I had to use my fifth avenue floral set again because it has been collecting dust and also wanted to show you all another stamping technique.  The technique I have used is called crayon resist and really gives some awesome highlights and detail to an image. I started with a plain piece of glossy white […]


Stampin’ Up! has a new stamp that will be available in the New Spring Mini that is perfect for that finishing touch. Have you ever made a card and wanted the recipient to know that you made it especially for them but didn’t want to blurt it out and seem conceited?  Well this new stamp […]

I had my first class at home yesterday.  I think it went quite well apart from the fact that it took 3 1/2 hours!  I didn’t realize how long it would take.  I guess the fact that my tape runners ran out and we had to cut double sided tape off the roll really chewed […]
