Ironically the image I used is from one of my favorite online digital stamp stores ...

Here is a sneak peek at the blog candy I will be giving away for our next Tuesday Alchemy Challenge that begins bright and early tomorrow morning.  There are a couple of extra surprise items included as well. I hope you will join in the challenge and visit the blogs from our design team and look at the various tutorials. This is my first online tutorial so this is a huge leap for me.   Have fun!!!
