Joining us at Stamp Out Breast Cancer this weekend will be Dawne from Old Island Stamp.  The cherry blossom above is one of the latest releases from there website to celebrate spring. I can't wait to get it in the store.  Check out the website for ideas with this image. For the weekend she is bringing us designs so new they're not even on their website, yet. (think Christmas!)  Also for those of you who are into unmounted, Dawne carries EZ Mount.

Many of Cathie’s projects and techniques have been published in a large variety of magazines and in 2008, Cathie became a regular featured writer in the quarterly publication Canadian Scrapbooker.  Read more about Cathie's class at this year's Stamp Out Breast Cancer event here.

Cathie is so much fun and there is one thing guaranteed that will happen at her classes (aside from learning all the new cool techniqus, of course!) ....there will be laughing! 

Class Spotlight, Take 3

Today's instructor spotlight is on Eleonor McGarry.  Eleonor's class is called Pendants & Resist and will involve the use of Nestabilities Pendant Die and Tim Holtz Distress inkpads.  You will make 4 cards, 2 with the dies and 2 with the distress inks.  You will use a resist technique in one of the cards and learn a second technique using spray misters to achieve the most wonderful background paper.  The Distress inks are specially formulated to be used with water to create a multitude of effects.  The ink line has grown from it's original 12 colors to include 24 amazing inks with fun names like Barn Door, Bundled Sage and Rusty Hinge.  In this class you will get to use 2 of the new colours -- Chipped Sapphire and Tumbled Glass.

More Blog Candy, Please!

Hi all......it's Eleonor here!  We love to give out blog candy here at I'm Impressed, so here's another blog candy giveaway!  In anticipation of this coming Mother's Day, we thought why not tell us about your mom? My mom always said such funny things as we grew up and to this day, my brothers and sisters and I always have a good laugh when we reminisce about her funny comments.  So for this challenge, we want you to leave a comment telling us the funniest thing your mom ever said.  We're sure you will have lots to share and we thought it would be fun for everyone to read!  I'll be first.....here's what my mom said that still makes me laugh. "If you keep pouting and stick your bottom lip out any further, a bird will come and  build a nest on it!"  She said so many other funny things though.....so here's another one, "You can't go out dressed like that!  What if someone I know, who knows you, who you don't know sees you??"  Hilarious.

So leave a comment and we will choose one winner at random.  The winner will be announced on Monday, May 24, 2010.
