FREE OPPORTUNITY! THANKS SO MUCH to any and all of you who made this happen on YouTube! I can hardly believe it.... !!!! Hi crafty friends! Today I am celebrating the @altenewllc October Marvelous Monthly Series Collection with two new video tutorials! [These were the last two cards that I made before I got sick this summer.... This is #2 of 2.] Hi crafty friends! Today I am celebrating the @altenewllc October Marvelous Monthly Series Collection with two new video tutorials! [These were the last two cards that I made before I got sick this summer....]. This is #1 of 2. I had so much fun working with the new Craft-a-Flower Epiphyllum! I hope you'll be inspired. 😊 Hi everyone! I just posted the next video in my series about using digital resources (Canva). It's a detailed explanation of how to "stage" your card photos EASILY with NO HASSLES! I'm so excited to be a part of the next Card Maker Success Summit next February! Check out the link in my bio. Hi friends ~ You may have noticed that I have been MIA from IG for way too long. These health challenges have been horrible all summer and are still really hindering me from card making (long story). I have only been out of my house 3 times since 7/18. 🙄 And, I am confined to just me & my laptop in my recliner.... so I am trying to make lemonade from the lemons. THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for your kind comments about my new kids' activity book! I appreciate them so very much. It was so much fun to put together that I have decided to make some additional books - a wide variety for everyone - even after I am able to get back to my usual cardmaking. Why not? This is my new logo for that adventure! Looking forward to another new journey..... 😃 I'm posting again with the new & official link to a flipbook that shows all of the interior pages of my new kids' book. Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments! I really appreciate them. I should be back to cardmaking soon too... feeling better so I'm heading the right direction! Hi friends! Altenew Certified Educators are having a fun blog hop today, focused on MAKE IT MASCULINE! For my card I used a mosaic technique with acetate that I just love, and I hope you like it too.... and get inspired! 🙂 I made a quick and unique card for a new Alaskan baby! The twist is that I used a gift bag as patterned paper in my card. It was a fun and easy project! Have you registered for the CARD MAKERS SUCCESS SUMMIT yet?

Just a final reminder that the CARD MAKER SUCCESS SUMMIT starts on Thursday! STARTS IN FIVE DAYS! Sorry I have been MIA on IG recently. Our CA family (including 3 grandkids) have been visiting us in Alaska. We haven’t seen them for 3 years! So I have been maximizing family time. This is the card I made for our 11-year-old grandson who LOVES golf & all things busy & bright! 😃 Have you registered for the Card Maker Success Summit yet?

[SCROLL TO SEE THEM ALL] If you are interested in how I made my cards, you can read the details on my blog at: https://sandespoema.com/?p=3315 Last Sunday I led an Altenew Workshop on Using Alcohol Markers to color flowers. [We had 85-90 participants on Zoom!] I have now posted the video on YouTube for those who couldn't make it. There are lots of tips on everything from papers to inks to blending.... Hi friends! Today I'm taking part in the "Background Check - It's All About the Background" Instagram Hop with my fellow Altenew Educators! Since the focus is interesting backgrounds, I decided to try a fun way to do a mosaic background that I learned from @natashafootecreative. I made the mosaic from the @Altenew Essential Black & White Paper Pack. The flower is the beautiful Fairy Tale Rose. Today I'm excited to be a part of the @altenewllc "You're a Classic" release and Instagram Hop! What a fun stamp this is! Who doesn't love classic cars.... and especially the men in our lives?

What does Poema mean?

Poema is a Greek word found in the Bible in Ephesians 2:10, where it says that we (people) are God’s poema. The literal meaning is “handiwork, masterpiece, or hand-crafted.” So my prayer is that the cards that I make and that I may inspire others to make will be poemas that will bless anyone who sees them.
