Hey all I have been really bad about getting my samples to the stores this month. I will be teaching in ElK Grove at Stamper"s Corner on Saturday and at Scrapbook Territory on Sunday. The Copic Class is the same at both stores: "Island Dreams"
This is a great blending class for both beginners and more advanced students. In Berkeley I am teaching Faux Cloisonne technique using Dreamweaver stencils, In Elk Grove I will be doing a class using the new die cuts from Dreamweaver stencil I'm calling that class to die for. I hope to have samples for these classes on the blog soon having a little trouble with my computer.
Somm R Stamping
A place to enjoy and communicate with other stampers, card makers and scrapbooking artists.

March Madness Dreamweaver Style
Mad, Mad I tell you! Dreamweaver Stencils is celebrating March Madness out of the box. Well last week I worked on cork board and Frayed Cotton Paper to come up with a background
for the fabulous pictures my daughter is bound to come home with at the end of this week.
I found this great distressed frame, I wanted to keep it simple so I used the Monstera shape (LG706)
to give the frame some color and I was going to stencil on some Hibiscus, using one of the three Hibiscus stencils I own but they seem to have disappeared into thin air. In the corners I added aome silk Hibiscus and leaves when I find my stencils I will add some more using the Faux Cross-stitch technique.
I used Pistachio and Olive Pigment inks from Momento with a Laarge stencil brush to add the color.
Now take some time to go to the Dream Team blogs and check out there creations
for this week .
Don't forget to play along and link your creations to the Dream It Up blog
using the linky tool.
I can't wait to see what you all come up with.
Happy Cre8ing.

Hi Everyone sorry I didn't make it on the blog last week, I was in Arizona and was having major problems with electronic things. Since we are working out of the box this month I thought I would use some of my favorite stencils and create something with this great cork and also use this paper I picked up from Tattered Angels called Frayed Cotton. I love all things Hawaiian and beachy, now I have never managed to make it to Hawaii yet, but tomorrow my daughter is leaving for Hawaii and this will be her first time there. I decided I wanted to create a frame for some of her special pics that I'm sure she will take. The stencils I used are: LG641 Monstera Leaf, LG706 Monstera Shape, LL530 Hula Girls and LM273 Hula Girl. I also used the Monstera Leaf Die (DD002) that was released earlier this year at CHA. I started by stenciling the leaf and leaf shape using a Lg Stencil brush and and MomentoLuxe Pistachio ink I distressed the right edge of the paper and the top edge of the cork using Momento Luxe Nautical Blue ink. I used Black Matte Paste to paste the Hula Girl on the Frayed Cotton and the Hula Girls on the cork. I added a ribbon onto the edge of the Frayed Cotton. I used the die cut Monstera Leaf to cut three leaves out of Double-Sided mounting paper, I adhered the leaves on the paper and cork and then removed the resist paper and glittered the leaves using Art Glitter's Microfine Opaque Reed and Microfine Opaque Olive glitter's. I hope you enjoy this project, next week I'm hoping to continue this project by adding a frame so stop by and see what I'm able to come up with. Until then Cre8 some fun of your own and link those creations using the linkytool on the Dream It Up! blog

Dreamweaver March Madness
Hi everyone it has been a while since I posted on my blog. I'm now working three jobs and it kind of gets in the way. Pam asked me if I would be the guest designer this month and I thought it would be a great way to get back to blogging and of course using one of my favorite products Dreamweaver Stencils.
The description March Madness (think outside the box) had me thinking, what is March Madness, for me that would be the fact that I'm teaching 2 classes at the three stores Scrapbook Territory in Berkeley, Scrapbook Island in San Jose and Stamper's Corner in Elk Grove on top of which I'm doing a private class in Tucson and also one in Castro Valley. My mind is whirling. I decided to use a card that I'm teaching in Tucson.
I hope you all enjoy this card, not sure what next week will bring but I'm sure it will be fun. Now don't forget to check out the post of the Dream Team members to see what they came up with this week.
