Today's card is one of the cards I've made for this month's INSPIRATION STATION at Art 'n Soul. It's so easy to make. To start with, look in your left-over paper stash because I'm sure you'll find some wonderful papers you've forgotten about.

Jenny Gropp has made a BOO shaker card using new dies from Impression Obsession. It looks like a lot of detail work but when you read Jenny's posted details, it doesn't seem too complicated if you've made shaker cards before.

A shout out to fans of Rubbermoon stamp designs and the creativity of the owner, Kae Pea (aka Kristen Powers). She's driving across the country to teach at Art 'n Soul on the last weekend of this month. We don't know when she'll be back in the northwest, so please don't miss out on this opportunity to take a class from Kristen.
I've waited so long for Kristen's return to Art 'n Soul and the class dates are rapidly approaching. I am going to be at all 4 of the classes . . . how about you? I'd love to see you have as much fun and joy as I plan to have at these classes.
This first class is going to be so creative, fun and imaginative. I've seen more than one of these matchbox Shrines that Kristen has made and they are adorable. I can't wait to proudly display one of my own.
