  One of the greatest things about the new Stampbooking CD is the ability browse through it  to find inspiration for your layouts, then to print out the tutorial (with examples) to take to my scrapping area. I love having these 75 step-by-step ideas at my disposal! The fun part for me in creating this CD was trying as many of the techniques as I could before CD release -- and even now I am still working through them with my current scrapbook projects.

This page was embellished with Flowers made from the Tie-Dye Chic Embellishment technique, one of the 18 Embellishment Tutorials you will find (out of the 75 Tutorials on the CD. Stamps from Judikins and Close To My Heart. I think they add the right splash of color to what could have been a monotone layout.

Painted Pastel Embossed Flower

 I recently acquired this gorgeous embossing folder from Stampin' Up! and it has quickly become one of my favorites. With this card I used the Pastel Painted Embossing Technique from the Technique Junkie Emboss or Die CD to color the embossed area. The stamp along the side is from I Brake for Stamps. The side view is here:


Have a great day!

Textured Paris

I am a Junkie for Techniques -- and for anything Parisian. I love Eiffel Tower stamps -- I try not to buy them, but somehow I have several different sizes of them in my stash.  This one is from Stampin' Up!.  The card here uses the Faux Fresco Technique from the Emboss or Die CD for the background. It has great texture!  I made this for a color challenge on a Yahoo group -- I needed to send this to my friend Rose, who is a unbelieveable stamp artist, so I was a bit nervous sending it to her.  I hope she liked it!

Tribute to my mom...

My mother passed away a little more almost exactly 5 1/2 years ago and I miss her greatly. She warmed the world with her smile...  She was kind, and believed that you should never say anything bad about everyone. I miss her greatly, as do my five siblings and father; scores of cousins, aunts and uncles, along with her many friends. She brightened everyone's worlds.

So this card is for you, Mom. You helped me become the mother I am; I have often looked to your words for dealing with my own children. I miss you horribly.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone. And thank you to my children, who are so sweet and have worked so hard to make this a special day for me!
