Easel Birthday Card


I found this card idea at Splitcoast Stampers.  It's called an Easel Card. I also continue to practice my Prisma Colored Pencil Technique.  Didn't need as much Mineral Spirits on this smooth paper, not sure if I like pencils on this type of paper, this may be a great paper for Copics.


Here's the side view, as you can see it stands quite nicely.

Papers: Club Scrap and DCWV, Stamp: Fiskars.

Flourishes and Club Scrap

 Here is a card I made today using Flourishes Garden Fresh stamp set and Club Scrap's Arts & Crafts papers and ribbon.  The flower stamp on the background of the "Hi Sweet Pea" is by Stamps by Judith.

Here is a close up of my first Prisma Colored Pencil technique... still need practice with the blending pencil, stubs and Mineral Spirits...

Papillon ATC

Papillon ATC
Used a watercolor technique from Annette for this ATC, where you use Mulberry White paper, Watercolor Crayons (in my case I used my Gelatos and Watercolors crayons) and also foam brushes to wet the paper with the color that was placed on the tips of my foam brushes... Began by stamping my image with Versamark and embossing with white embossing powder and away we go! Thanks Annette!

PSL is over :(

Very sad, PSL is over, BUT on a good note -- I hoed out 8 plus boxes of kits, reorganized and have gotten  things together to RAK on!!!  Now I should be able to start posting on this blog with some creative stuff!  Now my layouts were creative, and I had a blast doing them, but I need to get inky!!!!!  Maybe get some projects done now!! Woohoo!

Solstice Album


My project for today was to make a mini 7 photo album holder for my brother's exwife (of 20 years) who I reconnected with.  She is also the mother of my 2 nephews who are close to 30 years old.  I had pics that she never saw and wanted printed, so I printed them, but gave her a mini album of her and her grandkids that she gave me pics of ;) I used the Solstice kit and my Bind-It-All...love that little machine!
