Blast From The Past

Ok, I know I said that I'd only post a couple times a week, but I just had to see if I could post a couple of pics of cards that I did this past Mother's Day for my Mom and my Mother in Law, and a birthday card.

The first and second card are done with a glitter tech. First you stamp your image with a solvent ink like StazOn on a regular transparency. Then add glue to all the sections that are the same color, I use Jewel It glue. Then add glitter to all of those sections. Let that dry and glue another section add next color of glitter and so on. The first card is done without any cutouts. On the second (Poppy) the part that overhangs is cut out. Do this with very sharp small scissors after it has completely dried. Both cards have a center gift card holder.

1st card PSX stamp. 2nd card Yvonne Albritton stamp


For this card I used a Penny Black image stamped with StazOn ink on watercolor paper. I used Stampin' Up markers and a waterbrush to get a watercolor effect. I added stickles glitter to the flower bouquet.

So how was that for a first?

Hope you liked it.

A Little About Me

September 29, 2008





SO SCARY! My first attempt at writing a blog. I've been reading blogs for about a year and now when I get up the courage to start my own blog I freeze up. UGH! Just some info so you can get to know me. I have a DH who supports all of my strange addictions, (hoarding everything dealing with stampin' and scrappin', and every thing else I have to try.) We have 6 children, and 2 grandchildren. I was born and raised in Southern California and now live in a Beautiful Green valley in Utah. Although you know what they say. "You can take the girl out of California, but you can't take California out of the girl. I miss the ocean more than anything. I have been a stamper/scrapbooker for over ?? years, to many to count and I have loved every minute of it. I signed up with Stampin' Up this past May to help out with my addiction to stampin' and I hope to be able to get a couple of clubs going to share what I love to do with friends and neighbors.


I'll try to post a couple times a week and when I get courageous enough, I post pics.
