blog – I was both floored and flattered, especially in light of all the brilliant designers that have shared their amazing talents with Ellen’s readers before me. Talk about freaked out! But I love a challenge, and I didn’t want to let her down. So I persevered . . . and I’m pretty stinkin’ happy with the end results. I hope you are, too.
Here’s a bit of a sneak peek of my project on Ellen’s CLASSroom Blog. I’d be ever so grateful if you’d head over there to get the skinny on how I created this baby and leave Ellen some love.
Oh, and before I go, I thought you might be interested to know that Ms. Ellen is offering up some amazingly generous blog candy which includes most of the products I used in my project (including what I think is THE BEST white pigment ink on the market today – this stuff is AH-MAZING!). How freakin’ sweet is that?! All you have to do is comment on this post here on my blog, any time between now and Tuesday, September 19th at midnight (Pacific Daylight Time). A winner will be chosen by the Random Number Generator. Thank you so much, Ellen!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back on Wednesday to share the name of the winner! In the meantime, have a great weekend!

I absolutely love the end result of this technique. I can't wait to try my hand at this myself. It would be so amazing to win some of the products you used to give this technique a whirl, over and over and over again. (That's how much I like it!!) The white ink is coming to my home one way or another. I've been looking for a good white for ages. Anyone want all the whites laying in my drawer that I didn't like? lol) Can't wait to see what else is in store for me on your blog. I will be following you for sure! Thanks again!!
