Hodgepodge Hardware

Our Hodgepodge Hardware come in a Silver finish or Vanilla. This is the Vanilla finish and we made a book mark out of them. attached is our grograin ribbon with the matching brads that come in the kit. We embossed our initial with Very Vanilla craft ink and clear embossing powder. Great for your Summer reading!

Two Steppin'

Barley Banana and So Saffron make up the two step colors of these roses. Leaves are mellow moss and old olive. This was a card we made at Club on Thursday night. Yellow roses are my favorite color rose.. Great use of the Stamp a ma jig too!

Made it my own!

Saturday several of fellow Demonstrators gathered at Tabby's stamp room for an all day stamp! It's fun to just check out and live in the "stamp world" with friends! I worked on swaps for our demonstrator meeting and my friend Elizabeth was making a version of this card. It is not either of ours orginal idea, sorry can't remember who we CASED it from But we made it our own. These bears are just too fun. I think we had all sniffed too much stazon ink cause we were just about to build these bears a hut and closets of clothes by the time we finished playing with them. I'm going to make some more, cause they were just too fun! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a grin on your face from looking at Da Bears!

SU's art Stencils

This is my first attempt at the Stampin' Up!'s Stencils. Wow what fun! I learn a lot. First off I bought spray aheasive to use on the stencils and I learned you don't want to spray that stuff a close range with your fan on in your stamp room.. I have spray aheasive everywhere! Even on my computer keys that was across the room when I sprayed it! I was also stuck to the floor! I'm free now. I used acrilic paint and it dries fast so was unable to move it around like I wanted, but pleased with my first attempt. THis is on a piece of canvas. I did a couple more and will post them soon. I sure hope SU comes out with some stenciling brushes 'cause the ones I bought loose their hair! and I was picking that out too. Going to try some with our die inks on paper and make a card.. I'll let you know how that goes too. Thanks for looking.

Tart and Tangy

Love this set. IT's a set of 4 "Tart and Tangy" if you look it up in the catalog you will see where I got the inspiration for this card. I added some crystal effects for the dimension and shine. I've learn to use the SU Idea Book and Catalog more often.. It is filled with over 300 ideas! Pick you one today and Make a Card! Thanks for Stopping by and Stay tuned as the retired list aka Last chance list will post June 1st.

What a cool technique

My Friend Cassie sent me a card that had this technique on it. Not sue that I can explain it.. I'm a "Show me" person.. Probably why I love what I do.. I get to share what I learn. I'll be showing this technique at our Demo meeting on the 1st, along with my technique club in June. The Brown paper started out as very vanilla...It is an embossed resist along with another technique that Cassie shared with me, but I forgot the name... so When Cassie sees this on this blog I bet she could post a comment to explain. I'm so excited to be able to share it in person with you girls. Thanks for looking and I also appreciate you sharing my blog with your friends.
Jan.....BTW Organic Outline is my favorite stampset! Sure hope it doesn't retire.
