Snow Globe Card Tutorial - ON SCS!!

I AM SO FREAKIN' EXCITED!!! Ok. Trying to remain calm. But would you believe that little ol' me has a tutorial on the one and only Splitcoaststampers today? No? NEITHER WOULD I!!! But it's true. Do you remember last winter, I saw some adorable snow globe cards around the web and decided to try my hand at one? WELL. The one and only amazing Beate got wind of it and asked me if I'd write a tutorial for the following year's Holiday Tutorial Blitz. Did it blow my mind to find a message in my inbox from Beate Johns? Um, YES! Did I pee my pants? Just a little. :-) So... FOR THE PAST YEAR I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO ARRIVE!!! hee hee Give me a little thrill and head on over to Splitcoast and take a peek. Watch the video if you must. ;-) I'm just kidding - it took a lot of courage for me to actually make that video, but I did it (YAY!) and I'm not completely horrified by it. Mostly because you only see my hands. And perhaps one gratuitous arm shot. And have to hear my voice. Eek. I better stop thinking about it. (I'm just kidding - I'm actually somewhat proud of myself for actually figuring out how to film it AND edit it!) (Yes there are bad transitions, flubs and mumbling, but it's my first time!) hee hee So anyway... for my snow globes I used this ADORABLE snow girl image from FireCracker Designs by Pamela's Gifts of Love set. The snowflakes are from the companion Love Never Melts set. I just realized I goofed on the video and said they were from the same set - please forgive me, Pamela!! I have a couple other FCD snowman sets sitting on my desk uninked, so I may be back with a few more snow globes! :-) Let me know if you make one too, I'm dying to see what people make!! I'll be stalking the SCS gallery!! Thanks for stopping by today!
