These canvases are so cool! I finished 2 more - I did one for both Zoey and Angus. Those are their real paw prints on there - yeah that was fun trying to stamp their paws in finger paint and then onto the canvas! Lol!

Well, here is my first attempt at a canvas - it did not turn out like I anticipated but I am working on a second one that will hopefully turn out a lot better! These canvas transfer kits are really cool though - the instructions are easy to follow and everything you need comes in the kit. www.tilanofresco.com

Here is a little exploding accordion book I made a couple weeks ago - it was finicky to make so I won’t be rushing to make any more of these anytime soon.

Dogs in Motion! A cute pic of Angus and Zoey on our walk to the “barracks” the other day. They found an enormous puddle/ mini lake - that they had to run through.

I just received a Wacom Graphire tablet and this thing is awesome!!

From the Wacom website, this is what it says: “The Graphire pen tablet gives you the control you need to quickly and easily edit your digital photos. Draw, paint, and create fun artwork for scrapbooks, craft projects, and slide shows. Mark up documents, sign your name, sketch quick diagrams, and use handwriting to compose emails. Get the control of the Graphire and join million of satisfied Wacom tablet users.”

I have been playing around with it but there is so much I want to learn about it still. If anyone has one of these and has some tips please let me know : )

You have got to check these cool kits out! Tilano Fresco

They have Canvas transfer kits (you can transfer your own photo or design directly onto a canvas),marble coaster sets, glass tile kits, and more! This stuff is amazing! Brent and I got to go meet with the Production Manager, Nicole, today and she took us back to their warehouse to give us a tour. I have heard of these products before (I actually saw them at my LSS the other day) but to see where they are made, and how they are made and to meet the people behind them - was awesome!! Nicole was so cool - she is the scrapbooker in the company so they are trying to target more of the scrapbooking industry now.

Lucky for us this company is located here in Vancouver Seriously though, they have fabulous products! I cannot wait to get started playing around with the canvas kits - and Brent has already printed out a photo he is going to use on one of the Fresco Tiles.

Oh and good news for our Design Team - Tilano Fresco is going to send each one of them 2 kits so they can play around and design some cool projects too! Woohoo!!! I cannot wait to see what our talented DT comes up with. I will try to get a canvas done in the next couple days and post a picture up.

Here’s a cool new product to check out: www.babytoothalbum.com

I came across this new company at CHA - as soon as I saw it, I was thinking”what a great idea!” so I talked with the owner/creator who happens to be a dentist.

Well guess what? I got a call from him today and he is sending me enough Baby Tooth Albums for each of our DT members! I can’t wait to see what they do with them! Stay tuned to see how each of our creative DT members use this new product! : )
