just a couple of LOs and check back tomorrow for a Stampin'Up update

I started working (officially) on June first. We had to do a thorough cleaning and rearranging of the store... I was beat after two days of non-stop cleaning and running around. But, the store looks so much nicer now and I feel much better just knowing how clean it is now.

On top of work, I also managed to get two LOs done. This one is a total lift of an Ashley Calder LO. I love all the different techniques she shows in her book and I decided to give a few of them a shot.

This one was so much fun. I never even thought of painting over the rather bright K&Co paper, but I love how it turned out.
Materials used: K&Co paper, gesso, Hambly overlay and rub-ons, Stampin'Up Wire, sequins, misc. chipboard letters.

The other LO I did is also a lift, but from a different book... sorry, don't remember the original artist. But anyway, I wanted to play around with some of the lovely Stampin'Up designer papers. Pretty much everything is SU, except for the rubons and the giant brad.

Quite frankly, I am going to fall into bed any minute now, so check back tomorrow for some fun and exciting Stampin'Up News... both fabulous specials and a great event.

Have a good one.
