I have a friend!

Oh my God I love my job teaching stamping! I have met so many talented stampers who show me sooooo many great Ideas. But I have to share this one with you. My neighbor Kim tells me her Mom's work is amazing and intimidating( in a good way). I have been teaching both of them and have never seen her Mom's work. Well last month at our stamp ten group her Mom Jan brought her work. I about peed my pants and now you will see why! I had to go right out and purchase the carousel notes. I love the way she used our new circle cutter to create a crescent shape slightly off center. Not all the supplies are Stamin' up but I had to share with you what a talent and patience does. I will show you tomorrow what I came up with but no where near as nice as these! Thanks for the inspiration Jan! Thanks for looking Virginia
