An Overdue Post and Happy Valentine's Day

It's been awhile since I've posted...but the good news is that I'm putting up a post today. Yay...and I thought I'd share this shabby chic card with you. So, what else have I been doing this month? I've been creating cards  for upcoming classes and that's always a LOT of fun! I centered the cards around the Apothecary Art and Flower Fest stamp sets. I can't wait to share them with everyone.  Since I'll be teaching the cards I've been working on, I need tutorials to send out, so I've also been busy writing, taking and editing pictures, and putting them all together. It's a different kind of creating, but fun.

I taught this month's Brayering class at Tumbleweed Recreation Center last week. We had a great time brayering and everone's cards turned out beautiful. It was quite an aerobic class with all the brayering going on, we certainly got a workout. I get to teach the Brayering class again next week with another bunch of stamping gals. Can't wait!
I'll be posting this month's Brayering cards next week along with a little brayering how-to YouTube video, so you can all see what we've been up to this month. The Brayering Tutorial PDF will be available next week along with a few kits, so stay tuned for that, too.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by...I hope that you're all having a great day :-)

Fun, Shabby Gift Tags

From Adriel:

Aren't these fun? Kind of loud, with a bit of a grunge look... very shabby! I intend on using black ribbon with white polka dots for stringing these tags... that will be the icing on the cake! =)

The DS paper was from last year's Spring/Summer Stampin' Up! catalog... had a few pieces left that worked great for the flowers. The tutorial for these flowers will be in our June Stamping newsletter... out in a couple of days. I saw this idea on YouTube and made some minor changes, but not significant. If you can't wait for the newsletter and want to try your hand at these flowers right now, click HERE to view video.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments! Have a great day!
