Two Peas videos by Jennifer--Link Index (inspiring for any product)

And that's it for 2009 Thinking Inking class updates...

Had to share these with you a.s.a.p.
Some wicked technique videos!



WHAT: Technique videos (Jennifer uses Distress Inks & other product by Ranger, but you can use other types of supplies for many of the techniques, of course.) The videos are loaded with inspiration-no matter what materials you have.


WHO: Jennifer & Two Peas have 9 weeks of free video classes sponsored by Ranger Inks (and Tim Holtz) HERE. (Found 'em thanks to the Fab Martha Rose of Cuttlebug-itis Yahoo group fame.)

WHY: (am i linking them here?) I was finding them rather difficult to track down, so I thought I'd post a link list of them here in case any of you were having the same troubles...

WHERE: The two peas message boards (the forum threads for them also has chatting & goodies (prizes etc...) In case any of you missed it, or want to see it all pulled together, here it is:
