Too Long!

Hey Everyone!

It's been toooooo long since I've posted!  As many of you know, we were away on a lovely cruise to Panama with Stampin' Up!  It was absolutely fabulous!!  Going through the locks in the Panama Canal is definitely in the top ten of the coolest experiences I've ever had!  Here are a few pics for you:

   

I promise to post more pics this week!  Right now it's off to bed! :)  Have a happy Monday everyone!

Happy Easter!

On this Good Friday morning, I want to wish each of you a very blessed Easter weekend!  As we spend some quality time with our friends & families, may we pause to remember what Easter is really all about (and no, it's not bunnies!).  I am so thankful to our great God for giving his Son to die that we might live!  Isn't that a wonderful promise?! :)

Here is a fun card that I made using the White Magic Technique.  Stamp your images in White Craft ink, let dry (or heat set) & color over with pencils.  You can use Watercolor Pencils, Metallic Pencills or Pure Color Pencils.  Then use a Blender Pen to blend the color.  The White Craft ink allows the pencil to blend really well!  I then used my favorite product ever...the White Gel Pen...to accent the flowers & draw little "stars" all over.  Enjoy! :)

Spring is in the air!

Ahhh spring...  We had a nice little taste of it this past weekend, with temps in the 60s & beautiful sunshiny days.  Today....well, today we've got 40 degrees & light snow in the forecast.  You just never know what you're gonna get in NH! I, for one, am gonna "think spring", and hope that I can WILL it into existance once & for all!!

 

This sweet little chipboard album is a super fun project for spring.  This was created by my dear friend Ann Walker for our Spring Demo Classes.  More photos of the projects from that class will be coming soon.  Enjoy your little shot of "Spring-shine" for today!

Happy April!

I can hardly believe April is here already!  It seems like I say that every month...I think it means that time is going by too fast!  I am not complaining though, as I'm having lots of fun filling up my time!

Here's a fun card I made using Stampin' Up's fabulous chipboard!  I colored the chipboard flower with White Craft ink, let it dry, then added some light touches of color with the Watercolor Pencils...fun & easy!
