April sneak peeks are up at "The Story Matters"....

April sneak peeks are up at The Story Matters!! This kit has NEW Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon just to name a few!! There is still time to join us in our sketch challenge for March!! And finally, don't forget to join our Facebook group!!

I can share my news now!!

I have recently joined the Creative Therapy team and I am beyond thrilled!! What I am really excited about is that there are no limits or requirements for what type of art you create! It's such a liberating experience and allows me to think beyond scrapbooking (although that is the basis from which I start). I love the mix of artists that are involved and love the diversity of styles and mediums from which we all work from! I really believe this group will push be to go beyond my comfort zone. Creative Therapy offers a "catalyst" from which you then create your work. The team is currently on catalyst #105! We encourage you to join the Facebook page and to share your work with us! Creative Therapy has just celebrated its second year and is headed by the incredibly talented Karen Grunberg! Karen also asks other talented women to be guest artists. Tara Whitney and Jenni Bowlin are a couple of the most recent guests to the blog! Thanks again Karen and Creative Therapy for having me!! I am just thrilled for this new adventure!

 

The sketch is up at "The Story Matters"....

Head on over to "The Story Matters" to grab your kit and join us in the monthly sketch!! If you get a March kit you will also receive an exclusive Prima stamp just for joining! And if you get a friend to join and you both get stamps! Here is my take!

I hope you will come join us by grabbing a kit (at only 24.99 plus s/h) and making your own version of the sketch! Don't forget to share your creations at our Facebook Group Page!
