Happy April and lots of hopes

Well.. no jokes from me this April Fools! lol I’m just so glad we’re through with March! I knew it was going to be a crazy month! When finished up March with more snow but that wasn’t actually so bad a thing. I was trying to get in the Christmas mood, designing for some calls and the snow helped. At least I hope it did!

Last month Iended up taking FOUR courses instead of three. One of them runs into April and I have a few things to finish up for Digi in Deep but I’m thrilled I took them as I learned so much. Actually, I’m anxiously gearing up for May as I’ve added more classes to my wish list. I hope I’ll get in as I know there are limited spaces. I’ve also been hard at work designing my first full stamp set for Cornish Heritage Farms. It will be released next Tuesday and I’m getting pretty excited. I can’t wait to start sharing it with you so stay tuned. I’ll be sharing sneak peeks starting Thursday. I’m a little nervous so… Hope you like it!

This is a card I created for my Craft Critique Scor-Mat review. While it might not be initially apparent why I created this design, I used the Scor-Pal to create a background grid for one of the layers and then tested the Scor-Mat  by painting the Distress Crackle Paint on the butterfly on it as well as stamping with pigment ink. I’m using my Scor-Mat on almost every project now. It makes a fabulous work surface.

Quick Tip: Chipboard is so easy to customize by painting with Distress Crackle Paint.

HOPE you have a fabulous day!
