Inspired by...: I'm in the CLASSroom!

March 14, 2011

I'm in the CLASSroom!

Well, you’ve waited an extra day for my announcement… so here it is! I am SUPER thrilled to be a guest designer over on Ellen Hutson’s fabulous blog, the CLASSroom! I have been a huge fan of the CLASSroom for quite some time and can’t believe that lil’ ol’ me actually has a tutorial over there. I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity. So with that being said, be sure to pop over HERE to see exactly how these two cards were created using products from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft line and Hero Arts stamps.

And not only is Ellen Hutson sweet as can be, she is also very generous. She’s given me this Faber-Castell Mixed Media Starter Kit to giveaway here on my blog.

Leave a comment on this post by midnight, March 17th for a chance to win the entire kit! Ellen Hutson will then select the winner using a random number selector and post the winner both here and in the CLASSroom.

Oh, and be sure to stop by tomorrow for our next day of inspiration with Joy! HUGS!
