where in the world has the time gone…first my darling stella girl turned 1. holy hannah! she was the typical not interested in opening presents…crying because it was just too much. but it was way fun having family over.

then the very next day we went to California…Stella loved all the adventures, slide, cousins and the beach…she loved the beach.

with all that fun happening…i forgot i had TPC class happening…i thought i had the one family gallery class no biggie…whoops…i actually have both classes this week…family gallery tuesday (tomorrow) and Totally paper crafting wednesday.. so here are the layouts that i just finished that are included in class…holy hannah heidi lynn get with it!! the rest are about finished…but i have to get these 3 kitted …hope to see you there!

for all those in the family gallery class tomorrow…you will need…

basics + a strong double sided adhesive like tacky tape or scotch tape gun, paper piercer, glue dots, 3D foam dots and whatever pics you want whether it be 5×7′s 4×6′s 8×10 or random sizes…it looks cool with a lot or a little…we will make it work no matter what.

don’t read this if you just ate. it is a little ummm…medical gross.

I have decided that my mouth hates me. what else could be the reason for all this aggravation…really. So for the past month and half i have had this weird zit looking thing growing on my lip. at first i thought it was a canker sore…or just something i needed to pop and it would go away…i popped it 4 times no such luck…actually the reverse happened…it got bigger…disgusting…i finally go to the dentist and he says that looks like a mucusalis…a blocked gland in your mouth (blocked with spit and mucus…again hope you haven’t just ate) anyways it happens after your mouth has experienced trauma…surgery…bite you lip real hard etc. my dentist also told me it was twice as big as he had ever seen…again gross…so i had to go back to my oral surgeon…and 35 minutes of cutting and 7 stitches later my friend on my lip is gone. He had to remove 3 glands in my mouth and now i have a sand paper patch on my lip. so like i said my mouth hates me. at least it is over. here is a not so flattering pic of my stitches.

in other news my family gallery (20×30) big page class is coming up…you can pick between 2 color schemes…red & black or aqua and brown…here is a pic of the red black. pic was taken on my phone so the colors are a little off…i have it up in store though. Also i can put a family name or you can keep this quote. The class is july 6th and it should be a blast. frames will be available for purchase.

here is a my adorable almost 1 girl in the little water fountain park thing at SanTan mall…she was so cute.

peace friends! heidi lynn

hey all…here are the projects for my next wednesday. the first three are the included projects and the last 3 will be the semi-kitted extra ones. love summer.

learn this cool flower and make a note pad or journal.

then i finished this baby gift for my sister in law…having a baby boy in a couple of months. i used a mix of fabrics…hunkydory from moda…and then amy butler…with a little texture magic for something different. love love love…the elephant is just made out of yo yos. so much fun.

my sweet girl who smiled a ton…has learned to frown…hey stella how are you…frown…hey stella you are so pretty…frown…ohhh well.

peace friends…heidi lynn

so i got back from my very first quilt market (convention) a couple of days ago. it was soooo much fun. it was cool to go to classes, shop at sample spree, see all the beautiful new fabric and patterns (that are already coming in to the store.) be with Scrapbook Etc. friends. i am already trying to figure out my schedule so i can go to the next one. it just was so much fun…and HUGE, and they say this was a the small one holy hannah. now i am just trying to get back to reality…the boy named paul did a fabulous job taking care of Stella full time. he is so great with her. love that boy.

now it is time to get ready for my next classes and such. and i realized that i have been not on the ball with putting things up on my blog. though the wall hanging has been up in the store for three weeks…it hasn’t been up here. shame shame shame on me. also if you don’t want a wall hanging…it makes a killer abc book.

girl version…everything you see here is included excluding the pictures and the pole (i will have it for sale though) If you are already signed up…you need to bring 10 black and white or sepia photos that match these 10 words

adorable, cry, dressed up, giggle, kiss kiss, peculiar, sweetie, yawn, zzzzz, and just a favorite picture. also bring jump ring ring, paper trimmer, scissors, glue dots, strong double sided adhesive, and sewing machine if you have one..i will have a couple to borrow if not. you don’t have to know how to sew fab…we are doing way imperfect strait stitch lines. no biggy.

boy colors…

boy words, adventure, cry, dressed up, funny, kiss, laugh, QT, Sweet Boy, wiggle worm.

class is tuesday night at 6 pm…you should come…it will be fun. Remember to tell me the name of the child, and if you want a boy or girl kit so i can do the custom print work.

also i was asked to teach at the event Creative Escape…If you are attending CE the classes will be taught the 2 nights before it starts at  Hotel Wild Horse Pass (August 25th & 26th 7-9:30pm) I would love to see you there…also they are opening it up to locals as well so you don’t have to be attending Creative Escape to attend my class or go to the store on site there.  You can sign up on their website or call in. www.scrapbooks-etc.com or (480)854-2303. Please remember to pick your color scheme…Red, Pink or Teal. Also make sure you sign up for a frame if you want one. The class is $45 without and $75 with. I am having them custom made to fit the board perfectly.

Stella time

remember how little she was 8’9oz and 22.5″ long…she is now 11 months…32″ long, and 23lbs. wow time flies. now she walks..has had 3 hair cuts and fake cries. where has the time gone.

peace friends…hope to see you soon. heidi lynn

so…I have had these layouts up in the store for 3 weeks before the class…who knows why I forgot to put them up on my blog. totally brain dead. so better late then never Totally Paper Crafting from last week.

Here is a cool paper flower we made. Totally simple. Cut (6) 3×5 Snowmen shaped (Peanut, figure pieces out of a 12×12. Crumple all of them. Die cut 4 flowers about 4″ and crumple all of them.

Punch a hole through the center of the printed flower and the (6) Snowmen. Punch a hole in the (3) cardstock fowers off centered. Layer the (6) Snowmens in a circle to create them bottom of the flower. Brad the (3) cardstock flowers to the printed flower around the center hole (not using the center hole. Leave it open to attach the whole flower together.) Crumple up the (3) die cut flowers into little balls for the center.

Brad the whole flower together. So fun…can wear it your hair, as a pin, make a bouquet, and can be in any size or color. Love it.

So life is crazy as usual. I just got a new calling at my church. Primary Chorister…seriously i had a mini stroke when i was asked. i got to do it my first time yesterday. totally nervous but i think it went okay. it was fun making the game…guess my scrap attacking abilities came in handy. i just tried to remember what the great mirm priday would do (my wonderful chorister.)

Here is my snot nose beauty. She a  walking, pulling things out of cupboards, waving, clapping, saying nuh no and ut oh cutie pie. love her.

So…I am trying another new project class. It is still called Here’s Your Sign…but we are doing magnet boards. The class is May 4th and $35. It is a 12×18 magnet board and we will be making 3 bling cute magnets to go with it. I will also have custom frames available for sale to get the ultimate classy look..I just thought this would be a great message board in a kitchen or office… Make sure to let the girls at Scrapbooks Etc. ((480) 854-2303.) what color scheme you want. They are chillin’ in the store if you want to have an up close personal look…Hopefully I will see you there. If you are one my out of town friends and would like a kit just email me or comment me..shipping is about $15.

(don’t worry…aqua ribbon instead of brown)

ps. i was just told nuh no by Stella…not even 10 months old and she knows what she wants…holy hannah am i going to have my hands full.

for all that don’t know…the boy named paulie is a software computer guy, and for the last bit he has not only been doing his day job, but he has also been building this apple application for bazzill at night. he has finally finished it and it is available for purchase in the app store. so if you have an ipad, ipod touch or iphone you can get this amazing app. and i know i am a little bias..but really it is the bomb diggity.

5 great things about this app

1. It has all the RGB and CMYK codes for all the current colors of cardstock (over 500) so match your font color to your page or project.

2. It can color match any photo on your device. so it will read your picture and tell you what bazzill colors would match your photo. or if you have an iphone and can take pictures then and there, you could take a picture of a printed paper or fabric and it will tell you the color matches. (halla!)

3. It also helps you come up with color combos that will work with the key color in your picture! you can even save the color combos on the app for later.

4.You can look up any cardstock color by name, family or color so way easy to use.

5. It is cheaper then buying an idea book or color glossary! the app is only $9.99

so…you know…it rocks…if you don’t have an ipod touch you might need to go buy one just so you can have this app! hehe!  peace friends heidi lynn
