While I am waiting on Laycock Designs and my turn at being restyled, I decided to start posting here and get a feel for the new technology I'm learning to turn this site into a Teaching Website. I want everyone to come and have a good time here, learn something new, and then bless someone you know with a card you've made yourself.
Pinterest has been giving me lots of ideas, but it can be paralyzing at the same time. You have to stop pinning long enough to actually MAKE something! I have, however, gotten to the point where I can see something and translate it into something it has inspired. Inspiration is different from CASEing.
Take the Masculine Graduation card above, for instance. On Pinterest, this was a card layout that really excited me! It was a birthday card on their site, had fish in it and on it, and used stamping products I had never seen before and were not Stampin' Up! products. As you all know, I use only Stampin' Up! products on my cards, and try not to tempt you with products that have been retired. The colors and style were strictly kid-friendly and not so easy on the postage budget either. Gorgeous, but not something I wanted to CASE.
Therefore, the card inspired me and I came up with something completely different, and a lot more Clean and Simple enough to be part of the Card Buffet I'm offering April 14th.
Also, I'm going to have regularly published tutorial newsletters "in my new life" that will be EXCLUSIVE to my subscribers. There will be gifts EXCLUSIVE to subscribers, a private You Tube channel, and weekly card tutorials, too!
