For my second card, I used a Memory Box die for the sentiment and built a little swag using the small images in today's set.

Tutorial Time - Quilling

I almost dreaded this Tutorial Time challenge for this week. I had tried Quilling several years ago with no great success. But I decided to give it another go. Lis Robson wrote the tutorial, which you can find here. Card Maker magazine has an on-going column on quilling, so between the tutorial and the article I thought I might be able to come up with something acceptable. Here is my result, which is actually better than my first try:

How about giving it a try yourself. Link your card up on the challenge over on Speedy TV. You might win a free stamp set.
