Good morning blog land!  I just wanted to give a quick update with when I will be teaching in the Bonney Lake Ben Franklin Store for November.  I try to offer the classes multiple times a month, but the closer it gets to the holidays the more activities there are going on in the store so I am not able to offer the classes as often.  Anywho.....here is November!

Sweet November Stamps Preview Day Three Angel Harmony

Good morning all!  I sure hope you all have enjoyed the past few days of the Sweet November October previews and that I have given you some inspiration too!  Today marks the last day of my guest appearance and before I introduce you to the newest image, I want to sincerely thank the creator of these wonderful images, Amy Young, for this wonderful opportunity she has given me!  I have had a blast working along side of her and her Sweet November Gals, Marion and Nancy!

Now, on to the good stuff!  I introduce you to.....Harmony!  Amy has really created a wonderful theme with these angels of peace, love, joy and happiness! Perfect for this holiday season!  I did something  little different with Harmony in that I paper pieced her dress, which I have never done before.  I used a embossing pen and outlined the swirls and then heat embossed with UTEE ( for those that don't know UTEE is Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel).  I just wanted to try something a little different than just coloring everything all the time, so I would love any feedback on this! You can't really see it in the picture but I added Spica pen to both the horn and wings.

Please make sure you check out the other Sweet November Gal's blogs. I'm sure that AmyNancy, and Marion have created something awesome to share with you today.  Remember there will be a chance to win to  the new release each day.  All you have to do is leave comments on the Sweet November Gals' blogs (winners will be announced on Amy's blog blog on Saturday, Oct. 6th).  All of the stamps will be available for purchase in the All That Scraps's Store on October 5th. 

Thanks so much for taking a peek at my card today!  Please feel free to continue to follow my blog even after I am no longer a guest gal for Sweet November stamps.....hee hee!

Sweet November Stamps Preview Day Two Angel Noelle

Good morning everyone and welcome to day two of the Sweet November stamps preview for October.  Today I would like to introduce you to a very sweet new angel called Noelle.  She is so precious!  Just sitting there holding her little lamb without a care in the world!  Wow!  I wish I could feel as peaceful as she looks!  My card for today is a little subdued for me.  I usually put a lot of flowers and other embellishments on my cards but this time I really wanted to keep the focus on sweet Noelle.

BTW.....I am still trying to learn how to do pleats so don't look to closely....haha!

Sweet November Stamps Guest Gal Snowflake Fairy Neva

Hello my fellow crafters and Copic lovers!  What a wonderful weekend we had!  Just a little bit of rain but then the sun came out and it tuned out beautiful!

Today I am so excited to share with you a card I completed for a spotlight that is being done on me through Amy Young, creator of Sweet November Stamps.  You can check it out at here.  Every summer my family goes to Lake Chelan for vacation.  I met Amy a couple years ago and I have been so fortunate to have colored with her a couple of times.  This past summer she asked me if I would be a guest designer (a Sweet November Gal)  for her stamps for October.  I was so elated....of course I said yes!  It has been a long wait since then but we are finally here, so without further adieu.....

This image is called Snowflake Fairy Neva.   I just love all of the Sweet November stamps, but this one especially caught my eye as I love the peacefulness of snow and the beauty of this girl combined with the snowflake just melts my heart.

Thank you so much for taking a peek today at my card.  I hope you like it.
