Thanks so much! Love the asian influence in the card. The stamp set is on my 'gotta have' list! Love the detail and length of your videos.

I think I'm incapable of making them short so it makes me feel good that the length is actually a good thing for you. for me, watching people craft has always been hugely pacifying, so...

Gerne! ..oh i'm totally new in scrapbooking and cardmaking... i think i need a whole starter set first! :) i think it's harder to get that stuff in germany and it's more expensive here (i'm a student) ... but i'm saving money for the bigshot :) and i'd love to make a paperbag mini album, have you made one of those?

[contadinaK]

Not necessarily a bad thing! sometimes I find when I have little to work with, I get quite inventive with what I've got. But yes, the Big Shot is awesome! I've seen a bunch of videos on paperbag mini albums, but haven't tried one yet - love the texture of a simple paper bag!

that's really pretty :))

love your cards!!!

Greetings from Germany :)

Thanks so much! Or rather, "danke!" Hope to see some of your crafty creations, too!

[cherryblossom2211]

Me too :) I wrap my gifts for birthdays in paperbags (just cut them "open") and then i decorate it with all kinds of ribbons and punches and so on... :) or i make origami boxes out of them... have a beautiful day!
