Holiday Extravaganza

In the words of my 9-YO daughter, "This was the best day, EVER!" I got to host a craft day with some of the loveliest women on the planet yesterday. I hadn't met two of them until yesterday, but through the PTI forum, we were already friends. We had a great day crafting, talking, laughing and eating. Perfect! Unfortunately, none of the pics I took was a crafting action shot, but here are some from our gift exchange. You know it's a group of crafters when the packaging is admired as much as the gift!

Cindi and me. I consider this woman a dear, dear friend.

Thank you, ladies, for making this a most wonderful day. Let's do it again soon!

    Love the photos, Cheryl. Seems like you had a wonderful time. When I see photos like this I see a little green with envy and wish I lived close to some of my PTI friends. ;-)

    Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
