I love my brown pencil!

I have three cards to show you, all of them using my favorite brown pencil!

I didn't plan it that way, but I just love the color and I love how easily it blends

with odorless mineral spirit.

This first card uses a lovely image from All Dressed Up and it's a digi image.

The next two cards use images from Digi Stamp Boutique. I love how simple these images

are, and when you are getting back into using stamps and coloring simple is good!

I just love, love, love this next bear, and he could be used for all sorts of greetings.

 I used the same papers as my first card but used a square instead of an A2 card.

A package from across The Pond!

Look what the Mailman delivered....

A little stash of stamps from Lili of the Valley.

Can't wait to mount these babies and get stamping!!!

New class at The Craft Retreat

I have a class coming up at The Craft Retreat. 

Class will be on Saturday January 18th at 10:30.

Give us a call at the store if you think you like to

'Come and play'!!! 602-843-3197

You'll make a fun selection of Every Day cards using one of the

MFT (My Favorite Things) alphabet dies for the wording. The die

Breaks down into individual letters so spelling out words is left up

to your imagination! AND no more incomplete alphabets left over once 

you've spelt out your word!!!

Getting Started!

Yesterday I taught a class and my ladies went home with these little lovelies...

This Explosion Box is made using one of the latest We Are Memory Keepers 

Punch boards. The boards are easy to use and a great addition to your tool

Collection if you like making boxes.

Next up was the Telescoping card and it's little box. This one was super easy 

And super quick and the ladies were finished with this one in no time!

Last up was this Pull Out Envelope card with its own Envelo Box to go with it.

Lots of pieces to this one but we got there in the end. Fun class with a lovely

Group of ladies, off now to come up with samples for my next class!
