RAK - November 4, 2011

What is RAK? It stands for Random Act of Kindness and today is Random Act of Kindness Day where I live.

So get out there and do something you wouldn't normally do for someone, like buy the person behind you in the drive thru their coffee...that's what I did!

World Card Making Day

Did you know October 1 was World Card Making day? If you are a card maker you sure do! I held a card buffet that day and customers could come and make any of the seven cards on display and as many of each card that they wanted. This is one of them, inspired by Samantha Forrest

Until next time, happy stamping!

My Christmas class in October featured the Christmas Lodge stamp set from the Holiday Mini.

Christmas in September

Well a month has gone since my last post. That's not cool! I have many excuses but who really wants to hear them!

My Christmas in September card class featured the Stocking Punch and matching stamp set.

 This card just used the punch

 This card used both the stamp set and the punch

 Just the punch again and glitter paper!
