Our guest demonstrator tonight was Terri Sproul.  She taught us how to use her mixers from Sakura Hobby Craft.  We each received a pot of the yummy mica powder and a tube of diamond glaze so we can experiment.

Gayle, owner of Gee’s Gee’s Stamps n Stuff, gave us a lesson on using Tim Holtz Distress Stains.  Check out the tag she made in a matter of minutes.  Gorgeous blend of colors!

Our swap this cycle was bottle cap charms.  We each received all of these charms.  Isn’t it amazing how each one is completely different!
