Another Smootchy Presto-y Card!

I'm just LOVING working with the Presto Patterns Specialty Paper in the Summer Mini Catalog – especially when paired with Smootch Spritz! It's just SO much FUN! Here is today's card featuring these fant-abulous items! This card was a mother's day card that I made for my sister-in-law.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Want to learn the complete ins and outs of how to use Presto Patterns Designer Paper and Smootch Sprtiz? Look no further than my Video Tutorial (Click Here!) featuring these items!
• Two of the colors that I have selected for this card are Blush Blossom and Brocade Blue. I have to be honest… you couldn't get me to touch Blush Blossom with a pole just weeks ago – but with it becoming part of the Color Renovation's Retiring Colors I've forced myself to break it out and I've been having a lot of fun with it! This might be a color that you want to add to your collection while you still can.
• Basic Grey works with these two muted colors to bring some contrast and make things "pop."
• Create your OWN Designer Brads by using Designer Brads in combination with halfback pearls as shown here. The silver base was once a Star Designer Brad – but you would never know. The halfback pearl from a Pretties Kit and secured with a Mini Glue Dot does just the trick to transform this brad into elegance.

I’ve Entered the Video Tutorial World!

That's right!! I've entered the world of video techniques and YouTube… eeeeek! I actually had FUN editing the Retreat Weekend Video, so decided to see if I could do a How To/Technique Video… that was kinda fun, too! So I've decided to run with it and begin uploading Video Tutorials.

My hope is that these videos will help better support my long distance customers and downline who cannot come to my classes, while at the same time provide another tier of service to the locals…

Off to the left sidebar you will now see a BRAND NEW Button that looks like this:

Just click the piece of Hodgepodge Hardware and you'll be brought to my brand new YouTube Channel! There you will be able to view all of my videos that are archived (we're not quite there yet with the "ALL of my videos"…. but will be SOON!) and subscribe to my Channel for updates!

So… here goes Video Tutorial #1 on Smootch Spritz and Presto Patterns Specialty Paper!
