Hello everyone,

I'm back!! I just received my new camera last week, I bought it on line and then that storm hit the US. Well let me tell you I checked the delivery of my order every day and it was stuck on a truck on a highway for a week. I felt sorry for the truck drivers. I saw the challenge over at retro sketches HERE (LOVE this sketche!!) and just knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought it would be fun to make the snowman standing in the snow. I used stickles on the snow ball and Glossy Accents on buttons, hat, scarf and boots. It worked out just the way I wanted it to. That doesn't happen very often for me. lol  Enjoy

Hello sweet peeps,

Sorry I haven't been on line My camera just up and died on me. I was not able to post my last two cards for the 2013 class work shop. So sad, maybe I can find a good bargain on a new camera. Right now I'm busy making cards for OWH they need some miss you and love you cards. I'll post something as soon as I get a camera. Wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. I wish you and your families a Blessed Thanksgiving and may there be Peace in your home.

I'm back with another tag this morning for day 2 of class. For this one I used the Mixed-Media Layering Technique. Since I only bought two stencils I kept it pretty simple. But really liked my outcome. See you in class.

Hello,

Well still working on class tags, today in class was totally awesome!! So many techniques. I chose to work on Embossing with Stencils and Embossing through stencils. I must say embossing through the stencil is by far my favorite technique so far lol. I took a class a while back with Britta and she had us make a cover for our tag booklet, I thought it a great idea to make one for this class I used a tag made out of clear card stock. I cut a piece of straw for the test tube. Colored some little gems with a lime sharpie. Just had fun with it. Enjoy
