Leopard Peel Off Borders by Judy Jackson


Hello, out there in Technique Junkie Land!  This is Judy Jackson sharing a card with you today.  I have used the Peel Off Border technique from the April-May 2012 newsletter.
I used the Scenic Stamping technique to create the focal image.  Stamps Credits are for Impression Obsession and Stampin' Up. I felt the lattice border sticker blended well with the masculine focal image.

In just days the June-July issue of the TJ newsletter will be mailed out!  Just wait till you see the techniques in that one!  Wonderful!  I hope your week is a great one!

Enjoy you creativity!

Try That Technique

Good Mornin' TJ'ers:  Nancy Dawson here to bring you this week's Try that Technique for May 24 - June 6. Masked Layers was featured in the February/March 2012 Technique Junkies NL. Using Stampin' Up! Newsprint Designer Paper (retired) as the background, I sponged with two shades of blue and one green classic ink, the vocal point is the Stampin' Up! Just Believe stamp set (which is NOT retiring).

What an interesting and great technique for masculine cards as well as get well, sympathy, birthday - the possibilities are endless. Come join the fun and post your cards for more inspiration.

Have a great day and go get 'inky'!

Fancy Folds and Motion CD: Tri Shutter Card

Hello TJ Friends~ Thank you for stopping by today! Kathie McGuire here on your Stamping Saturday. I thought I would share a very simple--but complex-looking card from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD. The Tri Shutter card is surely my favorite design and I seem to make them for almost any occasion. This card was made entirely from a Graphic 45 paper kit. What could be easier? I hope you've enjoyed looking and I sure appreciate the visit. Have a great rest of the weekend! Kathie

Holly Brown: Ducky Hugs


Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this cute Ducky Hugs card with you.  I've used the Collaged Circles background technique here, and I colored the duck image with Copic markers before I cut it out.  This cute duck image is from Prickley Pear, one of our TJ vendors this month.  I created the sentiment from some die cut letters, so it will be perfect to send this card to someone who needs a hug.  :-)

I hope this has put a smile on your face today!  Have a wonderful day!

Mini Album Mania by Judy Jackson







This little mini scrapbook album is a morphed version of two of the techniques listed on the Mini Album Mania CD - Hinged Coaster and Tag and Flap. Our daughter and family are missionaries in Romania and although we Skype often - hugging, kissing, and playing with her two boys in person is much better!  
While they were visiting us in the USA Aidan turned one year old - so we had a party!  We went to Romania a year ago to meet this little boy when he was one week old.  While we have lots and lots of pictures from that trip, and she sent us some during the year, there just were not enough pictures for a large regular scrapbook.
Our daughter chose 12 pictures - one for each month - to show how he had grown and changed during this first year and she had them on display for family to look at during the party.  I took those 12 pictures and put them into a mini album. Not all of the pages are displayed here in this post.

This was fun to make -- however, it only reminded me of how much I miss those boys!  Well, and their parents too!  Stamp credits: Verses and Inkadinkadoo.

If you have not yet purchased the Mini Album Mania CD and you are a scrapper or if you have dabbled a bit in scrapping but are overwhelmed at the thought of creating a regular sized scrapbook album, then this CD is for you!  The info for how to purchase this CD is on the side bar of this post.

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Cascading Images by Judy Jackson

This week's Try That Technique is Cascading Images.  It is very interesting to think about the images you own and figure out which images will work for this technique.  there are more than you might think!  Stamp credits are Stampin' Up, and SmART Works.  I dry embossed the green panel, added some bling and tied a ribbon and I like the results. I hope do as well!

I hope you are enjoying Spring as much as I am!
