Sites for Vintage Photos

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are starting your week off to a good start.  Someone asked me where I get my vintage photos from, so I decided to post it.  Whenever I find an image that I like, I will save it in a folder on my computer. I don't use a lot of sites to collect images, but I think these two are awesome. If you would like to add one, just add it in the comments section. I've been busy doing a mini series on Tim Holtz' Lost and Found paper collection. I really love his paper.  I decided to do more kits in my store too, because I love being able to have people try out different products, different embellishments, etc.  So, if there is a kit you would like to see, please let me know.  So, here are the two links I promised. Enjoy!

Have your cake and eat it too!

Here's the final picture of the cake I made for Kayleigh. I am also going to attempt to make a wedding cake this year...hahaha.  The recipe is delicious. It's an Almond Vanilla Cake with Sour Cream. The cake itself was not hard to bake. But, the decorating was a challenge. The kids loved it, and I got a thumbs up from my daughter on using the same recipe for her wedding cake!! Yay. I think next time, I am trying fondant...and maybe my Cricut Cake Machine too....Enjoy!

I did it!

I'm so happy I took the Copic Certification Class! I learned so much from Jennie Black. It was so 

worth it for me because now I am able to teach Copic classes locally! We learned about the 

color wheel, coloring techniques, skin color choices, airbrushing, and mainly had so much fun! 

I guess that's what happens when you get women together to craft, right?? Please stay tuned 

because you will see more as I build up my inventory of Copics! Have a great week!

So, I do not wish to disappoint anyone.

5.    Please try to follow theme of swaps, but don't run out and spend money to do them-get creative! You need not use the newest papers or embellies- just have fun!

That's it. If you have questions, just ask me, I am happy to help you.
