Joined a CT

I'm so excited! I was asked by Amy over at Amy & Leah's Gimptastic Tuts to join their CT! Amy just started selling kits at PTE. She only has 1 up right now, but I love it! I'll be back later today with a tutorial using her new kit.

Introduction

This blog is for me to show off tags I've made. I'll be adding tutorials and (hopefully) templates and masks. Eventually I want to learn how to make scrapkits. I'll use mostly FTU scrapkits in my tutorials. I've never blogged before, so bare with me while I figure everything out.

Big thanks to Leah over at Amy & Leah's Gimptastic Tuts for all of her help!!!
