Clowin' Around..

{Jane Bosi} LOVIN' the brand new clown images by Rick St. Dennis over at I Brake For Stamps! The Sepia technique (October 2009) and this fantastic designer paper really make the image pop! I love the Sepia technique because it's so versatile and produces consistant WOW results! Try it--you'll agree! I'm running "Clown Week" over on my blog--a new technique and a new clown everyday! C'mon over!

TTFN, Jane

Christmas Deconstructed Collage by Judy Jackson


I have had this Christmas Collage stamp a long time. I unmounted it within the last year and forgot to make a note of the manufacturer. I have tried to find out who makes this stamp to no avail -- so if you know please let me know.
This is a terrific technique from the December-January TJ newsletter. I really like this technique because it a good way to add details and highlights to a collage image. I decided to have the star and the word images --which are the Names of Jesus - just be in the background. So the Babe in the manger and the scroll were the only images that I "deconstructed." I layered the image on this beautiful background paper from Stampin' Up.
I think the elements of the card create a lovely card with a wonderful message.
May be your Christmas be one of true peace and joy. God bless you all! Happy crafting!
