Hello Friends, How are you today? By the time this post goes live I sure hope all of the glitches are worked out. If you haven’t noticed I am experiencing some blogging technical problems. Thank You for your patience.

Today I have a video for you that I created for Sandy Allnock to put on her blog but, I wanted to share it with you too. Sandy is one talented colorist and is the founder of Operation Write Home!! I am sure you will agree that she’s a lady of many talents! You can find her personal blog here.

If you like the video please give it a thumbs up. Sandy gave me a beautiful into on my video and added some jazzy music so if you want to see the changes you will find them on Sandy’s blog here.

This is an exclusive stamp created for STAMPtember® by Avery Elle on sale for a very limited time. Creating a fun background is a great way to jazz up a solid stamp before stamping or embossing.

    I love how you created your plaid background, and your map is fabulous, Kathy! How fun that you added an image of Sandy to the inside of your card…so cute!

    Thanks so much for the video…I really enjoyed it! I also LOVED the video you created for OCC on Friday, too! You have such a lovely “teaching style”, and your Copic coloring is amazing!
