Lisa Lee's Holiday Inchie class today was probably the best Inchie class we've ever scheduled at Art 'n Soul. We learned many new techniques and special 'how-to' hints. Lisa shared her way of remembering dye inks v. pigment inks. Dye inks 'dry' fast. Pigment inks are piggy . . . longer to dry and good for embossing too. Everyone in the class was surprised to realize that all pigment ink pads have clear (transparent) lids so you can see the ink color. (I think 'duh' was echoed in unison!)

Deb Kuttel decided to start decorating her Magenta chipboard CAT. She selected the resting cat pose. These cats can also go over a framed picture, table edge (as shown below), and other places around your home, office or studio. There are 2 other poses available.

"Hi! I’m Lisa Bourget (a.k.a. 78thistles), and I am honored to have won the World Card Making Challenge on the Penny Black Blog. I would like to thank Penny Black for allowing me to share my work here with their wonderful stamps.
My husband and I live at the edge of an orchard in Massachusetts, with our two great boys. After I put my guys on the school bus, I like to be in my studio creating as much as I can. I like many types of media, though papercrafting is top on my list! I’ve been stamping for about three years and have enjoyed every minute. My style leans toward a slightly embellished Clean and Simple look. I love trying new techniques and products to see what I can do with them. I also enjoy changing up stamps as they are and combining different stamps together. Adding dimension with punched elements or whatever else I find interesting is not usual to see on my cards.
I had such a great time working with these Penny Black stamps and Mix & Match Cardstock. I worked with wood-mounted, cling, and clear stamps, and all three were excellent – all inked up great the first use! Penny Black’s range of stamp styles is terrific so anyone can find just what they’re looking for and not be disappointed. Thank you so much for the opportunity!"
At Journal Club on Friday, Judy Daugherty was busy making her holiday cards. They were beautiful!

And look who came to visit our yard Friday afternoon. You can see how well they 'herd' off of the property when I'm shooing them away -- NOT!
