Here’s a variation of this sketch I’ve been featuring the last couple of days. My favorite part is that you can orient the card any way you want. Just a reminder that any card you see on the blog or on my Flickr is available for sale. Simply contact me with your request.

I plan on tweaking it a bit but keeping up with my “Handmade by Shay” theme. I’d like to do a little more scrapbooking … Continue reading

Last week I took a card tricks class at my nearest Michael’s craft store. It was $25 to take the class but does not include the needed supplies. With the syllabus and receipt, you do at least get 10% off your purchase. All of that only matters if you are learning something new or want … Continue reading
