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

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.

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
