a couple of firsts

first #1
this week i'm going to participate in my first card making challenge. it's a hero arts card making challenge and i'm really excited about it. there are 4 sketch options and i think i'm going to go with the the 4th one, but who knows i may change my mind. or i might do a couple and let you know which one i like best.
its so easy to be inspired by the beautiful cards shari made.
so here's hoping my skills are up to the challenge.

first #2
for all of you, who like me, are addicted to the thinking inking class. i know you're as sad as i am that this is the last week.

this was actually the first class i've ever "attended" online. i wish i'd been able to buy all the supplies and properly follow along. the great thing is that since it's online i'll always have the video's to reference, and when i get the products i can go back to the video. i've learned SO much from this class, and this is my official thank you to Jennifer McGuire and everyone at Two Peas, Ranger, & Hero Arts for an AMAZING CLASS! (especially since it was free, and for all of the skills that were taught they certainly could have charged).
