Techniques class with Crystal!

I always enjoy classes with Crystal Komara, as she is so creative. I'm very lucky to live close enough to Crystal to enjoy her stamp camps, technique classes, and stamp a stack to name a few...

Crystal's website for you all to see her fabulous cards she creates is below, so just click the link!!

Tonights theme was magic cards!! At first we were all thinking this is way to crazy hard. But I have to say, I see some magic cards in my future!

Below are a few pictures of the 2 cards we made.
​I hope you enjoy them!

Happy sunny Sunday from Connecticut. We have some warm weather ahead and Easter is a week away, which means visiting my sister on Cape Cod. Who can complain about that, right!

​I've chosen to make an Easter card for my Mojo Monday Challenge.

Here's to a sunny weekend ahead for the Spring flowers from all this rain. So I stamped some flowers for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

I've had this stamp set for a while and needed to finally get some ink on those stamps.

Also a Happy Birthday to Simon Says and their challenge! I hope everyone enjoys this card.
