I love the luscious boldness of this set.  Great for summer cards!  And great for the smell-o-vision embossing powder!!!!!  You can also mix regular KoolAid  with clear embossing powder, to get smells we don't carry!!!!

It has been a busy couple of weeks.  Thursday night we had our make-up Technique class for the one that was cancelled due to snow!!!!  We were looking at dying with the re-inkers.....so here is what we did.  This first one is a gift card holder.... and was our project card.  We used the new filter paper, and brayered ink onto it.  Then made a little card to fit inside it. 

This one is using the bath dying with the Cabvas Creations in the  Spring Catalog.  We all died some canvas for our page in our book.  It's a graduated dye....and looks much better in person!!!

This one is my favorite.  I used the 5/8" Flower Trim in the Spring catalog.  Clipped of 2 of the flowers, and died them the same way I did the canvas above.  they weren't getting quite as dark as I wanted so I put a few drops of re-inker in one of the little spritzer bottles and a few drops of alcohal, and spritzed them...and that did the trick!!!! 

Here are the cards that we did as projects at Inkslingers, last week.  I love the butterfly one!!!!

This is a really easy lasagne recipe....I need easy, my life is just too complicated!!!!  I like that you just use regular lasagne noodles...and don't have to pre boil them!!!!
