Bella Carta at Art 'n Soul

I'm back!

We left for a quick trip to Las Vegas with about 20 other people (family and friends) on Thursday and returned this afternoon. The wi-fi at the hotel was so bad that I couldn't access what I needed to most of the time, so that is why the lack of new postings. Thanks for your patience!

On the Elizabeth Crafts Designs' blog, Judi Kauffman shows how she decorates her mailing envelopes. With only one sheet of peel-offs, Judi was able to decorate 7 envelopes!

And here's Vicki's second Christmas card for Impression Obsession. I just love the way she's framed the snowman in an offset way.

A Magenta stamp that has been popular at Art 'n Soul is featured on a Christmas card design by Manon Couture . . . remember, we now submit our 'pink sheet' orders to Magenta on a weekly basis. Want this one? If I don't have it in my new stash of Magenta stamps, I'm going to order it!
