Aspen Workshop Pages

Over the weekend, I finished up my workshop samples for December's scrapbook workshop. I used the gorgeous Aspen papers from Close To My Heart. While I think these will look better with photos on them, that may have to wait just a little bit.








































These two pages use Ceramcoat Acrylic paint. While I'm not overly thrilled with the right page, I have to admit that it was my first time using paint on a scrapbook layout. I will more than likely mount a photo on another piece of cardstock then onto the mat covering up some of the paint.

On these two pages, I used the dry embossing and sanding techniques. I honestly LOVE the My Stickease assortment for these papers!

Until next time....

Mini Acrylic Album

I thought I'd start off by sharing this mini acrylic album I completed this week. I used CTMH's new My Creations Mini Acrylic Album and My Reflections Evensong Level 2 Papers. Accessories include: ribbon, rub-ons, and sparkles. This will be a part of my December workshop schedule, which revolves around Christmas gifts. Be sure to check my CTMH website for complete details. I apologize for the quality of the photos; however this is not an easy thing to photograph (could be my photography skills too - LOL!)

Welcome!

Welcome to my stamping, scrapping, papercrafting blog! I have long hesitated to jump on the blog "bandwagon" simply because my schedule does not allow for a lot of extra time. However, with the Holidays fast approaching, I thought I would take the opporunity to share some of my creations.

I am a stamper at heart, who has also found scrapbooking and papercrafting/altered art. I learned a LONG time ago, that I cannot draw and did not have the patience to learn. However, I can color (you do learn a few things in kindegarten). When I discovered stamping, I fell in love with all the wonderful images that I could stamp and color in and turn into my version of art.

As a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant, I have learned many techniques, as well as gotten into the scrapbooking side of paper crafts. I also LOVE to make projects - boxes, bags, alterable things - if it can be stamped, scored, folded, shaped, etc., I love doing it.

While I cannot promise that I will post daily, or regularly, my goal is to post at least once a week or so. I try to find a little time to create in my busy schedule, even if it's just the things we will be doing for classes and workshop. Until I get in the swing of posting here, I invite you to stop by my Close To My Heart website to view some of the things I've done over the last year or so.

Until next time...
