Crafting with Cristina

This is from the online class I took last night with Cristina from Crafting with Cristina she does a fabulous class, I really enjoyed it and have made the first scrapbook layout in a very very long time... Thank you Cristina for taking the time to do these free classes for us and giving great inspiration.... Now I need to find just the right pictures to go on here... I'm thinking it will feature my little Lydia...

paper piecing digital stamps

I just tried laying (paper piecing) a stamp for the first time last night... I am thrilled on how it came out.. I used meljens designs swirly daisy pot digital stamp and it was a thank you card so I also bought Gratitude Sentiments set they can both be found at Whimsy Stamps. So today layering is my favorite thing about stamping.. I love learning new techniques.. I'm not happy with this picture, but for some reason the server will not let me upload another one.. I will try again later. Until Later Have a Great Crafty Day.. xoxo Valerie

Kinderstampo's January tag swap

This is my first month participating in Kinder0stamp's tag swaps, her theme this month is, "Wishing you a Peachy Birthday." And her guest tag swapper is Peachy Keen Stamp Queen,  Kathy! I had been really really wanting to get a set of Peachy Keen Stamps, so this swap was my incentive to purchase my first set. I got "Everyday Character Face Assortment". I used the Minto Flower from Myscrapchick and the tag cut I found on the MTC gallery.  My paper is Nana's Nursery from DCWV..  I'm really excited to see everyone's tags.. Thanks for looking.
