Still Thinking Spring

No doubt you all are thinking Spring, as well. Hopefully, this will cheer you up a little. Before you know it, the crocuses (croci?) will be peeking out of the snow, followed by the jonquils, daffodils and tulips. Hang in there!
I love how you can get a pastel shade of any Stampin' Up color by picking up just a little ink from the lid of a Classic ink pad (press lid against pad before opening) using a Blender Pen! Then you can just keep adding color to deepen, adding shadow and depth. This works best on the Watercolor Paper.

  4. Cindy-
    I purchased a Kodak C182-- I purchased an Kodak Easyshare years ago and I like the way the software works. This particular camera specializes in close-up pictures, which is perfect for photos of cards you know!! I'm looking forward to playing around with it. Thanks for asking,
