Hello Friends! Crazy weather across USA. It was 104 degrees today in Los Angeles and it snowed in Wisconsin. Can you believe this crazy weather? It is Oct and over 100 degrees. Just nuts. Global warming is getting worse and worse.
I have been playing with my new Distress Oxide Inks and having so much fun. They blend so well and open up another world of creativity. The greatest thing for me, is that they do not smell. Most crafting products have a horrible odor and I am not able to work with them. I was delighted to find out that these did not smell.
I have always liked gorgeous backgrounds full of color; but I mostly use gorgeous designer paper. You will probably see more of my background and hopefully I will improve over time.
