I'm back!!!

A big THANK YOU!! to my dear & inspiring friend Mischelle Smith from The Angel Company hosting such fun Winter Retreat! Thank you Lori Betterley and Eva! You girls totally rock! What a cool time! I'm really proud to be part of TAC, they never stop to amaze me with their creativity!

We had three full days of rubber stamping & scrapbooking heaven in San Antonio, Texas. It's was refreshing to see all my TAC "angels" and learn great techniques/projects. In spite of my bad cold/flu I really had an awesome time.

On Friday, February 24 I spent the afternoon doing demonstrations on coloring with watercolor pencils, rubber stamping and working with patterned papers to create cards and scrapbook pages. (I'll post photos this week).

Part of the fun of these events is all the "trading & swapping" of hand-crafted/stamped gifts. My swap gift this year was this little altered lunchbox above. I used one of my brand new rubber stamp design for The Angel Company's Spring Catalog Supplement. Flowery Fun R-2019 as the main accent.

Here a close up from the stamped design on the lunchbox. I used watercolor pencils and added some little rhinestones as accents.

Have a great week! luv, mabelle
