A few more things...

I really need to get better at posting. These are cards from the Distress Inks 2 class I taught at the store...lots of fun techniques - dabber resist and perfect pearls were the focus of these two.  Have you tried something new and fun today?  k

beautiful stamp...

The Dandelion Frame from Hero Arts has to be one of my all time favorite stamps.  There are so many different looks that can be created with it.  This card uses the distress inks (of course,) glossy cardstock, and the resist pad by Ranger.  I just love the colors don't you?
Spend some time getting inky and thanks for stopping by.

I thought I would post one of the 'birthday coasters' I have made for the ATT (All Things Tim)  yahoo group I belong to.  Yes, I am a fan of Tim Holtz and many of the projects I make are done using his products and a grungy or shabby chic style.  This one uses various clock stamps, masks, distress inks, foliage and spinner ideology pieces and EK success Inspirables (raised clock face.)
Today was a wonderful weather day in PA.  Unfortunately the weatherman says rain for the weekend.  Well, it's  good weather to spend in the craft room!

Into the wild blue yonder...

I have finally decided to start a blog.  I admire so many...some of which I will list here one day...and thought maybe it was a good idea for me too.  But please be patient.  There is definitely a learning curve to doing this!  

One of the purposes of my blog is to share my artwork.  Humble as it may be, I am working hard to learn new techniques, try new things, and maybe I can give others some ideas also.

So here is my first display...these are cards I created for a class I am teaching at memory lane, pa - a local scrapbook store where I work part time.  I love Tim Holtz distress inks.  I have been inspired by his videos and classes I have taken.  This class was designed to inspire others - maybe you? -  to use them too.
Happy Crafting!
