{Hey, Nice Pockets}

{ Kenner Road } Will Take You Down Memory Lane...

as will Dime Store Daze.

This weekend I have 2 uber cool and super vintage-y women to talk about.

Kenner Road:

Most of you are probably familiar with my dear friend Kerry Lynn. You may know her by "KL" - I call her "Ker", but, either way, she is who she is and so ROCKS. The girl has an eye for pulling together the most interesting and delicious mix of vintage goodies (papers, fabrics, ephemera, trims, bling...you name it) and create to die for projects. And, now she is going to share her talent for this with all of us!  What with her workshop classes continually selling out & the popularity of her limited edition kits at her Etsy shoppe (K8tyKat), the time has come for Ker to share her talent with the masses...enter Kenner Road.

Kenner Road is a subscription based kit club. Pre-Sale subscriptions for the first Kenner Road release went live yesterday, August 15th, and are already SOLD OUT! Ouch, that's not hot...that's on "Fi-Yah!" Fear not though my friends....if you missed out on the pre-sale you will still have the opportunity to snag the September release on September 15th...it'll cost you a few more clams to get your pretty little glittered and glued hands on it but it's worth it....one more reason to sign up for the subscription is that you can save about $5 per kit which means one more Starbucks for you!

Now, in addition to these vintage delights, Ker is also launching a line of digital goodies so if you are a digi-scrapper, a paper crafter/altered art/mixed media/scrapper looking to get into a little digi, or full on hybrid, now is your chance to do it in style!

Keep checking back for the Kenner Road site launch as well as the availability of new subscriptions and the rest of the project kits & goodies that will be waiting to land in your mailbox!

Be sure to look for Kenner Road layouts in the September issue of Digital Artist Magazine!

Dime Store Daze:

Tomorrow, my other dear friend and local guru, Gigi Kennedy, and I will be taking a vintage jewelry class here at the Jersey shore with none other than the infamous & beloved Terri Ventura of Dime Store Daze. Looking forward to seeing Terri again, and, as if all that weren't enough, we will also be taking a beeswax class with Suze Weinberg!!  Can you believe it?!?! Neither of us can.....can't wait to get into a jam packed room with so many other creative and talented people and get schooled by all their knowledge and techniques!

Sneak Peeks of tomorrow's workshop kits:

Some of Terri's work from a recent swap:

Could you imagine getting any one of these charms in a swap...I would pass out from the beauty & excitement as I walk from the mailbox!  :D

Here's Terri doing her thing at Tinsel Trading in NYC:

You can find out more about Terri in the September issue of Digital Artist Magazine as well as see a couple of layouts inspired by her work!

Spring Is a Comin'.....

We're Also Fools Like That....

OK, so today Kim and I realized we didn't get one photo of the two of us at SilverBella! WTH?!?!?! What kind of digital scrapbooker am I anyway?

What limited photos I do have will be posted tomorrow night...right now I am about to watch Ghost Hunters season 3 finale.

Oh, just one last thing! Have you all seen this:

My beloved and uber-talented friend, Kim, made this apron in my honor! It just rocks my socks off...the mix of patterns, colors & fabrics are to die for...trust me when I tell you that this thing is even cooler in person!!!!!! I would love to tell you to go run and buy one but they are SOLD OUT!!!!  These bad boys blew the doors off the boutique....just my style; fast, furious and anything but subtle....I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
Love you Kim!!!  :*

Cuz We're Cool Like That....

and a little creative too!  :D

Tomorrow Kim and I will be at the glitziest shabby chic "infirmary" around: Silver Bella!

She with her glitter covered barf bag and, I, in my chintzed out, vintage velvet & lace trim, rhinestone encrusted coffin with just a dusting of glitter for some added sparkle as I approach near death....we will make quite the pair!  LOL   OK, it's quite an exaggeration, but we have both been wrestling mother nature recently and are both soooooooo looking to create, glitter and gab! All in all, with all we both have been dealing with it turns out it's good news for both of us, sort of!!!!!  :)

Shawny, we still have space for you should you grace us with your presence.....besides, we might need a nurse & heaven help poor Kim should I have a couple cocktails while on painkillers!  :D   Just kidding Kim!!!!

Pink Glittery Gas.....

Yep, I said "gas" not "glass.

I don't know, maybe you think your farts smell like roses but, mine, well I do it right and they smell like cotton candy!

Click here...you WILL NOT be disappointed...I promise!!!!!

Oh, and don't any of you dare to act as if you don't fart...we all do so get over it!  :D

*Cool As Cassidy*.....

yep, that's one of the new kits from the wonderful and adorable Audrey Neal of The Lily Pad.  Be sure to stop by *The Pad* this weekend to check out Aud's newest creations and of course, pick up some of Amy's new Fab Folded & Loopy ribbons which rock, as always.

Here's a new layout using the *Cool As Cassidy* kit as well as some other digi goodies.

That's all for now....I have been out of commission for a full week with the flu and am just able to be up and about a little bit and FINALLY take a long hot shower and blow dry my hair!

Another Pub & A Challenge....

Wednesday I got an e-mail from Memory Makers looking to see if one of my LOs was still available and, if so, would I release it for publication....so I'll have another one of my Chicago based layouts in MM this coming June!  :)

Here's a little layout for the Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Jen Wilson Designs:

Credits here.

The page uses a really old LO of mine from a couple years ago and displays my feeble attempt at a graphic style....how pathetic of me!  LOL  But, the layout seemed to work for this page so I went with it....lots of great stuff here from Audrey Neal & Amy Martin at The Lily Pad....and of course, no need to mention it but, I used *tons* of stuff from the great Jen Wilson at Jen Wilson Designs!

Been sick this week so I have been on the quiet side...yesterday I felt so terrible I left work in the afternoon and stayed home today.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and warmer than the current temperature of 12F which is NOT accounting for the wind chill!

My Chicks Rock....

We have so many fun and funny pictures from our last girl's night out that I just had to use Nancy's latest photo cluster so I could put a bunch of them on the page and in a fun way....what fun we had, I am *still* laughing and it is 5 days later!  :D
