Black History Month

I was asked to teach a card to a group of stampers on the theme Black History Month.

To me It makes me think of Africa and where I came from.

I used my Black is Beautiful die cut I created for the ATC swap and 2 stamps from

Repeat Impressions for the background. I cut a window in the top layer to frame the postage stamp. Take time and remember your roots whatever that means to you and celebrate

those who came before you.

ATC for Black History Month

I am a member of IOCSA (Images of Color Stamp Artist) yahoo group and Sandy Mayfield hosted an ATC swap with the theme of Black History. The ladies did some wonderful work!

Dominique

I am a member of the Fearsome Foursome a group of friends who do battle together against and for life! One has a birthday this week and the others are on the same day in early March!

I made these cards for them with a stamp I found at Loralie Designs called Dominique!

For the “Task Master”

For “Kimba” who will be fiercely 50 this year.

And for McDancer whose birthday is this week.

I also made McDancer this notebook to use in Bible Study tomorrow night.

It was a composition book that I covered with Mariposa Paper from DCWV

Enjoy every moment!
