    Shari, I had the privilege to take all of our classes when you were in Buffalo last year and most recently took classes from Dyan Reavely when she visited Buffalo a few months ago. What a great marriage of the two styles. I love, love, love your work and the art journal feature on SimonSays Stamp. thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us.

    Wow! Why are all the best tips always the simplest? Why did I not think of using masking tape along the spine to reduce the bleed through? Genius. Thanks Shari. Fabulous use of tissue wrap too. Got to get me some of that.
