InCoWriMo 2018 Days 1-6

InCoWriMo 2018 has been fun so far!

For Day 1 I wrote a note to a dear family friend on the 

postcard in the photo above. 

(You may recognize it as one I began last 

February - here, and finished in October - here.)

For Days 2-6 I am sending Valentine cards out that I printed using the digital stamp "You Have Mail" from The Paper Shelter.

I love that these digital stamps come with an outline you may color and with a colored image that you may just print.

In Picasa (free photo software), I added text to personalize each image. The images were then inserted into a Microsoft Word document and printed onto blank white cards.

Have you written any "snail mail" letters or cards recently? It is kind of fun knowing the recipients are not expecting them!

Thank you for stopping by!

August Coloring Class

In August, I discovered Kit and Clowder. Alyce at Kit and Clowder offers monthly coloring classes for pencils and for markers. 

If you have followed my blog very long, you may remember I have made crazy quilt blocks featuring fabric colored with crayons, acrylic paints, and watercolor pencils. I thought it would be fun to learn some techniques that would help me with those projects in the future. 

I was not sure what to expect with this class, but I fear I may be hooked! I have a lot of room for improvement, but I learned so much and this is soooo much prettier than it would be if I tried to color it on my own. (My husband just said he feels like I should frame it or something!)

The August class works on coloring backgrounds and features the digital stamp "A Little Bit Grumpy" from The Paper Shelter. (I might have purchased the stamp for the markers class and a snowman stamp, too. They are sooo cute!) 

If you are interested in Kit and Clowder there is a party this weekend celebrating 15,000 members with the Facebook Group with a lot of giveaways. (Some go through September 15th.)

This class is available through September 14th at Kit and Clowder. I cannot wait to see the class that will be released on September 15th!

Please note, I am not affiliated with either company.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
