Keep Calm and Craft On....

Hi There!

I taught this in a class at
Memories of Time this past Wednesday,
and promised my students that I would

put up a video tutorial

teaching how to make the bows we made

in class, using only our fingers.

As I mentioned in class, this one is a bit

different than how I taught them,

but it is very similar and it works just

as well, so here you go:

It's produced by Jak Heath and she does an excellent

job of teaching the technique.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHYE3EZj3NQ

Thank you for stopping by to take a peak at what I've been doing!

Yes, Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year!!

I've been busy making my Christmas cards

and in the mail, but took a break from it today

to teach a class at my favorite scrapbook shop,

Memories of Time.

This is the card we made in class:

Fabulous You!

 Hi there!

Time flies when you're busy creating and I

didn't realize it had been so long since I posted

a card to share with you.  Oops!

I've been busy preparing to teach a class at

my local scrapbook shop, and completing

the project I'm going to teach.

After the class, I will be sharing that

project with you.  I can't wait!!  :)

On to today's card!!

This digital image is one I've used previously,

and will use again and again,

because she's so precious!!

She's "Alisa with roses" by Mo Manning from

Mo's Digital Pencil.  I love the sweet look

on her face and the way her dress sweeps

to the side.  I think she's so sweet!!

A side glance for you:
