Today is my first official day on the Crafter's Companion Design Team. I'm so excited!! :o) Crafter's Companion has a wonderful variety of images - from cute and whimsical to scenic, as well as leading industry arts & crafts products. Every week they have new images and every Friday they give away a stamp set from the new release line.
I've started a new blog at Trena's Stampin' Headquarters where I'll post all my CC designs and information I'll be sharing.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, !Feliz Navidad!, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays!!! Jesus is the reason for the season for my family. We are celebrating His birth and celebrating the opportunity to get together and enjoy one and another.
Thank you for visiting my blog throughout the year!! I hope you have been inspired!!
In the USA, we are celebrating a time of 'Thanks.' A time of more giving, more kindness, more joy, enjoying overeating, oversocializing, overwatching football, and just enjoying each other!
I am so excited about the opportunity to be featured in the July issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts - the Creative Spaces section! During My Journey from Mounted to Un-mounted, I shared with you all that I was on a schedule. :o) I was driven to get finished to meet the deadline for the article. I want to share in my excitement by offering to send an issue to one of you. That magazine always has creative and inspirational projects, and interesting articles. My Sunday International Design Team sister Paula has a lovely card published in this month's issue (page 42)!
Please leave me a comment, by Saturday May 28th, about one of your favorite ways that you organize. Others can read the comments and we can all get more ideas! I'll select a winner on May 29th.
I attended a carve your own stamp workshop and carved my first image! It was much easier than I thought, plus we had a wonderful instructor, Jenna. I was nervous about the whole transfer process - it was so easy!! We had a fun group of crafty women in the class. We were laughing - talking about different techniques we've tried, sharing stories about different areas of the country some of the women lived in, and sharing our love of art. I took the class at Paper Source - they opened last month in Naperville. What beautiful papers they have! For any Japanese papers you purchase, 10% of the sale goes to Relief Efforts for Japan. Sharing a photo of the papers I bought - you'll see them on some cards in the near future...
Katie, a fellow crafter/artist, is going through some serious health challenges. A wonderful group of her friends have put together a lovely set of digis to help support her.

Hello!! I've missed posting. Been down with a nasty cold. I'm feeling much better today. I have not stamped or colored in days! I did do a little painting to finish up a card set that I'm donating to the The National Women's History Project.
The National Women's History Project, founded in 1980, is an educational nonprofit organization. Their mission is to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic accomplishments of women by providing information and educational materials and programs. They have a web store where people can purchase items to support their cause. I donated a set of 12 handcrafted cards. I hope someone will enjoy getting them and giving them away.
