CTMH Pigment ink to alter buttons and blings!

Wow! This turned out so cool! 

I took our NEW bulk flowers and used our pigmented ink, sprinkled clear embossing powder and heat set it with my magic heat tool!  Now my flowers match my card!

Thank you Damask Diva, Stephanie Davis for sharing this idea!

Team Meeting on FEB.13th-Wed.

ALERT!!! FEB Team meeting changed!
Due to me being out of town on Thursday Feb 7th, I have changed our team meeting to Feb. 13th, a wednesday nite. (Can't and didn't want to book Valentines Day!)

We are looking for a relocation for our meetings.  The Sizzler is remodeling and their banquet policies are changing.  They require 30 people and a deposit fee.  Since we are usually a crowd of 20ish, that is not going to work for us.  So on to plan B.
Suggestions?
Please RSVP!
