Oh My! Where have I been?

I can't believe my last post was February 1- where has the time gone??? It's mid-March and the signs of spring are all around. Can't wait for the flowers to start blooming and the days to get longer.

March's Technique Tuesday is Plaid Stamping. You can use any stamp with a solid or almost solid image and come up with some cute, one-of-a-kind cards. Don't miss out - Technique Tuesday has been moved to the 3rd Tuesday of the month so March 15th is the date. I start at 6:30 p.m. and you can drop in any time before 8:30 p.m. It doesn't take long - and for the $5 fee you get the printed instructions, a sample, a card using the technique and a sheet protector for a 3 ring binder so you can store all your techniques together and refer to them often.



This is the card we are going to make on March 15th. It could be a birthday, thinking of you, or even a get well card.
