Ann's Polished Stone through the Window

When you read this I'll be enjoying the last day of a week long retreat at the beach for stamping.  I know I'll be in heaven.  This is a card I made for one of the techniques I'm teaching in my Alcohol Inks class.  The image is from Rubberstampave.  Kathy has such awesome cowboy stamps!!  I also used the torn frames for the layer around the sentiment.  Enjoy!!

Here is Hetty  and I made this card for my daughter, who has her own little appartment this month. For the card I used an old tutorial, but so much fun! It is the "Hidden Slider" from Feb/ March 2005.

It is such a fun way of making a card that i had forgotten about, but looking through all the techniques I thought this is it and it is absolutely not complicate to do. Just follow the instructions. If you are a member of Technique Junkies you can find and see it here:

I made this card with clear stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy (colored with copics) and papers from Papertemptress. The house is made with the cricut (ZooBalloo) and I used a cuttlebug folder to make the bricks on the house (cuttlebug highlight). Also the behind the house you see the use of a cuttlebug embossing folder.

Glitzy Lace and Masked Spellbinders...

Hi Everyone- This is Chris and today I have a few projects to share with you!  The first project uses the Glitzy Lace technique -

Here are the details:

Stamp Sets: Scripture Collection 1 from Our Daily Bread Designs

Cardstock: White, Pomegranite, black

Accessories: Lace, Martha Stewart Glitter, Xyron, White Satin Ribbon, Nestibilities, Technique Junkies Newsletter

 My second project I am sharing with you now is one I created during my great productivity!  I started by using the Technique Junkies April/ May 2010 Newsletter - Masked Spellbinders. I used the Labels Ten Nestibilities masking the gorgeous  FALL and WINTER Collage Sheet From I BRAKE FOR STAMPS. Using my airbrush tools and my Copic markers, I used E08, YR24 and YG95 to create a smooth, randomly colored leaf set. I love how it turned out! I then used a stipple brush and sponge to create the borders. Using a gold gel pen and piercing tool I added doodles and accents around the frame.

Smooch Painting Sneak Peak from CD 8 by Judy Jackson

I just love this new technique called Smooch Painting on the CD 8. Have you ordered yours yet? Email Pat Huntoon to order CD8 right away! It is such an elegant way to use those yummy Smooch paint colors. And they are so nice and easy to work with.

The pear stamp is by Rubber Stampede and the words are from A Stamp in the Hand. I stamped the words on a teal green vellum I have had in my paper stash for years and years. Isn't it fun when you actually can match papers from your stash? The delicious teal shimmer paper can be purchased from Paper Temptress. The bling are actually faux bad stickers.

This is an ATC I created for a swap and I had fun creating this ATC!

Have a great stamping day!

Somethin' Sweet....

Is what this little Ghostie is!! Jane Bosi comin' at you with a little Halloween fun! I know, I'm cutting it a little close with my Cuttlebug Smoosh (August 2008) share--last week's Try That Technique--but didn't it turn out cool? LOL!! Thursday is just around the corner so, if you haven't tried it--get goin'! There will be a new technique to try in a few days!

The Ghostie stamp is from I Brake For Stamps; the sentiment is Amuse. I've had my eye on that little guy for quite some time. He sure was fun to color with my Copic markers. I also had the chance to pull out my Copic airbrush--that always makes for a good day!

Speaking of good days.....go have one!

TTFN, Jane

Modified Scene Silhouettes by Judy Jackson

My husband and I have the pleasure of grandchildren. While we had our own three children and we enjoyed them very much -- those of you who are grandparents know there is just something special about grandchildren! My youngest grandchild is a boy - Ruben - and he lives with his Mommy and Daddy in Sighisoara, Romania. His parents are missionaries there. So we do not get to see them very often -- but Skype is a wonderful tool!

His second birthday is coming soon and he loves trains. So what could more appropriate than a train card for his second birthday. I used a stencil to create the clouds first and the grass with two different shades of green at the bottom. The train track is a roller wheel stamp. All of the cars of the train are stamped and then cut out and layered on the track on the inside.

There is an accordion fold in the middle so the card can stand up. (Those are not mountains as you might think but a shadow from scanning -- I think I need to clean my scanning bed.) This train scene reminds me of a children's book named Freight Train by Donald Crews. It is a perfect book for toddlers as there are very few words on a page and it is bright and colorful.

I masked the train, added the trees and sponged them to fill in color and to add some depth. I stamped some cattails with first, second and third generation stamping to add interest and some perspective.

Stamp credits are Stampin' Up, Inkadinkado (greeting in the inside), and Stampscapes.

I hope Ruben enjoys his birthday card! Gramma sure enjoys Ruben!

Happy stamping to all of you!

Judy Jackson
