ATSM #497 - Christmas



I watercolored a Birdie Brown MFT image in remembrance of the shop which recently closed. 



I wish it weren't so for a lot of the papercrafting companies and otherwise which have had to close these last few months.  Sigh.  They will be missed.

ATSM #496 - Make Your Mark


I used the Lawn Fawn Pull 'n' Slide Surprise dies for the latest Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #496 Make Your Mark.


It was super easy to understand how to use the interactive dies and I've already made a few cards with it.  


The part that took the longest was figuring out the scene.  What did I want on the front as well as the reveal at both the top and bottom?


And then there was choosing the papers--so many possibilities!  I was able to use up some scraps which is always a plus.
