I’ve been busy creating a couple of projects for the Scrap-Mart blog in anticipation of the new releases at CHA this weekend. I was lucky enough to get a couple sets of the new Spellbiners Grand Nestabilities to play with and can’t wait to share them with you once CHA is underway and they’ve been posted on the Scrap-Mart blog. I’ve also been busy with Kim Klassen’s Photoshop the Essentials class. Like the earlier classes I’ve taken for free, this is wonderful. I’ve learned a lot in just two days of lessons even though she’s been covering material I have had some experience with. It’s going to take a lot of practice to make some of these skills automatic, but that’s what I hope to do.
Here’s a card I created for the Scrap-Mart blog and sent to my adult nephew earlier this month. I love this Tim Holtz Alterations die and had a lot of fun playing with it. I die cut multiple images in different colored and textured papers and then cut out individual houses to layer on top of the kraft base. I added a little distress ink and a metallic embossed greeting.
It was -5° this morning and just too cold to venture outside! I do have a church meeting tonight for which I am the secretary, but I’m going to reward myself with a stop at Starbuck’s on the way!
Ooh, I love the feel of this card and the Tim Holtz-ness of it! Hmm, I don’t recall seeing this die cut. (oh..i don’t need it…i don’t need it) trying to talk myself out of looking for it, lol!
Wonderful card,Karen….I love the way you’ve used different colours with the houses….I think this is one of my favourites of his dies.
can’t wait to see all the new stuff! 🙂
Ooooh, that sounds to cold to be out and about!
I need to investigate Kim’s classes further – I have heard nothing but good reviews 🙂
Super, super, SUPER cute card, Karen! I love the look of the different textures on the houses. Hope you faired ok going out in the cold. Ugh! I don’t know how you do it! Spring is right around the corner…
Glad to hear the Kim Klassen class is going well. I want to do the last lesson from the free class, still, and then I’ll post my class review. I’m not sure her teaching style is for everyone. . .

What a great card! Lovely colours … We’ve had a mild spell (well, above freezing) over here but the temperatures are about to dip again – bother!
Oh, yum 🙂 OK, now I *need* that Tim Holtz die, and you’ve reminded me that I’ve been wanting to get hold of some Nestabilities for a while, too!
