fun with friends

I spent some time yesterday at Colette's with Susan and Jocelyn. Colette gave a workshop on backgrounds. We all made fabulous backgrounds (go to Colette's blog to see what she did with hers.
Here are mine. I'm hoping to have some time to add some foreground before I go to Phoenix!

Next up at Colette's -- Carving your own stamps! If you don't know already, Colette has a line of stamps that has been put out by Stampington. I love them! (I have most of them). Anyway -- I'll let you know when Colette is doing her next workshop -- please join us :)
