The E-Team
The first stop along your way is the eclectic Paperie Blog, where you’ll find a video introduction of the E-Team Designers.

My favorite technique that I would like to share with you is my love for all things altered . . . taking trash to treasure so to speak. One of my favorite altered projects has been transforming this

Well, I’ll be damned!!!! Just look at that “piece of wood”…. Stunning… You’d NEVER think it started life as a piece of scrap…. AMAZING…
Will do the hop at work tonight, pending IT doesn’t have me blocked… something to look forward to on my last night before VACATION!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
WOWZA, that is one awesome hunk of wood. Each side is so much fun!!! You did an awesome job, makes me want to go out and find a hunk of wood and turn it beautiful!
yes, you did (tell us all how excited you are) and although I was kinda at a loss of words…. I have been excited since Daisy and you asked me back at CHA.
I’ve always been in awe of your creativity and you are so going to get sick of me cuz I so wanna be your mini-me. Damn wish I lived closer, cuz I’d be soooo taking your classes. I love what you did with that scrap block of wood.
I am thrilled to be on this ride with you. Remember I count on you to set me straight if I step out of line :-)….. or if I whine, bitch or wallow in self pity…..
BTW, THAT is an awesome picture with the heat gun…. I totally love it.
Gonna be a rockin’ good time….. got my Jose ready 🙂
wow Sherry – this is awesome!
Love it!
