For months now, my just-turned-8 year old daughter Julia has been begging and pleading with me to teach her how I create my Mixed Media pieces. Now don’t get me wrong – Julia has pretty free access to many of the supplies in my studio and already really enjoys making cards. In fact she’s been …
Faux Glassine Technique Featuring 7 Gypsies & Prima
On yesterday’s post on the Sunny Stampin’ Blog – I showed a card that featured a technique which I came up with called Faux Marbled and Stained Glassine.

Vintage Keepsake Tin
A few years ago I was selling a few kits that included Stampin’ Up!’s Accents and Elements felt flowers. As a result of selling SO many kits, I ended up with a ton of the empty tins. Of course, being the kind of person that likes to save everything that can possibly be used in …
