Stampin' Up! decided to retire the snail that it has had for years.  It did not always hold up the best especially for embossed card-stock.  They have introduced Seal and Seal+.  I bought some thinking that I would not like it.

This guy took our whole faculty and put us in one of the four corners of the room.  He did this by asking questions and depending on our answers we changed to that...

When you are looking at the DSP in the Suites like on p 11 and p 25 and many others notice the small circles at the top of the DSP.  Those are the coordinating colors of card stock.  I love that they put pictures of them instead of just words.  Techniques Now lets look at p 3. There are 6 different techniques shown on this page with examples.  If you are unsure how to do them there is google or there is me.  I will be happy to explain them to you. ...
