Drive home 🙁
Wow, my drive home yesterday from Wichita, Kansas was a bit different than my lovely drive there, lol.
Drive there 🙂
It took quite a bit longer also. So today I am completely exhausted. My body hurts also from griping the steering wheel so tight in the icy conditions I found myself driving in. Thank goodness there was only 2 states that looked like this and the others where fine. Anyhow, I am so happy to be home safe and sound, but miss my friends in Wichita already.
Before I get to the tutorial today, I have a blog candy winner to announce.

Besides the creative release that stamping gives you that’s what stamping is all about, friendship, don’t you think?

Brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top of a 3″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Brayered Old Olive ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Inked up the trees only on this Lovely As A Tree stamp with Basic Black ink, omitting the grassy areas of the image. Stamped the image.
Extended the tree trunks a bit using a Basic Black marker.
Sponged in a shadow for each tree.
Stamped 2 birds from the Stampin’ Up Aviary set using Basic Black ink.
Drew in a wire using a Basic Black marker and a ruler.
Punched a 1 1/4″ circle from Basic Black card stock and folded it in half.
Adhered my main image panel to a 3 1/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Basic Black card stock. Wrapped the circle around the top of the card stock and adhered it on both sides.
Pierced holes along the bottom of the card stock using Stampin’ Up piercing tools.
Added a 3 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ piece of Old Olive card stock. Punched a hole in the top of the bookmark and added an Old Olive ribbon.
