New tutorial today, and a link or two

Before I get into the stamping stuff today I wanted to say thank you to everyone for being such loyal supporters of my blog.  I can't tell you how much it means to me when you leave a comment or send me an email, especially right now : )  Without going into detail this is a trying time for my family, especially for one member, and sometimes it is all I can do to get through the day.

Anyhow, enough of that, and onto some stamping : )  How about we start with a few cards I made this week?

Here they are, first a Tilda card (and I have discovered that there is no middle ground with Magnolia stamps, either people love them or hate them, and I am in the love group):

Yes, it is a very "purple" card, just felt "purple" I guess.  Tilda is colored with Distress Ink, and the flowers are all embellished with Pearl Pens (absolutely LOVE that product!) and Glamor Dust Glitter.

This is a Swiss Pixie stamp, colored with Copic markers, the flowers are also colored with distress ink and with Glitter Pens.

And here is my new tutorial for Paper Craft Planet,  I hope you like it and try this method for customizing your flowers (speaking of flowers I ordered from Wild Orchid and got my order on Saturday, wow!  Quick, inexpensive and GREAT flowers!):

And yes, a few links, here you go:

Vintage Paper Flower Posies:  Very cute idea on a flower you can make without much trouble.

Nestie Storage:  A very good way to store your nesties, if I had room I think I would try this method.

Stickles Storage:  Great ideas on storing your bottles of Stickles.

101 Ways to use Stickles:  From the same blog that had the storage for Stickles is this long list of what you can do with your Sticles when you are not storing them ; )

Ok, that is all for this week, have a FANTASTIC week, and thank you so much again for all of your support.
