Pickle Faces Layout

I have not been scrapping much, so I have not had much to post. But, I have been cleaning up the little studio. I got a huge box unpacked today. Only 2 more to go. I should probably post pictures once it is all done!

I did get one layout done for a one on one swap. This was made for my friend Lucy about their annual pickling tradition. It took me a while but I am hoping she likes the results.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill, SU and Club Scrap
Paper: Basic Grey
Letters: Am. Crafts Thickers (cause it's Lucy's LO)
Stamps: Making Memories (inked), SU (impressed)
Ribbon: Fancy Pants and M's
Frame: Lil Davis
Ink: Ranger Distress
Brads: SU
Punches: SU

Well, back to cleaning!

March 25 Stamp Camp!

I just had to share the Stampin Up Spring special with everyone, so I am in the planning stages of the next stamp camp on March 25. The theme is going to be Patterned Paper Projects!

All my customers should have their invitation email by now. If it did not make it to you, let me know.

I can't wait to be able to share the samples and ideas I have. Hopefully, I will get at least one done and posted this weekend. Check back soon!

This is only a test...

Some of the nice gals at Split Coast Stampers were helping me learn how to use this blog. I really wanted to be able to put the photos of the things I was talking about (artwork and stuff), into the post. And, I got directions! I am so excited.

So, hopefully to the right of this, you will see some cards I made with a stamp I got from Stampers Anonymous (by Tim Holtz) back in January. I used the Joseph's Coat technique. I made four cards, but they all look similar...



I also bought a new another new stamp by Tim yesterday and tried the brayered madras technique with that one. Here are a few samples of that effort.

That is all for now. I am excited to be able to share my stuff on here. Let me know what you think!

February Stamp Camp cards are up!

I wanted to share the cards we made at my Stampin' Up Stamp Camp in February. The first one is my favorite! I love the Cool Carribean color. I think I will need to stock up on it before they discontinue it in June. It was just so much fun to have people over to stamp!

I am starting to work on the March class, which will focus on using SU's patterned papers to make easy and fun cards. I can't wait until you guys see them. I will try to start getting a couple of them up before the class.

It took me a year!!!

But I am here. I am all settled into my new home and the studio is in working order. A few weeks ago, I even found my heat gun! I have been doing without it for almost a year.

I am now working on my first Stampin' Up Stamp Camp since my move. As soon as I have more of the samples ready, they will go up on here (as soon as I figure out how to post photos, anyway). See you soon...

It's a start

Well, here I am. I am always technologically behind. It took Jim months to convince me to sign up for AOL. Now I am totally addicted to my yahoo groups. Maybe this will be the same. So, here it goes...
