After a VEEEERY long hiatus, I'm back and beginning to blog again - at least for now! I'm getting back into crafting more again (though I've always been dabbling, even when I wasn't blogging about it) and always making cards for friends and relatives - as well as a few gifts here and there. I've been buying loads of new stamps and dies (I've gotten into the coordinating dies that match stamp sets - and it's way more fun than I initially guessed - and easier than I also thought). There is SOOOO much cute stuff out there- it's downright dangerous! Well on to my recent samples.... (I've even entered a few challenges on Simon Says Stamp's blog - they have Monday and Wednesday challenges). Except for the squirrel in the first example, most of the stamps are from My Favorite Things (the company). You can also see the Tim Holtz spider web in the one (I just love his new spider web set!). I'm getting into coloring with the alcohol markers a bit more, though I still use the Tombow markers quite a lot as well.
