Hi, Beth Norman here with my lunch bag technique which is on our new Stampbooking CD. You may recognize it from our recent blog hop. I am thrilled with the directions and the technique. I was able to whip up this book in a day. There are 75 tutorials on this CD and can be purchased here.

On a side note, this is a photo album full of my daughter's photos throughout her 26 years. Won't she be surprised this Christmas.

Try That Technique

Good Mornin' Ladies! It's Try that Technique Thursday again. My how time flies when you are having FUN! I hope you enjoy trying this Sanded Whitewash technique which was featured in the August/September 2010 Technique Junkies Newsletter.

I used some of the new paper from Stampin' Up, Island Indigo accented with Rich Razzleberry and a quote from one of the new stamp sets.

Please play along and you might just WIN the coveted spot on the Technique Junkie Yahoo Group home page.

Grungy Altered Title CARD from Stampbooking CD by Judy Jackson

Pat Huntoon has said it. Jane Bosi has said it. Different ones on the Stampbooking Blog Hop this week have said it. And I have said it. Yes, you CAN use the techniques on the Stampbooking CD on just cards!
I used the Altered Grungy title technique on a scrapbook page for the Blog Hop. Now I want to show you a card I recently made using the same technique! Because I made a card, the letters in my title had to be smaller. The little tags for the letters also had to be smaller! Therefore I couldn't squeeze in quite as many embellishments on the smaller size but I managed to get a fair amount of embellies on the tags!

I used stamps from Paper Bag Studios, Impression Obsession, Stampin' Up, and Stampers Anonymous.

My off-kilter designer paper was altered and had several layers of distress Inks burnished onto the card stock.

I hope you enjoy this application of the Grungy Altered Title technique onto a card. Sometimes we all need to think a bit outside the box!

So my question from Monday still remains -- have you ordered the Stampbooking CD? If not, why not? Check out the TJ website for full info. Go here for full info:

I hope you have a great week!

Stampbooking Hop

Jane Bosi, here, with a reminder to hop along with the Stampbooking CD blog hop! The hop started yesterday here (see Judy's post below!). You have until the end of the week to hop through and leave a comment on the last blog (mine). You'll be eligible for the prize drawing when you leave me a comment. There will also be a special prize given to one of those who also invites others to hop along! You will read all about it when you make it to the end of the hop!

My page features the Punched Out Borders technique from the Stampbooking CD. It's just one of the 75 fun and inspiring techniques found on this great tool! I thought it was the perfect way to highlight these pictures of my little man!

There are many stops along the hop--Designer's may have posted other art by the time you start your hop, but you'll just need to scroll down to find their Stampbooking Hop post! It will be well worth your time!

TTFN, Jane

Grungy Altered Titles - Stampbooking CD Blog Hop by Judy Jackson

Welcome to the Technique Junkie Stampbooking Blog Hop! This is Judy Jackson welcoming you to the first stop. Please make sure you follow the entire Blog Hop to be able to win a wonderful prize at the end! Jane Bosi has a great prize to tell you about!

The Stampbooking CD is full -- 75 different techniques full! -- of different ways to use your stamps (and other products of course) in different ways in your scrapbook. In addition, these techniques can also be used on cards! How great is that!

This scrapbook page uses the Altered Grungy Titles Technique. I used stamps from Stampers Anonymous, Hampton Arts, and Stampin' Up!

I am working on several scrapbooks at the same time -- have you ever done that? This page is for the scrapbook that will highlight different aspects of my life -- I am a sister, a mother, a cousin, a grandmother, a wife, a teacher, an aunt, a friend, a stamper, a scrapbooker, and so on. It is meant to be a brief glimpse of who I am. I want to be sure that my grandchildren - especially - know who I am and what makes me tick! It will not be meant to be a total history of my life. I already have a scrapbook that is sort of biographical of my childhood and has pictures of my ancestors. The little girl in this picture is me at about age 3 1/2. The photo is matted several times - the last mat layer is a sheet of vellum.

The TJ Designers, along with several Spotlight Stampers, have worked hard to bring you this inspirational Hop. Please leave them all a little love when you visit! The Hop Designers are:

Ann Clack here with Antique Wallpaper!

This is such an easy technique and gives such great results!  Give the Antique Wallpaper technique a try and you will LOVE it!!  It is from the June/July 2010 issue.  This is a card that I did for my upcoming copic class at a local stamp store.

Blended Blotches

Hi, everyone, Donna here! For today's post, I thought I'd share a set of ATC's that I made using my Blended Blotches technique from the April/May 2011 newsletter. I used Inktense pencils and my favorite sunflower stamp from Starving Artistamps for these.  Each card is done with different colors, in fact, I ended up using most of the 72 colors in my Inktense set by the time I was done.

Have a great weekend!
