First - I must say that the original date on this post was February 11th. SERIOUSLY!!!! What happened to me??? The answer - LIFE!!
We have had some issues with my middle daughter over the past month and we are finally seeing the light. We have one more doctor's appointment at the end of this month and I hope that we will have ALL of the answers then. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone for sticking with me during this time and even sending occasional emails to make sure that I was OK. You all are the BEST!
With all that has gone on over the past month, I have realized how much I love SU! and owning my own business. I took a month and slowed down the pace - BUT - I still have a job and customers to come back to! This worked perfectly for me. It may work perfectly for you - let me know. Now back to our previously scheduled post.....
I just love this time of year - Sale-a-bration!! Buy what you love and get even more of what you love for FREE - stamps, ribbon and paper.
I have to say that my favorite set this year is the Botanical Blooms. As soon as I had it mounted, I already had a picture in my mind of the first card that I wanted to make with the set. I had to make a simple, geometrical card with a Faux Silk focal image.
Faux Silk??? You've never heard of faux silk???
I had seen several cards using this technique and was just itching to try it out. Simple WOW and stunning are the best way to describe it. Check out the tutorial HERE and give it a whirl.
