A Sad, Sad Day

I have had a rough day today. While working on kits for Saturday's workshop, my MacBook Pro started acting funny. The Silhouette Studio program froze up, so I tried to restart the computer, thinking it was the program...the thought that it was the computer didn't even cross my mind- I've not had any trouble with it at all. Well, it wouldn't shut down, and the fans kicked on high gear. I left it alone for a bit, unplugged everything from it (I hook it to a large external monitor and keyboard)-30 minutes later the fans were STILL going full bore!! Asked around a bit, was given a few things to try. Nothing worked. The fans ran for at least 45 minuts before they quit. I am SOOOOOO upset!!! I've never been so attached to an electronic item lol Of course it's out of warranty, if only by a few months (March 5th!)...so now the decision is: do I pay to fix it (if it can be fixed) or just replace it?!? AND, as much as I loved my Mac, my HP lasted me 6 years with a ton of abuse....I'm thinking I might (gasp) go back to a PC, if the dang Macs aren't going to hold up!!!! Aaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Blog Hoppin' With Altered Pages

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Design Team at Altered Pages  has been working with PINK! I LOVE pink, and I love Halloween,  so I thought to myself, "self, how can we use pink with Halloween?" Well, I came up with an answer, and I hope you like it. I used collage sheet  "Screaming Skulls" for this tag, and use two image transfer techniques. Here's a quick tutorial: Ink tag with Distress Inks- Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick. Stamp back ground stamp with Worn Lipstick, and again (offset) with Vintage Photo. Flick some water onto the tag. Dry with heat gun, then ink the edges of the tag with a  little Vintage Photo. Print the Screaming Skulls collage sheet twice. Cut out the anatomy skulls. Paint the image with some matte medium, mod podge, or cheap Elmer's white glue, and slap it face down onto the tag. Let dry. Once dry, wet the back of the image,
