P.S. Where I’ve Been…
You might have noticed that it’s been a little quiet here since my last video & blog post. At the time, I mentioned that I’d be heading out to Vancouver Island to celebrate my dad’s 75th birthday—it was such a special trip, and I’m so grateful I got to spend that time with him! 🎉💖
However, shortly after I got back, he had to go back into the hospital, and between traveling, spending extra time with family, and then coming home and catching a bug myself (ugh! 😷), I’ve been moving a little slower than usual. But I’m finally feeling better and SO excited to be back in my craft room, creating and sharing with you all again!
The good news? My dad is improving every day. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as he continues to recover from his health issues—it truly means so much. 💕
I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…

Can’t wait to try this technique with watercolor pencils! And I love, love, LOVE the cards you made! Where did you get the tiny little butterflies you added to the card with the mushrooms and the purple swirly embossed background?

Also, can you do this technique with photopolymer stamps too? Or is it best to stick to the red rubber stamps?
Both will work! Have fun!
