Staci Shuck

I LOVE to Stitch and FUSE...plastic, felt, plarn....

It's a terribly fun addiction...this crafting thing...and being able to combine all of the craftiness together is super wonderful...in my book anyway!!!  I'm loving fusing plastics, all kinds, to make a plastic fabric and then stitching, quilting and embellishing.  Thanks to Tracie Lampe for her wonderful class at Inspired and for confirming fusing plastic as an "okay" art form!  It was wonderful to meet Tracie and get my rough around the edges book autographed!  If you're looking for a place to get rid of your plastic bags...clean ones that is...let me know!!!!  

Oh my goodness....and Happy Father's Day!

Happy Belated Father's day to all the dad's out there but especially to these 2 dads...what's not to love about them!!!!  I'm sure they'll not be lovin' me much after they see this! Oh well!!!!

As for the "Oh My Goodness" part...I'm working on my "summer bucket list"!  You know...things I'd love to get done before school starts again (shh..we're not talking about school) and...reviving my photoshop skills is on that list.  So this morning, while recovering from a migraine, I decided it was time!  I pulled up my notes from a class a while back and began to play.  Photoshop is ever changing sooooo...it took alot of playing and learning and I'm REEEALLY glad I had taken the migraine meds before I began to play...not sure I would have recovered otherwise!!!  So after some practicing and in between a bit of cleaning, packing orders & celebrating Father's Day...this is what I came up with... 

I'm so excited...even with that blurry ribbon (I've perfected that already) in the middle.  I've wanted to create sketches for so long...just didn't have the time to play!  Alas, summer!  Soooo....this is the beginning!!!!  Layouts using this sketch to follow as soon as I can get them done...hopefully with some of the photo's of those 2 dads above!  Can't you see that big red ribbon in felt???? Hmmmm!

Happy Monday!!!
