First off.. I'd like to take the time to thank you all for your very kind words, prayers and comfort for my niece Courtney. She has made a nearly complete recovery! What a girl!
Since I've been home from Houston, I worked with more 2012 Hero stamps...gahhh there are some must haves!!! We also worked on some Catalog Debut cards which you will start seeing in a store near you. These are some great samples with awesome stamps! I'll sneak peek as soon as I get the go ahead, but in the meantime, you can catch some peeks on the Hero Blog.
Then I had my technique article... did you all have a chance to see it? I know there has been tons happening on the Hero Blog, and sometimes it gets a little lost. Here's a close-up shot... the theme being Bling it Up!
This is really easy to make, just grab your scraps of paper,
your buttons, pearls, gems or what-ever you want to use on your tree.
So FUN!!! You can catch the video HERE.
I'm heading out in the morning to teach a couple classes at Memories and Beyond in Downers Grove, IL. THEN, on Thursday, I head out to Washington DC, I'm teaching at the Happy Stamper in Reston, Virginia!!! I can't wait.
I hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep! :o)

Shari, I always find your technique articles first thing - love this idea of a button tree and can't wait to try it myself! Looking forward to those sneak peeks :)
Beautiful tree, Shari - this is definitely on my "try this list"! I have used the HA clear buttons before, but have really on stamped on them with Staz-on. I really like the idea of backing them with pp. Thank you for this lovely inspiration.
