Picture Perfect

Good Mornin' Ladies:

Nancy Dawson here to share with you a great technique to dress up those special photos! It is called Picture Perfect and it adds so much to your photo. I hope everyone is enjoying all this snow we're getting. I thought it was supposed to be Spring but seems it has missed us again. This technique was featured in the December 2011/January 2012 Technique Junkies Newsletter.

This is my son and his beautiful family I made into a refrigerator magnet. Now you have a super opportunity to stamp and scrap so come let's play!

Have a great day!
Nancy

In The Middle Technique

From the new Simple and Easy Inking Techniques Remix CD

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. It's nice to be back with a simple yet effective technique for you. This card uses an Art Neko stamp as the focal image and a Club Stamp sentiment. This is a card that can be made in a flash when needed for a last minute birthday card or any other occasion that requires a card in a hurry. I have seen many of these cards on TJ yahoo group made by members and have liked every one of them.

Give it a try won't you?

See you back in two weeks or perhaps sooner with a Technique of the Week!

Block Fill

Hello, Beth Norman here with the Block Fill technique which you will find in the December 2012 issue.  It is such a fun and easy technique.  If you love colouring then this is definitely the technique to try.  Watching the TJ Yahoo group, this technique is proving to be a very popular one.

My house mouse is pretty relaxed, just like I was when I was colouring.  Sentiment is from SU.

Have a great day.

Textured Paint Technique by Judy Jackson

Snow on the trees in March. For many of us that seems silly, but for lots of other places it is a last vestige of winter holding on.  This technique is from the current newsletter.   Can you see the three deer peeking through the trees? The clouds are made from a template I made from a sheet of scrap acetate.  I used a black magic marker and drew "cloud bumps" not too close together. And I cut them out. Now I lay my cloud template down on card stock and sponge the edge creating either a cloudy sky, storm clouds, sunset, or sun rise - whatever I want my sky to look like. choose appropriate colors and there you go. The trees were die cut and then sponged in several shades of green and a bit of brown. After the trees were almost dry, I sponged on some white paint.

I know there are some people who cannot get enough of winter and snow -- but I am done with it, please!  Spring cannot come quickly enough for me!
