(6) K I need to stop whining a little.
HERE WE GO!
I’d like to introduce VICKI BOUTIN and her new CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS line of stamps!!! She has recently authored an AMAZING .. YUMMALISH-OUS MIXED MEDIA BOOK which I think EVERYONE should have in their library 🙂 called CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS
Vicki was kind enough to allow me to give a SIGNED copy away to one LUCKY commentaytah!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT NOW YOU HAVE A REASON TO TALK TO ME VIA COMMENTS? LOL… you can find it on AMAZON HERE and here is what the book cover looks like.. I LOOOVE IT!! doesn’t it look YUM?
So if you can put a comment on this post, I will keep it open until MONDAY MARCH 26th and will announce a winnah on TOOSDAY.. k?
Here’s a pic of the cutesy “flippy” (she is known for her wispy flippies..lol her hair- CAN YOU TELL IT’S 2 AM?)
SEE WHAT I MEAN? she has CUTE WISPY FLIPPIES!!!
and here’s a little bio
“Vicki has loved making pretty things since she was a little girl. With a background in fine arts and graphic design she was always searching for a creative outlet that was a good fit. She finally found it in the world of paper crafting after the birth of her first child 10 years ago. She hasn’t looked back since!
In 2006 Vicki became a Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame winner and went on to be part of Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooks Etc’s Creative Team. Her work is currently published in Scrapbooks, Etc and Vicki writes a quarterly article for Scrapbooks and Cards, Today magazine. She enjoys working closely with a number of the industry’s top manufacturers including Core’dinations, 7 Gypsies, Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle and Pink Paislee. Vicki is also a Ranger Certified instructor.
Vicki is always on a mission to learn something new and then find a way to share it! That is where teaching comes in. She has taught workshops in the United States, Canada and Europe and loves to approach art in a fun, fresh and accessible way. Her motto is “Try anything once. You won’t know if it’s your style unless you try it!” Her workshops offer an opportunity to meet new friends, try new things and most of all have FUN!!!
Vicki’s first book Creative Foundations hit stores in January 2012 and is jam packed with techniques and ideas to jump start readers creativity. Look for it at your local book store or online at your favorite book vendor.”
