Things to Share

Last week at the shop I was telling Val about an online class site I stumbled on which had a free Copic coloring class.  It's a series of 11 e-mails (2 a week it seems) that steps you through the Copic basics from the numbering scheme, to picking out your starter set, to the basic coloring and shading.  So I just thought I'd share the web link in case you're interested.  I can also share the 11 PDF files once I get them all.

And I wanted to make sure you saw the message from Paper Wishes about the free e-book they are offering for metal stencils.  It has a bunch of card ideas and embedded "how to" videos.  Kind of a cool marketing technique.

See you later today at the Holiday Party at 4:00 or the shop at 5:00 (ish)

 

Valentines

It's Monday and the President's Day Holiday. Looking forward to spending a good portion of my day in the craft room. Didn't make any cards for Valentines except for my honey-bunny. Here's the one I made for this year. Allan is always saying "I like it plain" when he orders sandwiches and stuff so I thouhgt I'd keep his card "plain" this year. He really loved it.



Also posting the one I made him last year as I borrowed one of my favorites of Val's brass stencils and used glossy white embossing paste. I loved how it turned out. Maybe if we beg and plead, Val would catalog and scan her brass stencil collection and include those in her lending library! :-)



Will now turn my attention to Spring cards and St. Patty's Day.
