Hiya sistahs!  I am just leaving home to go to Bellaland and I cannot access my computer at work…grrrrr…

So.. I have not introduced you to another new artist and I have a more formal bio coming but I will tell you what I feel about her first 🙂

Teresa Mcfayden is one of my art journaling “heroes”!  I have taken every single one of her online classes to date :)… she is so warm, so friendly and a phenomenal teacher.  Really.  So one day I shyly approached her and asked if she would share some of her “trademark” elements she uses on her art journaling pages.  and guess what?  SHE SAID YES!!!!  I was humbled.  I was so excited.. SO EXCITED.  So off to work we went together and had a blast.  Her signature is her layering on her pages… I try to copy her all the time but it never quite looks the same..LOL.   The greatest thing about these stamps is that if you are beginner, these will come in handy!  they are space fillers and fun to colour and just amazing to look at!

We are releasing 4 of her fun sets.. you will be so excited!  I know Teresa and I are :).   The funny thing also was that Teresa and I were looking for a name for the collection.  It took us 3 weeks for her to come up with it and I think it is just perfect.  “IN MY ELEMENT stamps” by Teresa Mcfayden.  LOVE IT.

Ok so I am going to post my quick sample of a journal page I used with them… you can actually guess where they are..  In. Love. With.Them.Honestly.

Another great thing about them, is that you can make backgrounds with them for cards, use them as a focal point on your cards and use them as journaling blocks on scrapbook pages.. very versatile!

Ok here it is 🙂

whole spread

closeup.. the little stack of circles are teresa's and the label on top right...

another close-up.. the element on the left (3 stacked circles) and the circle with the cluster on top are both Teresa's...*sigH* have I mentioned I love them?

Here is a sample that our Paulineabella made..isn’t it GORGEOUS?

These babes just bring everything to life don’t they?

Ok Ok.. one more?  hmmmmm?

Meet uptown girl TESSIE the TEACHER… as you know I don’t love seasonal images.. I love images that you can use many many times over for multiple occasions.  So for Tessie, I included an encouragement quote so you can use it for friends etc.!  I’m clever that way, no? LOL

and here is Kathybella’s card… DEEVINE I say.. DEEVINE.

ok gotta go prepare more goodies!!!

Mwah mwah mwah…

Let me know how you like da stampies!

Em

So when Mo sent me this image, I almost passed out..LOL.. I thought it was ADORABLE!  Mo’s attention to detail is incredible.  She just encapsulates emotion, physique, style all in one little image!  Since Mo is a children’s illustrator, and I LOVE children’s books, we are a perfect matchypoo.  I love to take her images of children and translate the emotion so that we can use the same image for both children and adults…

So here we are.. on day TOO and I introduce you to….. BUSKETTIE!  (say it out loud and you will get it!).. I will never forget when I took tyler when he was little to Starbucks and he LOVED the chocolate SPIGOTTI’s (biscotti)..

Do you have any funny mispronounced stories?  do share!

Hope you like Buskettie as much as I do 🙂

mwah.

messy mwahs.

Em
