Eeep, yes, I know I haven't posted Card of the Day pics in a while. I've been busy creating cards for classes. I promise I'll have some fun new ideas soon. I am expecting another wonder package of stamps soon. I couldn't help but buy a just a few more holiday stamps; mostly greetings. I have a bad habit of buying tons of cool images and then realizing I need PHRASES!

I went to Stampington's Open House at the Art Bar this past Saturday. It was so great to see so many artists in one room. Actually, it was so well-attended, there were quite a few people overflowing to the outside. I heard there were even some from out-of-state! I loved the seminar by Jenny Doh and the speech by Kellen Giloff. I thought it was fascinating to get their perspective. I've been a subscriber to Stampers Sampler and Somerset Studio (in the past) for many, many years. And it was really cool to meet the new editor of TSS, Take Ten, Catch Up and probably a few more publications, Jami Petersen. It tickled me she said she recognized my style and name! And she did take some of my work for publication. I congratulate all the winners that night, there was a lot of beautiful work!

Earlier in the day, I visited Stampin' EJ inside Debra's Cottage. I met Eva, the owner and had a wonderful time talking to her about Jacquard's new bleach pad, Castaway. In the end, I decided not to make that purchase (but did buy a few new Tsukineko dew drops in a couple of the new Brilliance colors and Versamagic). I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people attending the make-n-take and the 25% discount that day! I may be going back in the fall to teach at Stampin' EJ's so be on the look out for the schedule!

At the Artbar, I ran into Sue McGettigan from the Buzz and Bloom design team. She joined my friend and I for dinner while we waited for the Stampington editors to make their final selection. It was really nice to have a chance to get to know her better (having just seen her fantastic work on 2peas). And if I'm ever in Australia, I'll be sure to look her up. I'm SO excited her work was picked up that night for publication. You have to check out her gallery here.
