My eldest becomes a teenager soon
where did the time go?

While crafting with fellow DT member

this precious image in her stash (uninked and brand new)
dare I ask to be the first to ink it? YES!
Thanks, Jen!

Coffee Collar Album

Project from GIBBS2
on the Cricut Message Board
One of the challenges was to create a
 Coffee Collar Album
I was paired with my younger sister!!!!
I decided to fill hers with colored images.
(We joke that I am the #1 colorer in our family :))
She is one of the most talented crafters I know and I
admire her work tremendously!
The images are:
Tildas
Sugar Nellies
Whiff of Joy
and Belles 'N Whistles
I used Copics and Twinkling H20s

I painted the coffee collars in Chocolate Acrylic Paint
and placed the sentiments and embellishments
under transparency paper.
My Bind-It-All made assembly easy!
Thanks for looking!
