    Jennifer, you are amazing and wonderful! This video is just what I needed! I struggle to use up all my inky backgrounds so I will be giving all of these examples a try! Thanks for helping me see things differently!

  2. Ann-Marie Ostermeier says:

    Stunning cards! I hope you are doing a little better than yesterday since dropping your son off at college. You could always send him goody boxes with baked goods, maybe some school supplies, or other things he loves plus of course a card from you and husband. My Mom used to send me boxes of goodies when I went away for college and they were such a treat to get. I’m getting the limited edition interference inks after watching your live yesterday and I’m so excited to try them.

  3. TKS says:
