I've been busy creating a couple of projects for the Scrap-Mart blog in anticipation of the new releases at CHA this weekend. I was lucky enough to get a couple sets of the new Spellbiners Grand Nestabilities to play with and can't wait to share them with you once CHA is underway and they've been posted on the Scrap-Mart blog. I've also been busy with Kim Klassen's Photoshop the Essentials class. Like the earlier classes I've taken for free, this is wonderful. I've learned a lot in just two days of lessons even though she's been covering material I have had some experience with. It's going to take a lot of practice to make some of these skills automatic, but that's what I hope to do.
Here's a card I created for the Scrap-Mart blog and sent to my adult nephew earlier this month. I love this Tim Holtz Alterations die and had a lot of fun playing with it. I die cut multiple images in different colored and textured papers and then cut out individual houses to layer on top of the kraft base. I added a little distress ink and a metallic embossed greeting.
It was -5° this morning and just too cold to venture outside! I do have a church meeting tonight for which I am the secretary, but I'm going to reward myself with a stop at Starbuck's on the way!
