Oh My Gosh! Convention was so fun - and the tips and techniques we learned were fun and I can hardly wait to share them - The big thing is - YES we do have a new cricut cartridge and it is even more amazing than the first!!! Pretty hard to imagine isn't it?

Artiste has more than 700 images on it and an instruction booklet on how to put the items together! Pretty cool, right? And the new stamps that coordinate with it? Well the carrier sheets tell you which page in the book you can find the coordinating  image! I know, very cool!

Since I was one of the lucky ones to 'WIN' one of the Artiste cartridges during our first general session, I just have to show you a sneak preview of just one of the sweet little 3D items them have! Okay two of them - the box with windowed lid, and, the sweet little bow! OOOPs how's that to give you a sneak peak at one of the new paper packs too??? Yes the big box is made with Pears and Partridge!

Becky's Studio - Redecorated!





This is the view from my work table!
A little rainy today but makes it better to work inside!

 As I previously promised here are pictures of my new and improved studio. There is not too much you can do with a small room except to make it look bigger and work more efficient, so that is what I tried to do!

I love the new color and my new work and cutting stations are really working out really well.

And the gathering table is so much more accessible!

Now I just wish I had taken before and after pix - it might have made a really good scrapbook page!  Go figure! :~) Oh well! Next time!!

Thanks for stopping by!

The cutting station and my work table - yep this is a good day! :~)

This is the customer creating table - ready for the next group!

Well this has been the week from "busy"!!! After 4 or has it been 5 years (?) I'm old (LOL) and I don't remember??? Anyway, I decided it was time to redecorate 'Becky's Studio' - Close To My Heart style! WOW what a change - I have gone from Desert Sand with White Daisy trim to a brighter Buttercup yellow with White Daisy trim! I know the trim color is the same but now it is a brighter White Daisy and the Buttercup yellow looks like sunshine on the wall! Now what to do with the floor? Do I want to paint it again? Put down tile? Wood floors? Make the painted floor look like tile? I just can't decide? When I finally decide and I post completed pictures you will have to let me know if I made the right choice!
Along with the color changes I am also making a new cutting station for my paper cutters, cricuts, oh! and of course my xyron - can't be without any those items, as you all know! Hopefully the new changes will give more room for my ladies and their wonderful creativeness! Is that a word? Not sure? Oh well it is now! Ha Ha Ha!!
Now I know a lot of you have not seen 'Becky's Studio' in the past colors - but - seeing the new and improved version - I'm sure you will agree it IS better!!! Stay tuned for pictures - soon!

Oh my gosh I didn't talk about our 'Crafto - d - Mayo!!! What a fun day we had! This all day crop was filled with a wonderful group of ladies and we were fortunate enough to have enough room this time to allow each lady to have her own table! It was so fun! Debbie (formerly of Debbie's Brown Bag) catered our lunch and dinner this time around and it was awesome! She made some amazing soup and sandwiches for lunch and a yummy taco bar for dinner. Anyway, here are are a few pix from the da

y - you will have to plan on joining us next time around!

Look at these busy ladies and they all seem to be having fun -  at least they have smiles on!

Monday night is 'Card Club' and this card is just to give you a little sneak peak at one of the cards we are going to make - isn't it fun? We are using the 'Dotty for You' paper packet - so so cute! Love this paper pack!!
