Hi Everyone, thought I'd just share with you what I taught my CreateAbles team ladies today (for those of you who are part of my team and weren't able to join us I am uploading instructions, and more photos for you on our team facebook page) Anyway on with the blog post!  I taught them "Step" cards; side step and middle step Here is the "Side Step": We used the new Carols of Christmas stamp set and thinlits (love the cute little deer!)

Next up: These trees are cut out of the card, and I've layered Pear Pizzazz cardstock under it with Clear Wink of Stella painted on top to give a sparkly effect (oh and here's the saying stamp all together!) Then I moved onto this car...
