Technique Blitz: Patina

Just a quick little card I made for a friend I am inviting to Thanksgiving dinner. I thought it was appropriate today because it is the Thanksgiving Holiday in Canada today, too. Happy Thanksgiving to our friends to the North!

This card uses stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs. The background uses the Patina Technique from the October 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful Wednesday Giveaway: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

These stamps make me chuckle. I just adore them! One lucky winner of this giveaway will adore having them in their collection, too.

I colored the turkey with Copic Markers, and cut out the images -- a fun, quick card! I really like all the sayings that these stamps come with -- they are just great!

Cuttlebug Highlights meet Bandanna...

I should not be buying stamps. Ever. I have billions. But I can't resist! I was in the stamp store purchasing chalk refills (ahem, junkies, that may be a December hint) when this Happy Halloween stamp just jumped out at me. I knew that this cool Cuttlebug folder had been calling me for a week or two -- so I just had to have the stamp (by Inkadinkadoo) so I could make a happy marriage between the two. My creation combines the Cuttlebug Highlights technique (October 2008 Technique Junkie Newsletter) with the Bandanna Technique (August 2008 newsletter). This time, though, I used a Souffle Pen to out line the embossed areas. Did I mention that those pens jumped into my basket, too?

My highlighting on this is not perfect, but I am reveling in it's imperfection...Happy Technique Blitz.

Blogger's Challenge: Falling for You

Today's Blogger's Challenge was "Falling for You." I chose to take the suggested theme literally and make a fall-themed card. In keeping with the Technique Blitz this month, I used the Punched Through Technique from the Ribbon Extravaganza in the October 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. All stamps are from Firecracker Designs by Pamela.

Happy fall!



Technique Blitz: Faux Dichroic Bracelet


I have had this for a while, but I just cannot seem to take a picture of this that looks nice. Well, that is part of it -- the other part is that I just never seem to remember to do it!

In any case, this was made using the Faux Dichroic Technique, on of the CD 6 Bonus Techniques. These pieces are really pretty in real life! Sorry the pictures don't capture that...



Wonderful Wednesday Giveaway: Firecracker Designs by Pamela


Today's Wonderful Wednesday giveaway is a hoot! These fun stamps by Firecracker Designs by Pamela are a delight! The card made for today's giveaway was made using the Geometric Overlay technique from the October 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I changed things a bit, though, and colored the owl and front images with Copic Markers and watercolor crayons. I love how dimensional this is in real life!
