Makin' It

After fooling around a bit with the tabletop press that Doug made for me, here are a few results.

I'm pretty excited, since one of my favorite people in the world, my friend, Katie, is celebrating a birthday this week and I can send her something made on my press!

I started with a few leaves from our yard. The evergreen leaves were so fragrant when I pulled them off of the press! I wish I could bottle of little of it to spray on the finished product, just to send that sensibility along with the visual.

It felt completely decadent to have a couple of hours this afternoon--kid free--to play with the press. My home-made card and letter designs are usually pretty basic. This added texture will be a great feature to play with to mix it up.

Thanks, Doug!!
