The Details

I was so excited to see this tractor in the Kit of the Month. I come from a long line of South Dakota farmers so it was a no brainer to ink this stamp up first. I’m a fan of craft cardstock. I love the warmth it gives to any card, so I stamped that tractor on craft cardstock and pulled out my color pencils to get to work.

Check out the video to get a peek at my new color pencil holder! I love it. It is big enough to hold all my regular color pencils and my watercolor pencils too. Not to mention there is plenty of room for more.
