December 7, 2009 NEW ILLUSTRATOR COURSE AT JESSICA SPRAGUE!
After attending the Digital Scrapbooking Experience this last September, I have had digital scrapbookers asking for an online version of my Illustrator class. So here it is! I am offering a self-paced (as in, sign up when you want, take when you want) Illustrator class through Jessica Sprague. The class is 4 weeks long with video tutorials and bonus lessons. It takes you from STEP 1 (we open a brand new document in Illustrator) all the way to drawing your own goodies! This class is 20% off in December 2010 only. Watch the the introductory course video to see what you will learn (it has an excerpt of part of a lesson) and what you will need to take the class!

January 2009 CHA
My first line for My Minds Eye premiered at January 2009 CHA. I even went to help set up in Anaheim where the show was being held. Bella Bella, an 18 page line is a soft, Victorian-floral paper set with de-saturated blues, pinks, golds, and chocolate. The solids on the backs are subtle and destressed! Take a look at the collection here
Check out some of my fun at CHA!
