Hello everyone! It's a late start to my series of videos and giveaways and videos that I've been promising y'all. The kids and I had a good Christmas, and just spent time together here at home. It is INSANELY cold here right now (this morning we hit around -47C with the windchill - AKA it's COLD). To top it off the reason I'm behind with everything (and possibly why my voice sounds off in the video) is I have the WORST tooth pain - I broke one of my teeth and need a root canal. Of course my dentist (and all the ones we tried calling today including emergency) is off for the holidays. So I'm just struggling to get through the day let alone trying to work and create and edit. I don't wish this sort of pain on anyone (and it doesn't help that I have massive dental anxiety from extremely painful procedures when I was younger).
SO - that's my life update for the moment! I'm still going through with my videos and giveaways as planned it just might take me a little bit longer than I'd hoped to get them all up! I am so excited to have passed 60,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, and have over 12,000 followers on my Prairie Paper & Ink Facebook page and over 9000 followers on my Instagram! You all are helping me create this awesome corner of the interwebs that I enjoy adding inspiration to and hope y'all will enjoy visiting for years to come! <3 <3 <3

I used the Essential by Ellen Mondo Magnolia stamp set, and after heat embossing the image multiple times onto Canson XL watercolor paper I watercolored it with a couple of Daniel Smith watercolors.
I used the coordinating die set to cut out the flower and the inner flower and centre, then stacked them together with foam dimensionals.
I used one of the sentiments from the Mondo Magnolia set and heat embossed it with the same copper embossing powder that I had used on the outside and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
