Welcome

I'm not even sure where to start....... but here goes. I have been an active Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator for two years (where has the time gone?) I truly enjoy the creative outlet that card making has given me and I often feel lost on the days I am not able to try new ideas or techniques. I offer monthly workshops and look forward to challenging myself to present different, interesting cards for those attending the workshops.

On my blog, my plan is to share some of the cards that are made at my workshops as well as some of the cards/ideas that didn't make the 'final cut'. Sometimes, I will provide directions for making the card. Other times, it will just be pictures. At times, I will let you know what I was trying to achieve with the card and why it did or didn't work out as I had hoped. I will try to keep you updated with promotions from Stampin' Up! along with my own personal specials.

In the beginning, my goal is to make weekly posts. As I become more confident in what I am doing here, I will increase postings to multiple times per week eventually posting on a daily basis. I still have LOTS to learn about setting up a blog. Please be patient with me as I add to the features and appearance of this site.

I look forward to having you join me on this journey and getting feedback from you, such as what you like, don't like, what you'd like to learn about, etc.

So to start us off, here is a card I made using the moose from the Walk in the Wild stamp set. Those of you that know me, know that I have a moose collection, which is why I chose to start with this card.

 

On this card, I tried something I saw on Pinterest using the Woodgrain background stamp and a white gel pen to create the look of individual boards.

 

Happy Stamping 4 Fun!
