Totally TURTLES

Hello! I'm starting to do a monthly scope for card making. Want to join? Make sure you follow me on Periscope so you'll be invited to watch. It's a fun interactive way to participate in my class without having to fly, drive or teleport from your location. LOL. I'll be starting the scope around 7:15pm Central Time. I hope you can check it out. Replay will be available for 24 hours. We'll be making that cute Valentines Card. Have a blessed day! Jackie

I have just started to play with this manly lumberjack stamp set. He's perfect for Valentine's Day. Here's the colors I came up with for the shirt. Which one do you like? Top to bottom: Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, Lost Lagoon, Real Red, Pear Pizzazz So far I'm liking the Marina Mist best. Here's the card I made for my hubby.   Stamp Set: Wood you be mine? 137134 Paper: Early Espresso CS, Whisper White CS, Adventure Bound DSP stack 137780 Ribbon and twine from Stampin' Up! I even decorated the envelope. Woo hoo. I'm getting fancy. LOL. I hope you enjoyed stopping by. Leave a message for me. Jackie

LOL).  But you could use sticky strip for a better hold. Next you stamp the whale with Pool Party Ink, cut it out with the clearlet, draw cute eyelashes and a mouth, then add a bow with our bakers twine. I did sponge a little on the box and whale image. How do you store your spon...
