Hi Crafty Friends! I am so glad that you’ve joined us today to give thanks and celebrate the heroes helping us to stay healthy and safe during these difficult times. My favorite quote from Mr. Rogers is, “… Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Isn’t that fitting for today?
This is my first invitation to participate in an Altenew hop, and I am thrilled to participate as a certified educator. I’m even sharing a video tutorial for this pretty floral card, and I give tips for simple watercolor effects for backgrounds and stamped floral images. You can watch the video below:
This is no ordinary hop! We want you to join in on the fun as well. There is a Linky Party going on at the Altenew Card Blog. All you have to do is link up your creations based on the theme of the hop, which is “Giving Thanks,” and mention that you are taking part in the Altenew Educators Blog Hop and Linky Party. So what are you waiting for?! Link up!
