Simon Says Stamp - A Beautiful World

First, and apology for being AWOL this week.   Even though I had good intentions to blog a couple times, I ended up being very busy on work project that had a very short deadline.  No problem to change up the schedule, but a little anxious over not blogging (can you tell?).

I had a friend come for a visit last week - so nice to be working across the table from someone who has so many techniques up her sleeve.  Even though we worked on stuff that "needed to get done", I still learned so much.  Wonderful to have the encouragement to get messy and explore new ideas.  We live about 6 hours apart, so I know we can't meet up too often but I sure wish we could!  Don't overlook the value of creating with a friend who inspires you to do better.  Thanks Richele.
 The work table got messy!
 A shot of one of Richele's projects (part of a class she is teaching at the end of March in Northern California).
One of my favorite shots - tags for a class I am teaching in New Zealand.  Some serious stencil love going on over here.
More Instagrams from this weeks work (just so you know I'm not just sitting around doing nothing!)  Maybe I should be packing for Africa...then again, I don't leave till Wednesday!

And just in case you thought I was leaving you without a tutorial today....I am guest blogging over at Simon Says Stamp  
today so please pop over to see what I created using the Found Relatives pack of cards.

Now carry on,
paula
