Cat created this cute little snowman painting.
Love how the Stampendous Mica Fragments look like snow.
Then she created this cute little angel card using a
Clear Scraps angel card.
This is the inside of the card - beautiful!
She used texture paste, Distress Glitter,
Dylusions
white paint, Tim Holtz stencils,
Distress Markers, alcohol inks, Tim
Holtz stamps & Stazon inks.
She wrote this about the craziness that went on all weekend.
What a
great weekend at the store with the
Mixed Media In House Retreat
ladies.
So much talent throughout the store from all the ladies
and all
the sharing of ideas and techniques was wonderful to see.
On my way
home I was laughing to myself
at all the various personalities and how
well they all mesh together.
We have our unassuming one that sits and
takes it all in but then
periodically throws
out a snarky little zinger
that sends everyone into stitches.
There is
the quiet one that loves to try anything and sits there in her own
little world creating away only coming up for air when she hits a stump
or needs another product to add to the mix.
We have a Girl Scout that
brings everything she owns and whenever anyone
needs something totally
off the wall her response is
"Oh I have one you are welcome to borrow"
.
Ms Giggles laughs at everything, including her happy little mistakes,
and always has a bright positive outlook no matter what the outcome.
If
it is not what she had in mind she rolls with "I meant for it to look
like that"
and she just laughs it away. The Inquisitive one asks 40
thousand questions
about every little detail of a product, how it works
and what it will do.
For heaven's sake woman just use it and find out
for yourself.
We can only tell you so much. Such a funny one is she!
Then there is Ms. Tail End, the one that only listens to the tail end of
3 different conversations going on around her and we have to explain
from the beginning of each one. (We now know just how rumors get
started.)
The artist that is always going over the top and
outta the box
with her projects and use of product that will yell
"Whoooo Hoooo" when
it all comes together!
She is usually dragging her best friend along
with her but since said friend
is talking to everyone she misses out on
half the instruction so
Artist has to back track for her so she does not
get further behind.
(Hazards of knowing half the town.)
The Innocent one
is quite creative and loves teaching as she goes.
She just has to keep
her color in check as we tend to make her turn beet red
at the thought
of some of our antics and ideas for solving world issues.
The Tower of
Trouble is always instigating something when she is around
and it is
double trouble with her big sister beside her.
This one will subtly stir
the pot and sit back and watch the fall out
while laughing hysterically
at her handiwork.
She has been known to move a table around to see how
long it takes the owner to realize it.
Ms. In Her Own Zone works away as
she creates on paper and then
transfers the idea to her papers. Ask
her a question and just sit and wait for it.
Wait for it, Just wait for
it. She is so in her zone she has no idea you are talking to her!
Yes, these ladies are more fun than any TV show or movie,
they are
cheaper than therapy and
the comedy they provide just makes you feel
good all over.
I would not trade them for the world!
Cat is so creative...
whether she is crafting, photographing, or writing.
Now we are all having fun trying to figure out which one of the above is us!
