Hey crafty friends,

I strive to give unbiased opinions about the products I use in cardmaking.  I have to say that I am rather biased about this reindeer image.  I think it is the most adorable reindeer stamp I've ever seen.  I love the size of it because it can stand alone as the focal point.  I decided to give this image some extra special attention.  The video is the best way to take in all the details I put into this.

Hello crafty friends,

I know it's been a while since I last posted.  I thought it was a great time to share some cards for the cooler season to come.  I say "to come" because it sure hasn't in Texas.  I pulled out my alcohol inks and made one large background before cutting it up to create these bright earthy colored cards.  I am sharing the process of creating an alcohol ink background on a larger sheet of Yupo and ways to enhance the backgrounds after the inks are dry.
