Every technique I know project! Step One...

Good Evening fellow papercrafters!  I am going to undertake a small project... I am going to find one stamp and try every technique I have learned over the past several years!  Stay tuned!  We are going to try embossing, water colors, viva décor 3D stamp ink, chalks, perfect pearls, metallic rubs, colored pencils and gamsol, foil & flocking/glitter, and whatever else I can get my hands on!

So, step one... admit you have a paper-crafting addiction.

I can't wait to start... but for tonight, I need to catch up on my beauty sleep!  Good Night!

Step two... pick a stamp!

Aluminum foil!

Fold aluminum foil several times and the run through an embosser...I used my sizzix.  I then rubbed stazon over the raised image... Oh the possibilities!

A fun Friday night!

Apparently it was a 'brown' night!  Tried a bunch of be ideas and techniques....
...didn't figure out embossing and then adding glitter.... But we'll figure it out!


I tried the Stampin' up pastels for the flower.  I think I like them!

I think I love this!

 
Trying to make my own embellishments... was happy to have the cricut on hand tonight!

2013 Christmas Card Designs


I have spent some time looking at designs and trying new techniques.  I should never have gone to the Heirloom's Rubber Stamp and Art Festival at the Big E with Mom on 6-2-13.









My favorite scrapbook pages and favorite scrapbook layouts

I have created several scrapbooks since I emerged myself in 2007.  I have made 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, 6x11, 12x12, and 11x15 albums.  I have used photo albums and Project Life kits.  Below are some photos of my my favorite scrapbook pages.
