So, in June I had a fun experience. I got to travel to Cleveland to film a 7-minute guest spot on the PBS show "Crafting at the Spotted Canary." It was a great experience! The host, Joy Macdonell, is so sweet and such a pro. She made me feel comfortable, even though I was a nervous nelly! All of the staff on the show were wonderful...I'm so grateful I got to experience it. The process of making a TV show was fascinating! And you should have seen the "green room"--full of amazing projects to be highlighted on this season's show. I'm not sure when my episode will air...I will keep you updated!
The show is sponsored by EK Success, who has generously donated a prize for me to give away. I picked a few of my favorite things that I used on the air...the EK Large Tag Punch (a must), Inkadinkadoo Spray Inks (yum), Millenium Archival Markers (the .08 is my fave), and K&Co Paper Pad Lemon-Citron (love the bright colors). I will draw a random winner on Friday, August 5th from the comments on this post...sorry, I can't ship these goodies internationally since they are quite heavy. Be sure to find the Crafting at the Spotted Canary Facebook page and give them a "Like." You can also sign up on their website to become a member...there are lots of fabulous projects & ideas there.
Awesome! Thanks for the chance. Break a leg!

I love spray inks but hadn't heard of these...they look quite intense! Are they watercolor or dye ink? Anyway, fabulous prize package and congratulations on the TV segment. I will definitely look at the PBS schedule to see if I can find this show...

That's great! I can't wait to see it on Tv. I first heard about you from Art Journaling magazine. I loved the bright colors, circles, silhouettes, hearts, and paint splatter on your pages.It made me excited to try what you designed.
I have used spray inks (love them), but haven't tried punches or the microns before. It all looks so exciting! I look forward to your stamps coming to my craft stores.
