    Hi Jeanie. Great job on your first video tutorial! I loved it!
    Now I have to go and buy some chalk inks along with my corner chomper, ha, ha. I've never used that type of ink ... now I've got to have some! Good idea on using the Nestabilities to create a frame too. I learned a lot from this video. A + Chickie!

    Hey what a great tutorial! Even though I've done this technique a hundred times, I still enjoyed it cause none ever does it the exact same way, and I love trying other ways. It could work better than mine. Thanks!
