I am a busy busy busy bee right now. My life seems to be going a million miles an hour and time is just whooshing past me!  Here's a peek at what I'm up to:

ScrapbookSoup-stripes
Prepping lots and lots of projects for the taping of Scrapbook Soup!  The image above is for a segment on art journaling!  (Still going through project submissions, by the way!)

Believequiltdetail-sm
I was invited to particpate in a fundraising art sale to benefit Japan.  Above is a peek at a small quilt I made that's going to be for sale in a few weeks.

Handmadepaper
I'm putting all of the finishing touches on my new online class, "It's Sew Easy."  The image above is from a tutorial that involves creating hand painted papers.

OvertheEdgeDetail1-sm
Working on my April Live with Prima classes.  The image above is from an artsy layout class I'm going to be teaching packed with techniques.  My April classes will be on April 11 and 25, so mark that in your calendars!

He'sAStorytellerDetail-sm
I just finished my very final layout for the Pencil Lines design team.  I'm sad to say goodbye, but I need to free up some space in my life for some other projects.

And can you believe that I actually have a few other projects in the works?!  They're kind of secret, though…so no peeks.  Except if you're a fan of mine on Facebook, you've probably seen this hint in the past few days:

JulieClownFace-sm
A certain favorite friend of mine and I are up to no good.  Can you guess what we've got planned?  I'm way excited, I tell you!

  • I just checked out all of your beautiful mini-books…gorgeous eye candy! A long-time scrapbooker, I recently made the transition from “traditional” cropping to a mixed-media/collage style–and it’s so educational to take the time to analyze your beautiful, complex backgrounds and fun embellishments. Thanks for posting these items online!
