 September 2021

🙋 Hi Friends,

It's been a few months since I've been here.  I finished the Wedding Album and am now madly working on the Hawaii Scrapbooks, two of them.  I'm still making lots of cards and just finished my 2021 Christmas Collection.  This year I featured Graphic 45 on the collection.  You can see them below.

I've also done a few cards using rubber stamp images and coloring with alcohol ink pens like Copic, Tombow, and Prisma Color.  NEWS FLASH!!!!  I made an accidental discovery.  You can use "BIC Mark It" markers the same way you can any brand of alcohol pen and "BIC Mark It" markers are very inexpensive (see my comparison image below).  WOW!  WOW!  Really good way to save money and have the same result. 

I no longer have my video studio. When I retired and moved into our smaller retirement house my craft room got downsized by 60%.  The studio was the first thing to go so,  if you are a novice at coloring and shading with alcohol inks, here is a link to a video that demonstrates the technique:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r3r9wnr3pQ

Make sure you book mark the link in your Web Browser so you can go back to it for repeated viewing.  

So long for now.  Be back soon with some images of the Hawaii Scrapbook.

Thanks for visiting.  Carol😊
