  13. Especially like the paper bag creation. I have brown bags & white bags but not seem yellow bags. Is the yellow bag a gift bag of sorts? Wild about this stamp set. Wonderful creations. On my bucket list is to go on an African Safari. I used Be Wild & Free for the Simple Salutations Ch#3 Tree and used 2 inks to color it. It's like I'm part of the hop. You gals have such wonderful techniques for your creations.

  16. Janis, I've noticed that you have been doing more and more chalking and I love how it looks. May I ask how you are applying it? I have a large chalk palette, but can't seem to find the right way to apply it. I've used sponge tip applicators for the most part, but I am not happy with my results and yours look so beautiful.

    1. Hi, Denny! Chalking is so easy. I use a cotton ball when chalking large areas like the sky, grass or field, etc. I try to use a cotton ball with smaller areas, but sometimes need to clean up the lines with a "magic erase". For smaller areas I use a Q-tip. Sometimes I even use my finger. LOL Thanks for asking! Please let me know if you get this response. :)
