Is there a quick tip or technique you’ve discovered lately that you’d like to share?

I always like to ink the edges of my pictures and would run the StayzOn ink pad across the edges. A couple or several months ago my ink pad was a little dry and no longer inking well. I decided to use my alcohol ink markers to cover the edges. Best thing ever! On the down side is that I keep misplacing markers

Lolis that is a great tip. All my ideas are regular normal things you already do. I did make my first Sampler page this weekend and my advice to you is to just try it. It is easier than it looks. I used scraps as well so it was a double wamey. WooHoo!

That is so cute! I’ve made them before, but I haven’t made one with a winter theme.

I've got nothing, but thanks for sharing yours.

Thank you! I just decided I want to make one for every month. At first I was stumped but the 2nd day I began to focus on just one square at a time and all of a sudden it transformed and made my heart happy!

When I use white paper as my background I use an ink pad and run it around the edges to give it some definition and color
