I started this project at Linda's. We had a great time playing with the gilded leafing flakes in her craft room.

I have been leery of opening this project having heard that it is very messy. Indeed the messiness of this product is real, but not like glitter, this is more like floating ash from a fire.

I ran out of time to finish this at Linda's, giving me an opportunity to film...

Last weekend Libby and I dug into the new catalog! This is the first of three videos walking through the projects we made.

This is such a nice kit! I love the unique shaped card bases and that it works seemlessly for masculine and feminine cards.

I demonstrate many coloring techniques using Stampin' Blends markers.

Very few added supplies were used in the video and aside from some sort of small embellishments. The kit really does work well without any added supplies.

This week I had the pleasure of crafting in the flesh with my mom and her friend Shelley. I haven't crafted with someone other than my husband since last summer!  And I had to bring one new bundle - Quiet Meadow.

What a busy week! I had so much fun yesterday teaching coloring techniques using Stampin' Blends. They are such an easy medium to use. I am so, so glad that Stampin' Up! came out with their own alcohol markers! This means that the Copic classes I took so many years ago are put to good use in my Blends coloring classes.

At the end of last week's final comparison video I promised to use...
