Happy Saturday, friends! Yesterday I went live over on YouTube with these alcohol inks holiday backgrounds cards. All of the cards were made with alcohol inks on Yupo Paper and the cover plates are all from hero Arts. Background Lift Ink techniques were created with Simon Says Stamp backgrounds.

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there.

Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
