    Awesome first PTI MIM video Laurie. Slowly but surely I am moving things from my kitchen into my craft room. I love Press n' Seal and this technique is brilliant!

    Good job with the video. Great tip. I wandered how you got the strips all lined up so evenly.

    Great job on the video. Thanks for 5 he tip on the Press & Seal. I recently bought a 3-pack @ Costco and wondered if I'd ever use it all. Now I imagine I'll be purchasing another pack soon.

    I also want to compliment your color choices on the card. It looks like a pale grey base and the slight but not overly contrast with white is so sleek and fresh looking. Can't wait to see your next video :)

    Great video, especially for the first time! Speaking a little louder might help (or else it's my computer). The Press & Seal idea is awesome and will definitely come in handy for future projects. Glad you had the pieces prepared ahead of time to keep the video short and to the point. Great ideas!

    Beautiful card - love the simplicity of it but yet so eye-catching. Gotta say the Press N Seal is genius. I have some and I am going to give it a try - that is so much simpler than trying to evenly line up the pattern. Thank you sharing this great tip!
