New Blog!

I realize many of you may be thinking, "New blog?  Was there an old blog?"

Yes, there was an old blog.  I started blogging a little over a month ago using a .mac free trial format.  WELL, the free trial is just about up, so I decided it was time to find a free format.  I will keep you posted on the transition.

I decided to spend some time today designing and pre-cutting for my card class coming up on April 28th.  We will be making 5 birthday cards using a number of different tools and techniques.  This should give new stampers an idea of just some of the options available when it comes to stamping.

Tools and techniques we will definitely be using include:

• punches
• paper-piercing tool
• rub-ons
• die-cuts

I will also be showcasing some designer series papers, favourite stamp sets, different kinds of cardstock, popular colour combinations and a selection of ribbons.

The card in the picture is the one I did today, and I am quite pleased with it.  I have not yet added stamped images to the inside, but that is the next step.  If you think you might be interested in attending this class let me know.  I have three spaces remaining.

I will be doing more stamping this week, between working and writing the FINAL PAPER for the PR program.  The end is in sight, and I can't wait to start my new job!  But that's another post.  

Happy stamping!
