So here are the awesome project we did in Wendy Vecchi's class Friday night. I had such a great time and was really inspired to go home and pull out some of the art pieces I have collected ......

Wendy and the Niche girls

I did not take the tag class Saturday, but attended the advanced stamping class Saturday night

I gave up my seat for a customer, but was able to play along on the sideline (Thanks for sharing Lyn) I made these ATC's using the new Ranger specialty stamping paper and Distress inks. The new paper are totally awesome to work with

A little about a lot...

Long time no posting
November and December is the busy busy months for me (as for most of us) I work my hours and are doing my classes at Paper Niche , then my days off are as usual spent at Willys making sure the Scandinavians here in the US gets their Christmasfood (Pinnekjøtt, Ribbe and everything else that goes along).
Last weekend the Norwegian church here had a fundraising concert featuring Alexander Rybak, an amazing musician  (take a peek here) All the proceeds went to our new church and Scandinavian center being built in Davie

Another October class from me

This is another class I'm doing at The Paper Niche in the end of October, using stamps and frames from  Darcie, I'll be doing different classes with these products in the months ahead. In this project I've used distressing ink for coloring in the stamped images. Darcie's stamps are so awesome , I totally LOVED working with them.

In October we have both Marah Johnson and Nikki Sivils coming to the Paper Niche to teach classes, how awesome is that. Today I had my first day of for a while and got together with my friend Lyn and our melting pots again. Today's medium was Utee..It did not quite end up as we planned, I think we both where a little bummed when we called it a day, but we learned and know what to do different the next time we play.
Here is what I made today. The first two is with stamped images and alcohol ink. The last group is made with Graphic 45 paper and some trinkets
