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.

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”

006

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

004

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!
