It has been hard to get back into card making, but I have being trying to get some quality crafting time in before school starts once again. It is hard to believe that I soon will be starting my 6th year of teaching! Where has time gone. I am excited this school year though because I am going to try my hand at teaching community ed courses once again, hopefully I get some takers this time. I feel my classes are a great deal, because I love doing this and I want people to realize this is fun and that I have some cool ideas for classes. I will try to post samples here as I make them.
This is my take on Beate’s Weekend Sketch from Friday. I worked on this as I made cards at the local scrapbook store. I love this paper from DCWV and I was able to use my Nestabilities for the first time. I was semi successful, there is a learning curve to using them with the cuttlebug.
Stamps: Pencil Bowl from Lockhart Stamps
Paper: DCWV Grade School Stack, Cardstock from American Crafts, White paper from Papertrey Ink
Coloring Technique: Sharpies, Prismacolor Markers, Bic Mark It Marker

. I even went to a crop a the local scrapbook store last night and brought some sketches with me to complete there. I love having the chance to craft with other people. It was a fun night. I think they even talked me into going on a retreat with their store in October. Sounds like the perfect time to work on Christmas crafts and cards.
