For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about - I have to decide if I want to sign a new demonstrator's agreement with Stampin'Up! by the end of the month. If I don't sign it I can no longer sell product. If I DO sign it I can no longer share information with you about products that aren't Stampin'Up! It is a very difficult decision for me. It pretty much comes down to INTEGRITY and I'm afraid if they don't amend the agreement before the end of the month they will force me to resign.
So, putting that behind us for now, lets get on with today's works of heart - 3 to be exact.
The first one is a remake of yesterday's attempt at a Zindorf. I'm STILL not 100% satisfied - but getting closer. I realized that with the moon coming up from behind the trees you would only see light on the very tips of the right side branches of the trees - so there is a bit too much white on my pines. Other than that - I'm basically happy with it.PRODUCT USED - ALL SU!

Sponges
SU! Brilliant Blue Ink
SU! Lavendar Lace Ink
SU! Almost Amethyst Ink
SU! Basic Black Ink

I get Christmas Card magazines at my day-job office this time of year and I love to look through them for ideas. This next card was inspired by a card in one of the magazines. Theres used a lovey pine bough but I LOVE this stamp set from Stampin'Up! and wanted to use it.PRODUCT USED:
SU! Scenic Seasons Stamp Set
SU! Whisper White Card Stock
SU! Real Red Card Stock
SU! Markers - Handsome Hunter, Real Red, & the retired Forest Foilage
SU! Heat n Stick Powder
Crushed Glass Glitter
NOTE: When I received this stamp set I cut the sentiment apart from the image to make it more versatile and easier to use.
The last card I made last night is also inspired by Michelle Zindorf. I've found I really like using the large craft sponges and brayer to create backgrounds. If you haven't tried her technique yet you've really got to give it a whirl. LOVIN' IT!!!PRODUCT USED

Love the purple mountains with the moon behind (lol, your first version was totally fab, too!). The Christmas card is so wonderfully CAS, and the pumpkin card is very festive and energetic. Great work on all three!
