Inspiration abounds online! TONS of free online crafting magazines !

Good morning everyone, happy Tax Day lol  I know, just could not resist : )  I love Spring, but I do not love that Spring and taxes occur at the same time...sigh.

For all of you that are in the Midwest, my thoughts and prayers for you, hoping that you were able to escape any harm from the tornadoes and bad weather this last weekend.

We are getting ready to take off to visit our Marine this weekend, have not seen him since January so this visit is LONG overdue!  Am trying to figure out what I want to bring in the car for crafting...colored pencils maybe or I might work on some lettering (still need to sign up for the lettering class I linked to a while ago).

Thought I would share with you a few cards I worked on recently, here they are:

                                         
Used a stamp from Stampers Best for the card above, also colored the image with Derwent Inktense Watersoluble Ink Pencils and colored pencils.

                                        
Used my Stamps by Judith stamps on this card, and am also making a number of other cards with a similar design, close up below.
                                    
The quote is not Stamps by Judith, but the rest of the images are : )

Let's get on with business, shall we?  I found a new online stamping magazine and then started searching and found that there are a number of GREAT online magazines, all FREE!  So, sit back and enjoy inspiration from all over the web, all without costing you a dime (unless you are enabled by what you see : )  Most of these magazines can also be downloaded to your computer so that you can view them off line if you like.
